Best session is the session with the highest average power of all sessions per participant. OffMotor is the time in minutes per session biked without motor support, i.e. with FES-produced or voluntary muscle contraction. Underlined values indicate a session including interval training with fast passive cycling, therefore OffMotor time is only fraction of total time, and velocity gives low and high RPM used.
