8. minute fitness test The Newton 20 minute fitness test is similar to a time trial just shorter in time To estimate your FTP from the Newton fitness test take the watts per kilogram number shown in your FIT TEST screen multiply that number by your weight in kilograms then multiply that number by 0 95 For example if your W KG measurement is 3 02 and your weight is 81KG then your estimated FTP is 3 02 81 95 233W Once you have determined your FTP number from either method you must enter that value into the Newton Go to Setup FTP CFG FTP Configuration Click the center button then use the arrows to enter your FTP in watts Click the center button to Accept If you re training regularly you ll want to check your FTP about once a month Normalized Power NP Have you ever participated in a group ride where your watts are never steady Group rides can be very difficult but afterwards you might suspect that your average watts don t accurately reflect how difficult the ride was The disparity between measured and perceived effort is due to coasting surging using brakes and soft pedaling In fact your average watts will be lower than your perceived effort suggests This is where Normalized Power NP comes in NP takes your raw power data and gives you a related power measurement number reported in watts that better represents the tax on your body for the ride especially when you re varying your power output considerably

ESS TEST FTP TEST Your Newton includes a built in power based fitness test that measures your cycling fitness It is a very simple test you ride as hard as you can for 20 minutes Then the Newton computes the average watts you held during the test divided by your body weight in KG This Watts per kilogram ratio is a simple and critical measure of cycling fitness Simply put the higher your watts per kilogram the more fit you are and the faster you ll go Also the average watts held during the Fitness Test times the multiplier of 0 95 is an excellent measure of your Functional Threshold Power FTP FTP is used by most experts as a key measure of your overall aerobic limit and cycling fitness The Newton firmware includes a table developed by professional racer and noted cycling coach Boyd Johnson that interprets your W KG score as a fitness level from one to ten Your fitness level is based on your W KG measurement and your sex Here is the table that is loaded into the Newton firmware Fitness Level w kg male w kg female 0 1 5 2 01 2 45 1 51 2 08 2 09 2 4 2 81 3 46 2 41 2 94 3 47 3 8 2 95 3 23 3 81 4 25 3 24 3 62 4 26 4 82 3 62 4 1 5 28 5 75 4 49 4 86 So for example if you are male and your 20 minute test returns a W KG measurement of 2 48 then your fitness level is 3 the female would score a higher fitness level of A for the same W KG result 8 482527 EET What can you do with this test Three
