FTP stands for Functional Threshold Power, which is defined as the highest average power you can sustain for approximately an hour, measured in watts. FTP is one of the most common training metrics used in cycling. It is often used by coaches as a benchmark metric to determine training zones when using a power meter.Most of the latest training apps also use FTP to set workouts and training plans when using a smart trainer. In order to accurately measure your FTP, Zwift will repeat two rounds of the FTP test with different simulations.During both FTP tests, Zwift will guide you through warm-up intervals before riding at a challenging effort level for 20 minutes, then finish off with a cooldown block.Your final FTP score is derived from 95% of the average power exerted during the two 20-minute tests. We use Wahoo smart trainers to perform all our FTP tests, together with the Inside Ride mounting system where your bike frame will not be stressed during your maximum power output. We also subscribe to the Zwift software for your FTP test so that you don't have to set up or purchase it. In short, let us do the work and you can come and find out more about your cycling metrics! Water will be provided as well. *Important note: Participants please fill up this PAR-Q form prior to booking their FTP session. *Clients are required to bring their own bikes for the FTP test.
