We aimed to determine the concurrent validity of the novel Favero Assioma Duo (FAD) pedal power meter compared with the crank-based SRM system (considered as gold standard). Thirty-three well-trained male cyclists were assessed at different power output (PO) levels (100\u2013500 W and all-out 15-s sprints), pedaling cadences (75\u2013100 rpm) and cycling positions (seating and standing) to compare the FAD device vs. SRM. No significant differences were found between devices for cadence nor for PO during all-out efforts (p &gt; 0.05), although significant but small differences were found for efforts at lower PO values (p &lt; 0.05 for 100\u2013500 W, mean bias 3\u20138 W). A strong agreement was observed between both devices for mean cadence (ICC &gt; 0.87) and PO values (ICC &gt; 0.81) recorded in essentially all conditions and for peak cadence (ICC &gt; 0.98) and peak PO (ICC &gt; 0.99) during all-out efforts. The coefficient of variation for PO values was consistently lower than 3%. In conclusion, the FAD pedal-based power meter can be considered an overall valid system to record PO and cadence during cycling, although it might present a small bias compared with power meters placed on other locations such as SRM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21072277","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,24]],"date-time":"2021-03-24T21:36:51Z","timestamp":1616621811000},"page":"2277","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Validity of the Favero Assioma Duo Power Pedal System for Measuring Power Output and Cadence"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6138-945X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Almudena","family":"Montalvo-P\u00e9rez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, Universidad Europea de Madrid, 28640 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6347-1369","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lidia B.","family":"Alejo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, Universidad Europea de Madrid, 28640 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Hospital 12 de Octubre (imas12), 28041 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1730-3369","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pedro L.","family":"Valenzuela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, Universidad Europea de Madrid, 28640 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Sport and Health, Spanish Agency for Health Protection in Sport (AEPSAD), 28016 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Castellanos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, Universidad Europea de Madrid, 28640 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jaime","family":"Gil-Cabrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, Universidad Europea de Madrid, 28640 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eduardo","family":"Talavera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, Universidad Europea de Madrid, 28640 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alejandro","family":"Lucia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, Universidad Europea de Madrid, 28640 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Hospital 12 de Octubre (imas12), 28041 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4869-5900","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Barranco-Gil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, Universidad Europea de Madrid, 28640 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1023","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2016-0436","article-title":"Validity, Sensitivity, Reproducibility, and Robustness of the PowerTap, Stages, and Garmin Vector Power Meters in Comparison with the SRM Device","volume":"12","author":"Bouillod","year":"2017","journal-title":"Int.
