What is the 5-minute FTP test on the BODY BIKE App and how does it work?

A person’s FTP (Functional Threshold Power) value can be determined through various tests of different lengths. With the release of BODY BIKE® Indoor Cycling App version 1.5.3, a 5-minute FTP test is now available.

About the 5-Minute FTP Test:

  • The test runs for 5 minutes and will automatically end when the time is up.
  • After the test, your FTP value will be displayed on the screen.
  • To apply your new FTP value, simply press the “Use FTP” button. This will update your Personal Settings with the new value.

Tips for Accurate Results:

  • Warm-up properly before starting the test.
  • Maintain the highest average watts possible by adjusting your cadence and/or resistance throughout the test.
  • Pace yourself to ensure you can complete the full 5 minutes.
