	<onlyinclude>'''Horsepower''' is a [[units\|unit]] of [[power]]. Power describes how fast energy is exchanged; a use of energy divided by how long it takes to use that energy. Therefore the measurement of horsepower refers to what the sustained output of an engine is. The term horsepower was invented by James Watt, who made significant improvements to the steam engine.</onlyinclude>		<onlyinclude>'''Horsepower''' is a [[units\|unit]] of [[power]].

	Although it may seem safe to assume that one horsepower is the output a horse is capable of creating at any one time, that is incorrect. In fact, the maximum output of a horse can be up to 15 horsepower,<ref name=medlock>Chelsea Medlock. (2007).

For extreme athletes, this output can be even higher with Tour de France riders outputting around 1.2 horsepower for around 15 seconds, and just under 0.9 horsepower for a minute.<ref>The Science of Sport.
