eFTP or Zwift Ramp test results

Thats not a bad idea. I could also make the exponent used for the log scale configurable per activity.

Configurable exponent would be perfect!

Hello, what duration do you consider when modelling the CP curve with Morton’s 3P?
Do you think it is feasible to make the TTE of eFTP for the WKO fact?
Thank you in advance.

I don’t think the FTP ramp test on Zwift is the most accurate way to estimate FTP. Let’s also remember that FTP is not the sustainable power for an hour. Based on the tests I’ve been able to perform, it’s better to calculate FTP at 82.5% of the MAP in a ramp test. To do this, you would need to perform an incremental ramp test with a 10-minute warm-up at 100 watts, then increase by 25 watts every 150 seconds. Once you reach your limit and can’t go any further, immediately stop the recording. The MAP would be calculated with the final completed stage plus the percentage of the uncompleted ramp. The FTP would be 82.5% of the MAP. VO2max could be calculated from the MAP using the following formula: 0.01141*(MAP value) L/MIN + 0.435 L/MIN.
