Cadence (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (672 words)
An analogy can be made with punctuation, with some weaker cadences acting as commas, indicating a pause or momentary rest, while a stronger cadence will then act as the period, indicating the end of the phrase or musical sentence.
Cadences are called "weak" or "strong" the more or less final the sensation they create, with the perfect authentic cadence being the strongest type.
A masculine cadence occurs on a strong position, typically the downbeat of a measure.
Cycling Science - Summer 1996 - What Determines The Optimal Cadence? (4897 words)
Lollgen et al (1975) manipulated cadence from 40 to 100 rpm at power outputs of 50, 100, 150, and 200 W and found perceived exertion in trained and untrained subjects decreased with increases in cadence such that it was minimized at approximately 80 to 100 rpm.
Therefore, cadences in the middle of the range tested appeared to result in acceptable levels of effort for well-trained, experienced cyclists and well-trained noncyclists, whereas cadences at the extremes of the range would likely be avoided.
The optimal cadence, defined as that which minimized the sum of the 12 muscle stresses, was found to be 95 to 100 rpm (Figure 5).
