COACH BY COLOR® TRAINING CONCEPT
The 5 color zones used by ICG (white, blue, green, yellow, red) can be used based on the power
(watts) of every user of the bike. The training zones are based on the current power in relation
to the individual FTP (Functional Threshold Power®) value. The same principle of calculating
training zones applies when using the maximum heart rate (HR max) and an analogue POLAR®,
Bluetooth® or ANT+® compatible chest belt. As soon as the max HR or the individual FTP value are
known, the personal training zones can be worked out accordingly and in doing so the intensity
can be displayed by the colors during the training session based on the heart rate or watts.
Using the FTP power test (ramp test integrated into the computer), the user has the option to
monitor both current performance and progress.
CAUTION
The power test should only be carried out under the supervision and guidance of a qualified
Instructor or Trainer.
In both Power Training and Heart Rate Training the user has the option to turn off the Coach By
Color® Training Guidance by selecting Color Mode OFF if he/she wishes.
