DEFINITION
TERMS & ABBREVIATIONS
COACH BY COLOR® (CBC)
Power-orientated (WattRate®) or heart rate oriented training guidance based
on individual user settings by training zones depicted in color.
WATT
Unit of power which is calculated based on the time during which the work is done. The
calculation is carried out using the formula: Watts = force x speed. With respect to cycling this means:
Watts = the pressure applied by the cyclist to the pedal /traction x peddling frequency/cadence.
In Indoor Cycling, the power rendered is regulated using the resistance dial. The speed is regulated by the cadence.
WATTRATE®
Direct measurement of the power rendered by the cyclist in real time.
FTP
Functional Threshold Power®, also termed FTP Index. Power delivered in Watts to the functional
threshold power (FTP = 100% corresponds to the aerobic/anaerobic power threshold)
FTP%
Functional Threshold Power® in per cent. Information on the current power with respect to the
FTP value in per cent FTP% = (current power in Watts / FTP) x 100
RPM
Revolutions Per Minute, Cadence, pedaling frequency (PFQ), Revolutions Per Minute (R/min)
HR
Heart Rate
HR MAX %
Information on the current heart rate with respect to the maximum heart rate in percent
HR MAX % = (current HR / HR max) x 100
BPM
Beats per Minute
In this manual, this relates to the heart rate of the user.
LIPO
LiPo = Lithium-Polymer battery. A rechargeable battery with a high energy density
TSS®
Training Stress Score allows an endurance athlete the ability to quantify their workouts based on
their relative intensity, duration, and frequency of workouts.
IF®
Intensity factor is an indication of how hard or difficult a ride was in relation to your overall fitness
EFFORT POINTS
are calculated for your workout depending on the amount of time you ride in the individual
training zones. They are displayed in the upper left hand corner of the LCD display during a power or heart
rate training and the accumulated effort points may also be displayed during Connect workouts.
GIVEN POINTS FOR 1 MINUTE OF RIDING IN EACH ZONE:
1 EFFORT POINT
0-55% of your FTP / 50 – 59% of your HRM
2 EFFORT POINTS
56-75% of your FTP / 60 - 69% of your HRM
3 EFFORT POINTS
76-90% of your FTP / 70 – 79% of your HRM
4 EFFORT POINTS
91-105% of your FTP / 80 – 89% of your HRM
5 EFFORT POINTS
106-120% of your FTP / 90 - 95% of your HRM
5.5 EFFORT POINTS
121- +150% of your FTP / 96 – 100% of your HRM
