Calculate Watts per Kilo (W/kg)



Formula

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

\[ \text{WPK} = \frac{W}{K} \]

Where:

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:

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.
