Il glossario, spiegato senza cazzate
Termini di ciclismo e corsa - FTP, CTL, TSS, sweet spot, Zona 2 - spiegati in modo semplice, con cosa significano e come usarli.
Power
CP (Critical Power)
The highest power you can sustain indefinitely from aerobic metabolism alone.
Scopri di piùFTP (Functional Threshold Power)
The highest power, in watts, you can sustain for roughly an hour.
Scopri di piùNP (Normalized Power)
A weighted average of power that reflects the physiological cost of a variable-intensity ride.
Scopri di piùSweet Spot
Training intensity at roughly 88–94% of FTP — high productivity per unit of fatigue.
Scopri di piùThreshold
Intensity at or around FTP/LTHR — the boundary between sustainable and unsustainable effort.
Scopri di piùVO2 max
The maximum volume of oxygen your body can consume and use during intense exercise.
Scopri di piùW' (W-prime)
The amount of work, in kilojoules, you can do above Critical Power before exhaustion.
Scopri di piùHeart rate
Training load
ATL (Acute Training Load)
A 7-day weighted average of your daily training stress — a proxy for fatigue.
Scopri di piùCTL (Chronic Training Load)
A 42-day weighted average of your daily training stress — a proxy for fitness.
Scopri di piùIF (Intensity Factor)
A workout's Normalized Power divided by your FTP — a simple measure of how hard the ride was relative to threshold.
Scopri di piùTSB (Training Stress Balance)
CTL minus ATL — a single number that estimates how fresh or fatigued you are.
Scopri di piùTSS (Training Stress Score)
A single number summarizing how much physiological stress a workout produced, scaled to FTP.
Scopri di piùPace & effort
Cadence
How many times your legs complete a full pedal stroke per minute (cycling) or steps per minute (running).
Scopri di piùNegative split
Completing the second half of an effort or race faster than the first.
Scopri di piùZone 2
Easy endurance riding at 55–75% of FTP — the foundation of aerobic fitness.
