Cycling adopts a new “compound score” to gauge rider performance
The traditional watts‑per‑kilogram (W/kg) metric is being questioned after research showed it poorly predicts race outcomes. Researchers introduced a compound score that blends absolute power output with relative power, and teams such as Red Bull‑Bora‑Hansgrohe have begun using it for scouting and talent evaluation.
Jetts Fitness India’s Managing Director Rahull Raghuvanshii says the Indian fitness market is moving away from weight‑loss‑only goals toward a holistic model that blends strength training, recovery science and mindset work. The change is driven by consumer demand for functional performance, data‑backed coaching and community‑focused experiences.
