Anyone try turning off the ERG Power Smoothing?

Training
11

Can anyone give a good explanation of:

  1. What power smoothing in the Wahoo app actually does
  2. What Power Smoothing in the TR app does
  3. What happens if both are turned on
  4. What to expect if both are turned off

For example, if I’m doing a TR workout, what will be different under each of the 4 scenarios?

I should add that for 1), I’ve watched the GP Lama video. Since it’s on by default, I must have always had it on, but I don’t see the kind of smoothing in the TR app that is in the video. I use Stages with Powermatch, so it makes sense to me that whether I have Kickr smoothing on or not would make no difference in TR since it’s Stages that is reporting the data. I’ve tried different TR smoothing settings, but honestly I don’t notice any difference. There are two places smoothing could occur; the number that’s being reported on the screen and the chart of your power line. It’s possible it’s just the number that’s smoothed and not the line - but wondering if anyone has a definitive answer to this.
