SummaryIn this episode of Fast Physiology, Dr. Phil Batterson and Dave S discuss the concept of Functional Threshold Power (FTP) and its misconceptions. They explore different methods of measuring FTP and the importance of training at appropriate intensities. They also discuss the variability of FTP and the need for context in testing. Overall, FTP is seen as a range rather than a fixed number, and training strategies should focus on increasing time at or close to the second threshold.Takeawa...
