Description

Power output during exercise testing is expressed in either watts (W) or kg • m per minute.


 

According to Mertens et al, 1 W = 6.13 kp • m / min (with kp = kilopond).

 

According to the ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise and Testing and Prescription (1995), 1 W equals approximately 6 kg • m / min.
