The Functional Threshold Power test measures power by measuring the average Wattage an individual can produce on a static bike.

Equipment Required: Indoor cycling bike with Watts measurement, stopwatch

Procedure:

1. Participant performs a short warm-up following a RAMP protocol.
2. Participant sets the timer for 20 minutes, then begins to pedal at a challenging yet sustainable pace on the static bike, and continues to do so until the 20 minute time limit elapses.
3. Participant stops pedalling, and identifies their average Watts on the screen of the bike. The participant then multiplies this number by 0.95 to yield their estimated Functional Threshold Power.
4. Participant inputs their FTP score into SharedGoals.
