Termos de ciclismo e corrida - FTP, CTL, TSS, sweet spot, Zona 2 - explicados sem rodeios, com o que significam e como usar.
Power
CP (Critical Power)
The highest power you can sustain indefinitely from aerobic metabolism alone.
Leia maisFTP (Functional Threshold Power)
The highest power, in watts, you can sustain for roughly an hour.
Leia maisNP (Normalized Power)
A weighted average of power that reflects the physiological cost of a variable-intensity ride.
Leia maisSweet Spot
Training intensity at roughly 88–94% of FTP — high productivity per unit of fatigue.
Leia maisThreshold
Intensity at or around FTP/LTHR — the boundary between sustainable and unsustainable effort.
Leia maisVO2 max
The maximum volume of oxygen your body can consume and use during intense exercise.
Leia maisW' (W-prime)
The amount of work, in kilojoules, you can do above Critical Power before exhaustion.
Leia maisHeart rate
Training load
ATL (Acute Training Load)
A 7-day weighted average of your daily training stress — a proxy for fatigue.
Leia maisCTL (Chronic Training Load)
A 42-day weighted average of your daily training stress — a proxy for fitness.
Leia maisIF (Intensity Factor)
A workout's Normalized Power divided by your FTP — a simple measure of how hard the ride was relative to threshold.
Leia maisTSB (Training Stress Balance)
CTL minus ATL — a single number that estimates how fresh or fatigued you are.
Leia maisTSS (Training Stress Score)
A single number summarizing how much physiological stress a workout produced, scaled to FTP.
Leia maisPace & effort
Cadence
How many times your legs complete a full pedal stroke per minute (cycling) or steps per minute (running).
Leia maisNegative split
Completing the second half of an effort or race faster than the first.
Leia maisZone 2
Easy endurance riding at 55–75% of FTP — the foundation of aerobic fitness.
