About this calculator
W/kg = FTP (watts) ÷ Body weight (kg)
FTP (Functional Threshold Power) represents the highest average power you can sustain for approximately one hour.
The benchmark categories are based on widely-used cycling classification standards.
Male and female ranges reflect physiological differences in typical power output at elite levels.
