About The 30 Second Test
The 30 Second Test establishes several useful sprint metrics. Peak power and peak rpm, average power, and average rpm for the whole test. In addition, every 5 seconds is recorded to calculate a fatigue factor from the average power over the highest 5 seconds and the average power over the lowest 5 seconds.

About The 30 Second Test Duration
The Wattbike power metric reports full revolutions rather than being time based. Peak power is power over the single highest full revolution. You may notice in your test summary that the actual seconds recorded is fractions less than exactly 30 seconds. This is nothing to be concerned about and occurs when a partial revolution has occurred at the very beginning and/or at the very end of the test and is therefore discounted from the report. Within the data every 100th of a second is captured and all underlying data is retained.
