The Reliability of 4-Minute and 20-Minute Time Trials and Their Relationships to Functional Threshold Power in Trained Cyclists.
Abstract
PURPOSE: The mean power output (MPO) from a 60-min time trial (TT)-also known as functional threshold power, or FTP-is a standard measure of cycling performance; however, shorter performance tests are desirable to reduce the burden of performance testing. The authors sought to determine the reliability of 4- and 20-min TTs and the extent to which these short TTs were associated with 60-min MPO.
METHODS: Trained male cyclists (n = 8; age = 25 …
