    How this calculator works

    FTP is estimated by applying the standard correction factor for your chosen test to the power you entered: 95% of a 20-minute average, 75% of the best minute in a ramp test, 90% of an 8-minute average, or 100% of a 60-minute average.

    Assumptions

    • • A genuine maximal effort for the chosen test
    • • Standard test-to-FTP correction factors

    Limitations

    • • Field tests vary with pacing, fatigue, and conditions
    • • Retest every 6-8 weeks as fitness changes

    Who this is for

    • • Cyclists and triathletes setting power zones
    • • Athletes who just completed an FTP test
    • • Anyone planning a power-based training block

    Who this is not for

    • • Estimating FTP without any test data
    • • Replacing a lab lactate-threshold test
