Garmin FENIX 6 PRO Series User Manual

Conducting an FTP Test
Before you can conduct a test to determine your functional threshold power (FTP), you must pair a chest heart
rate monitor and a power meter with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page100), and you must get
your VO2 max. estimate (Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Cycling, page40).
NOTE: The FTP test is a challenging workout that takes about 30 minutes to complete. Choose a practical and
mostly flat route that allows you to ride at a steadily increasing effort, similar to a time trial.
1 From the watch face, select .
2 Select a cycling activity.
3 Hold MENU.
4 Select Training > FTP Guided Test.
5 Follow the on-screen instructions.
After you begin your ride, the device displays each step duration, the target, and current power data. A
message appears when the test is complete.
6 After you complete the guided test, complete the cool down, stop the timer, and save the activity.
Your FTP appears as a value measured in watts per kilogram, your power output in watts, and a position on
the color gauge.
7 Select an option:
• Select Accept to save the new FTP.
• Select Decline to keep your current FTP.
Training Status
These measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities. The
measurements require a few activities using wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor.
Cycling performance measurements require a heart rate monitor and a power meter.
These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat Analytics. For more information, go to garmin.com
/performance-data/running.
NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The watch requires you to complete a few activities to learn
about your performance.
Training status: Training status shows you how your training affects your fitness and performance. Your
training status is based on changes to your VO2 max., acute load, and HRV status over an extended time
period.
VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram
of body weight at your maximum performance (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page39). Your watch displays
heat and altitude corrected VO2 max. values when you are acclimating to high heat environments or high
altitude (Heat and Altitude Performance Acclimation, page48).
