Power Match seems OK but not great - tips and tricks I'm missing?

I don’t believe it is directly factored. Indirectly, for sure. Power Match does what it sounds like, TR is telling your trainer to take and match the power reading from your power meter. So, if your Power Meter is giving crazy readings, your trainer will go crazy trying to track to it because of ERG. Cadence has a direct effect on power reading, since power is cadence times work. If cadence rises or falls and work stays constant, your power will track to your cadence. ERG will then register the increase in power and let off resistance to track to target power. So, you can indirectly relate cadence to your trainer making adjustments due to its influence on power readings.
