FTP Zones for Android

11 things about FTP Zones

1. The app can calculate your FTP from your average power over the test period (your bike must have a display which shows this information).

2. FTP Zones allows you to quickly calculate the power corresponding to a specific percentage of your Functional Threshold Power (FTP).

3. Training sessions or group exercise classes at the gym are often structured into different stages of effort measured as a percentage of your FTP: longer, lower effort stages punctuated by shorter bursts of higher energy.

4. Working at a percentage of FTP instead of a specific power is a great way to tailor a workout to your own level of fitness.

5. Alternatively, calculate the average power required to achieve a particular FTP test result.

6. During structured workouts, adjust the percentage and the app shows the target power for that stage.

7. FTP Zones has a big, bold user interface to make it easier to make adjustments and see the target power during your workout.

8. Your FTP is the maximum average power that you could sustain for one hour.

9. If you don't know your FTP or want to measure improvements over time, use the app to take a 1, 3, 5 or 20 minute test.

10. It is a common benchmark used by cyclists to determine fitness levels.
