Features
What is the purpose of the Technogym FTP test?

The purpose of the Technogym FTP test is to calculate your FTP threshold.Knowing your FTP is extremely fundamental, as it can accurately assess your current level of athlete. The core of the test is structured in a 20 min time trial. You will be asked to maintain a pace of about 75% of your power for the first 16 minutes, and then give it your all for the last 4 minutes. Before doing your test, it is advisable to warm up for at least 10 minutes, while at the same time, at the end of your test, we suggest you to do a 10 minutes cooldown. This will maximize your overall performance and will let you pass the test without any kind of injury. Please keep in mind that the original FTP protocol developed by Allen & Coggan would require one hour and a half to perform the entire procedure, with all the warmup and cooldown. Considering that the test should be taken within a class context we decided to reduce the timing of the warmup and cooldown to stay within a 45-minute threshold.
