Difference in Left Right Balance

[app4g]

@MedTechCD

Most power meters send both left and right power data as one channel over BLE.

I have an assioma duo as well and i did do some testing before migrating over to using the ANT+ simulator (but I connected to it via ANT+) as I had trouble simulating 100% left only w/o wearing cleated shoes :p)

@MedTechCD

Sorry for the confusion but I did not examine the FIT file. I only checked the csv export which is already processed by Intervals. Hence the simple datafield Balance that contains a percentage number contributed by the Right leg…

Noted that. I used the raw FIT file which either I crafted using my BreakAway app (I’m exploring support for power balance and thus migrating over from TCX to FIT files), using the ANT+ simulator or downloaded from GarminConnect.

We’ll have to wait for david to revert on his method of decoding the L/R data from the fit file. (but, from what I can see, seems to be correct. My only suggestion would be to look at the graph labelling, which may be confusing to some. It all depends on how one looks at the graph possibly. I like how this post from @Lukasz_Pludowski and the way he draw the bike on top of it as a way to visualise it)

I personally don’t look at it (anymore) as LR can’t realy be trained to be a perfect 50-50 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Unable to display L/R Balance in activities/graphs

For me this graph is perfectly fine and 100% logic. Just imagine there is a horizontal symetry line in the middle of the graph showing perfect balance 50:50 (you can even imagine a top view of your bike on that line). If the dot land above it, it means bias towards right side and below toward left side [aaaaa]
