Cycling Efficiency

The physiological assessment I undertook recently measured my "Cycling Efficiency".

This is a figure representing how much oxygen is required to generate power. It is measured in ml/min (of oxygen) per watt. 

The lower the figure the better.

Mine was around 11.3 at 200W (my power just before lactate threshold). 

This is rated as typical for club athletes, for pros it will be below 10.

Since this is the first time I have had this test not sure about how this will change with training. Will be interesting to see what happens.
