French term

rendement de l'effort

French to English Marketing Sports / Fitness / Recreation bicycle design
I am having a bit of trouble finding the accepted term for this (efficiency?performance?)
My text describes the advantages of the latest high-tech bicycles:

....optimise le rendement de l’effort pour une meilleure transformation de l’énergie en travail au service de la vitesse,

designed, I presume, to make the cyclist's exertions more productive!
Proposed translations (English)
3 +2 energy efficiency
4 ROE: return on effort
4 effort performance

I have found on a biker website mention of "pedaling efficiency' which seems to refer to the same idea. Yes?

energy efficiency

Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : You'd have to find a way to avoid repeating "energy", so you could say "optimise their energy efficiency, to provide more speed for less effort".

French term (edited): rendement de l'effort

ROE: return on effort

Less daunting than: no pain, no gain.

Return on effort, as witnessed by the Scottish sprinters of old - both amateur and, controversially, professional.

Example sentence:

There are 3 aspects to this calculation, of which two are usually ignored.
