Measuring Your FTP

Ride for 20 minutes to measure the output you can maintain for one hour (FTP
<Functional Threshold Power>).
This device sets a power value of 95% of the measurement result as your current
FTP.
Note
! The value set in [Settings] > [User Settings] > [FTP] or the value of the
analysis result of Cyclo-Sphere is set as the initial value for the FTP.

Description
Enter the name of this training menu.
Set the warm-up time.
Set the time for performing an interval after the warm-up.
Set the target power value (target output value) for per-
forming an interval.
Set an escalation value when you want a training menu
for which the target power value of the next interval is
higher than that of the previous interval.
(For example, if you wish the interval power to be 200
W in interval segment 1, and then to increase by 5 W for
every next interval segment after that, set this to 5 W.)
Set the time for taking a rest between the previous inter-
val and next interval.
Set the target power value (target output value) for taking
a rest.
Set the number of interval segments to include.
If the number of intervals is set to only 1, the settings of
[Rest Time] and [Rest Target] will be disabled because
there will no longer be a rest.
Set the cool down time.
