400 an average sustainable load
For average whatts per kilogram is important when you reach 7watts a kilo your well up there with the better(or maybe even best) amateurs. (not for kids they tend to way less versus the development of there muscles/cardivascular system thats also why there VO2 max'es are not straigtlined comparable with these from adults)

Just done a test on a friends cateye cyclosimulator turbo trainer, I did a sitting down sprint to check power output. Just wondered what the average power output is? i put out 1537 watts, and weigh 10.5stones, not sure what that is in kilo's. cheers

The *very* best can sustain ~7 W/kg (likely less) for not too long, probably around 20-mins at the outside.
The world record for the individual pursuit was at ~ 7.7 W/kg, whereas the hour record was ~ 6.6 W/kg
Veloflash, weight does have some effect on sprinting in that it is much easier to accelerate with less weight, thus leaving more energy to increasing the length of the sprint or to reach the top speed faster.

Re-energizing an old thread here. I'm new to the power training concept. Purchased a Computrainer to help get through the long winter months before I can get back on the roads. I seem to hold 230-250 watts for 10-12 min. T-hold intervals (165 HR), and recover at 150-180.
I'm familiar with HR training zones, and am wondering if there is a training protocol based on power out put as well. What is "map" refered to above? I assume maximum average power, but how does this translate to traing intensity levels?
