If there is a popular term in the cycling world, it is undoubtedly FTP<\/a><\/strong> (Functional Threshold Power). This refers to the highest average power range -expressed in watts- that a cyclist can develop during one hour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This FTP is an element or data that is very important in the cycling world mainly for several reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n No. As we have already mentioned, the FPT is a reliable indicator of our fitness level. In other words, it varies according to our physical condition. What does this mean? The fitter we are, the higher our FTP should be<\/strong>. Or vice versa, the higher our FTP, the fitter we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The point is that, in theory, the fitter we are, the greater our ability to sustain high power for the same amount of time. If our fitness declines, the opposite will happen: the FTP will be lower because we will no longer be able to sustain a particular power range for a certain period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIs my FTP always the same?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
