Kind of a disheartening thing for me to read, as something I have been working on in my trainer sessions this offseason is boosting my natural cadence.
It's useless.

What is a "recreational cyclist"?

If a high cadence is useful for "professional" cyclists, it might be useful for people who ride a lot. The study doesn't get anywhere near providing that information.

It shouldn't be surprising that a high cadence isn't useful for "casual" cyclists.
