PM5 Force Curve Analysis
PM5 force curve analysis uses the monitor power curve to diagnose erg stroke efficiency—shape and area matter more than peak height alone.
PM5 force curve analysis reads the power curve display on Concept2 monitors—peak shape, area, and smoothness show whether legs, back, and arms contribute efficiently. A sharp narrow peak can mean rushed legs; a flat wide curve often signals better connection.
Compare curves at steady watts, not max sprints only.
Common questions
-
What is a good force curve on the erg?
Smooth rounded curves with sustained area—not jagged spikes—usually mean connected leg drive and relaxed recovery; film technique if curves look jagged at easy watts.
