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.

With BODY BIKE® Indoor Cycling App version 2.2.7, you can estimate your FTP (Functional Threshold Power) — the highest average power (in watts) you can sustain for an hour.
