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 work is done. The calculation is carried out using the formula: Power (measured in Watts) = force x speed.

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 relates to the heart rate of the user in this manual.

TSS®

TSS® allows an endurance athlete the ability to quantify their workouts based on their relative intensity, duration, and frequency of workouts.

IF®

IF® is an indication of how hard or difficult a ride was in relation to your overall fitness.

EFFORT POINTS

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:
