Validity of a novel device for real-time analysis of cyclists’ drag area

Objectives To assess the reliability, validity, and sensitivity of a novel device (Notio Konect™) which is purported to provide a real-time analysis of aerodynamic drag area (CdA) during cycling. Design Observational, cross-sectional study. Methods Fifteen trained cyclists rode in an indoor velodrome using three different positions (upright, aero [holding aero bars], and optimized aero [similar to aero, but wearing a time-trial helmet]). They...
