As the metabolic cost is a function of power output and speed of muscle shortening, then if the crank length does not change and the power remains the same, a higher cadence causes faster muscle contraction for the same power, thus a higher metabolic cost for the same power. Is this correct?
Power is a function of speed and force and metabolic cost is a function of power and speed of muscle shortening / contracting, so I'm not sure what your point is.
