Data was fit for durations in the range of 6 seconds to 60,000 seconds. Fits are modeled at: AeroSandbox/studies/HumanPower Data Source: Bicycling Science by D. Wilson, 2004. Figure 2.4. Wilson is aggregating many data sources here. The raw data pulls from a variety of sources: * NASA SP-3006, 1964 * U.K. amateur trials and time-trials records (Whitt, F.R. 1971 "A note on the estimation of the energy expenditure of sporting cyclists." Ergonomics 14) * Wilsons' own analyses Weight estimates for tests subjects are unfortunately not given. :param duration: Time to sustain power output [seconds] :param dataset: Dataset to pull from. A string that is one of the following: "Healthy Men", "First-Class Athletes", "World-Class Athletes", :return: Sustainable power output for the specified duration [W]
