The Sport Factory Watts To Weight Competition

Watts To Weight Competition

Without a doubt, your power to weight ratio is the most critical metric in relation to cycling performance. Our "Watts to Weight" competition is a means of gauging improvement as well as staying "honest" with those calories through the base season.

Rules...

Athlete is weighed in and performs a 20 min. Functional Threshold Power Test. Athlete will receive a print out of the results that indicates the following...
- Power to weight ratio
- Lactate threshold heart rate
- Heart rate training zones
- Functional Threshold Power
At the end of a 12 week period athlete is again weighed in and any weight loss / gain is calculated. They perform a second FTP test and % of improvement in P/W ratio is calculated.
Winner is the athlete that has the most improvement. Note that improvement can be gained by weight loss as well as power gain!
