[/quote] Nope, again. Here's what I mean: if you want to produce high power under a spectrum of cadence and torque, you need to practice producing high power under a spectrum of cadence and torque. Practicing by producing high power at a fixed cadence under a spectrum of torques won't generalize. That's why it doesn't make sense to seek your "best" cadence and then increase torque at that particular cadence. [/QUOTE]
Of course that makes sense for most things in cycling.
The "best" Cadence was refering to getting and training to get your best steady state such as in a TT. And which may offer more enurance benefits.
We are usually changing the velocity of our cranks all the time in the real world and you are right we can not ignore that from a neuromuscular view point. From an endurance point of view our muscles main concern is sustained energy supply. Where am I getting it, how much I have left how it is being produced.
And while there is a optimal Cadence for a Steady state effort (Max Watts for a duration), I still mentioned that one should train above and below that.
But even that would not take into account the constant changing on the road.
