Test results

The test summary shows your FTP value which shows power in watts, your maximum heart rate and your maximal oxygen
uptake known as VO2max. You can view your latest result in
Tests > Cycling test > Latest
result.
Dividing FTP with a cyclist's weight produces a comparable value, called power-to-weight ratio- which can be compared
with other cyclists of the same sex. The more power you can produce in your current weight, the better your power-to-
weight ratio is. This reflects your aerobic fitness. We use a simplified, 8-tiered result table ranging from untrained to world-
class when giving you feedback based on your power-to-weight ratio.
In your first test, the result is compared with other cyclists of the same sex as you. When you repeat the test, the result is
compared to your previous test results and test feedback is also based on them.
If you want to use the Cycling Performance Test to track your progress and help you choose the right training intensities,
we recommend that you repeat the maximal test every three months to ensure that your training zones are always up to
date.
