Weighted Power
Mathematical and physiological reference for Weighted Power, a non-linear single-number summary of a variable-power effort, computed as the fourth-root of the mean of the fourth-power of a 30-second rolling-average power stream. Approximates the equivalent constant power that would have produced the same physiological cost.
