FTP CFG (Functional Threshold Power Configuration)
•
Functional Threshold Power is another specialized measurement of interest to advanced
cyclists. FTP is described on pages 45-47.
There are two ways your functional threshold power can be determined:
1) By direct measurement in a 1 hour test
2) By estimate, based on the 20 minute Newton+ Fitness Test
If a Newton+ Fitness Test is performed then FTP = avg. watts from 20 minute test * 0.95
IMPORTANT: WHENEVER YOU DO A NEWTON+ FITNESS TEST, YOUR ESTIMATED FTP
WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY COMPUTED AND STORED.
If you have measured your FTP by some other means, you can override the results of the
Newton+ Fitness Test and enter your FTP directly
IMPORTANT: IF YOU ENTER YOUR FTP DIRECTLY, YOUR NEWTON+ FITNESS TEST WILL
BE UPDATED. YOUR W/KG SCORE AND YOUR FITNESS LEVEL WILL CORRESPOND TO
YOUR FTP RESULT
You can see, and change, your FTP number as follows:
1) Go to Setup/RACR YES/FTP CFG.
2) Click the center button; the bottom screen flashes and shows your current value of
FTP. If you've done a Fitness Test, the FTP is based on the Fitness Test. If you
haven't done a fitness test, a default value o 0001 (1Watt) will be shown
3) If you wish to change the FTP number do so
4) To accept your choice or exit the item, click the center button to accept. "done"
