Watts per Kilo Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Watts per Kilo (WPK) is:

$\text{WPK} = \frac{W}{K}$

Where:

$\text{WPK}$ is the Watts per Kilo (W/kg)
$W$ is the watts
$K$ is the total weight (kg)

What is Watts per Kilo?

Watts per Kilo (WPK) is a measurement used to express the power output per kilogram of body weight. It is a common metric in cycling, running, and other endurance sports to assess an athlete's efficiency and performance. A higher WPK indicates a greater power output relative to the athlete's weight, which can be a critical factor in competitive scenarios.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Watts (W) = 250 W
Total Weight (K) = 70 kg

Using the formula to calculate Watts per Kilo:

$\text{WPK} = \frac{250}{70} \approx 3.57 \text{ W/kg}$

The Watts per Kilo is approximately 3.57 W/kg.
