Abstract
The method involves a step of measurement of a bearing force (Fp) on a pedal () of the pedal set (), different from the useful effort, exerted by the individual during a pedalling cycle, a step of determination of a maximum (max(Fp)) of the bearing force measured during the pedalling cycle (CP), and a step of estimation of a mean useful effort exerted by the individual during said pedalling cycle from the maximum of the bearing force determined and with the aid of a predetermined correlation function between a maximum bearing force during a pedalling cycle and a mean useful effort in said cycle.
