Re: Stryd (running) power meter [codygo]

In running, one could have stride length differences, and other kinematic asymmetries at hips, knee, and ankle joints. If the leg with a Stryd sensor is left “dead” and one hops with the other leg, what would it report? There’s assumed symmetry and the errors are likely to be more severe than single-sided cycling power meter measurements since there are more degrees of freedom to go wrong.


Even the dead leg needs to travel the same distance in the same amount of time as the dominant leg. You might have differences in stride height if you're dragging the dead one around, but stride length needs to be equal between each leg.

What doesn't change also is your weight - the two leg system still has to run your body a set distance, over the same hills, against the same wind, etc.
