Coggan Report

The Coggan Report analyzes factors that influence a cyclist's performance and training. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how different intensities of exercise affect endurance and power output. The report introduces concepts like Functional Threshold Power (FTP), which is the maximum effort sustainable for about an hour, and breaks down training zones to optimize performance. Essentially, it provides guidelines on how cyclists can structure their training to improve stamina, strength, and speed efficiently, using measurable data to tailor efforts for better results.
