I don't "train" as such, I just exercise for fun, so really - don't listen to my advice on this subject as I'm a complete numpty. I've never raced a bike and probably never will. However, I do find the numbers that I get back from the WB interesting, in a diverting kind of way.

One thing the WB tells me is that my pedalling is asymmetric. No surprise there: my left knee has had two major surgeries on it and I lost and had to rebuild a lot of the muscle on my left leg each time. The weird thing is that the WB tells me that my left (dodgy) leg is contributing more (~53%). Maybe all those years of lunges and squats and so on have swung the balance too far somehow.

Most people have some degree of asymmetry with regards to their power balance (3% is not abnormal).

Interestingly, or not depending on who you are or why you are thinking about it, this power balance may vary with intensity and fatigue, it is not necessarily a constant ratio.
