Functional Threshold Power (FTP) is the highest average power output a cyclist can sustain for approximately 60 minutes. It is the foundation of cycling training zones and the primary measure of competitive cycling performance.

Guide étape par étape

1. 1Standard FTP test: 20-minute all-out effort; FTP = 95% of 20-minute average power
2. 2Alternatively: 60-minute maximum effort (direct FTP)
3. 3Ramp test: 3-minute steps increasing by 20W; FTP ≈ 75% of peak 1-minute power
4. 4W/kg (watts per kg bodyweight) allows comparison between riders of different sizes
