KW Cycling Academy - Fitness Testing

Protocols: Things to remember:

  • Rest the day before the test!
  • Good nights sleep before the test!
  • Eat normally until 2-3 hours before the test!
  • Check all electrical connections the day before!
  • Pump-up tires to 100 pounds!
  • Calibrate your trainer ahead of time if possible!
  • Relax and don’t think! Just focus on the task at hand!

As part of a well rounded training program, periodic Threshold testing in recommended a couple of time per year. FTP (Funtional Threshold Power) is an excellent indicator if the Training a young athlete has completed is actually improving the fitness, strength and speed endurance.
