Paralympic power #s

Anybody happen to have any power data for paralympic cyclists?

wouldn't it depend on what their disability was?

Yes, I just figured I'd cast a wide net. I would be looking for L2 category #s (atleast I think). It's pretty hard to exactly know based on the descriptions of the different disability levels online where I would sit. I have left leg weakness, decreased sensation and spasticity and some symptoms in my left arm as well (although the arm doesn't really limit me). I just thought knowing some #s might give me a goal ...or two... to shoot for (not that I could ever necessarily reach it).Scott

i did see some data a while back (which is what i was trying to locate for you) from British Cycling (as they had a lots sports science data from the Paralympic squad). I'll see if i can find it over the coming days - i'm just a bit short of time at present.

Thanks Ric.

I can try and find out for you. I have a friend who is on a paralympic skiing team and he may have access to cyclist's info

That would be great giannip!

Hi

Seems like I have finally tracked down someone who might have some info.

Will hopefully have news tomorrow.

cheers
