Effects of Water Immersion on the Internal Power of Cycling

Conclusions Water drag increased Ėint, although limbs unloading via the Archimedes’ principle and limbs shape could be potential confounding factors. A simple formula was developed to predict the increase in mechanical power in dry conditions needed to match the rate of energy expenditure during underwater cycling: 44 fp3 – 7 W, where fp is expressed in Hertz.
