If I go cycling for 5 minutes continuously to produce 100 watts on two machines from different manufacturers, then my fatigue should be the same? Is it a good way to make two people have to put on the same amount of effort in cycling? | |

| Aug 9, 2018 at 15:04 | comment | added | Paweł | So if I would like to compare two people on two machines from different manufacturers, then there is no way to set the same resistance? Considering that one machine can have resistance in the range 1-25 and the other machine can have resistance in the range 1-45. Can we assume that the maximum resistance is the same on different machines from different manufacturers? | |
