FTP Calculation

Your FTP is 95% of the average power over the 20-minute test

The FTP (Functional Threshold Power) test is the standard method for determining your power threshold and setting training zones. When done correctly, it allows you to:

  • Accurately calculate your personalised power zones
  • Track progress over time (repeat the test every 4-6 weeks)
  • Set targeted workouts based on your current fitness
  • Compare your results with athletes at your level

Tips: Perform the test after a rest day, well hydrated and with a light meal 2-3 hours before. Use a calibrated power meter and a consistent course.
