What is AI FTP Detection?

In cycling, Functional Threshold Power (FTP) is a key metric that helps determine your on the bike fitness. Historically, finding your FTP often required lengthy or all-out tests that could be stressful and could skew results if you had an “off day.”

TrainerRoad’s AI FTP Detection eliminates the need for these dedicated test sessions. Instead, it analyzes your recent workouts, performance history, and power data to deliver a constantly updated FTP estimate that reflects your real capabilities.

1. Accurate, Stress-Free FTP Updates
   • Skipping all-out test days doesn’t just save mental energy; it also provides an FTP estimate that’s more representative of your recent workouts.

2. More Time for Productive Training
   • Every hour spent on a max-effort FTP test is an hour you could spend moving your fitness forward.
   • With AI FTP Detection, you can keep training consistently without dedicating a day to testing—and potentially disrupting your training block.
     
3. Consistent Progress
   • A single poor test result won’t throw your training off course. AI FTP Detection regularly updates your FTP based on real-world data, so each workout is always at the right intensity. This helps you push your limits safely, adapt effectively, and see better results over time.
     
4. Mental Relief
   • Knowing your FTP updates without the drama of test day can remove a huge mental hurdle.
