Power curve and mean maximum values

Power curve and mean maximum values

The performance curve shows you the maximum average values for the selected zone type in chronological order.

Example: 1m at 270 watts is the maximum wattage you have maintained for one minute.

Determining training type

With a glance at the heart rate, wattage, pace or cadence curve, you can find out which category the training belongs to.

Examples:

  • Interval training with warm-up phase has very high maximum values in the shorter time ranges.
  • A tempo training has high maximum values in all time ranges.
  • A light long workout has low values in all time ranges.
  • A cadence curve with very high short, high medium and low long values is typical of a profiled trail run.

Approximate Maximum Heart Rate, FTPa or FTP

With the performance curve you can approach your FTPa and FTP after a high-intensity competition over 60 minutes, or find your maximum heart rate.

  • Maximum heart rate -> HR5s
  • Functional Threshold Pace (FTPa) -> PA60
  • Functional Threshold Power (FTP) -> P60

As it is not advisable to simulate a competition during training for testing reasons, there are different variants of lower-effort performance tests to discover the three above-mentioned values. The performance curve will help you here as well.

The records overview in the analysis shows you the maximum values of your training over a certain period of time.

Remove incorrect values

If incorrect readings are displayed as a record in the analysis, you can deactivate the corresponding training on the training page to remove it from the analysis.
