FTW (POWER) TEST

The FTW (power) test makes it possible to determine a user's individual FTW value in an
evaluation test, or to monitor the workout progress.
The test is designed as a so-called "ramp test". As soon as the test is started, a target value of 75
watts (+/- 10%) is specified. The user taking the test is now requested to maintain a constant
and comfortable cadence of between 70 and 90 RPM throughout the entire test and to turn the
resistance dial to set the resistance so that the target value is achieved.
The target value must be reached within a window of max +/- 10% deviation, otherwise the
display lighting changes to red. If the target value is met, the background lighting changes to
green. The target value increases every 4 minutes by 25 watts. The test can be ended at any time.
After the first target value is reached after 4 minutes (75 watts for 4 minutes), the result is shown
after ending the test. If it is interrupted beforehand, the test fails.
Please note that only fully completed ramps (4 minutes) are taken into consideration for the test
results.
CAUTION
• The integrated FTW (power) test in the form of a 4 minute "ramp test" represents a
subjective test, which the user can end at any point.
• The FTW (power) test should only be carried out under the supervision of a qualified
and experienced trainer or instructor.
• It is recommended to constantly monitor the heart rate during the test, in order
to control the physical exertion caused by the output power. Over-exertion must
under no circumstances take place.
• Please also take note of the Medical Disclaimer.
