There’s been a lot of research on how your cadence affects your heart rate–for a given power output, there is usually a cadence that creates the lowest heart rate for an individual.<\/p>\n
But could there be a correlation the other way? What if your blood flow worked best when pumping at a similar frequency to your pedaling? It seems to make sense that oxygen would best be replenished at the same frequency it was depleted.<\/p>\n
Given a bicycle with [infinitely-variable transmission](http:\/\/www.fallbrooktech.com\/02_Demo.asp), might you find good results by matching your cadence to something like 1\/2 your heart rate, e.g. 90 rpm for a heart rate of 180?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
