Why is threshold FTP so important?
Lactate threshold (FTP) or Functional Threshold Power is defined as the intensity of exercise at which lactate begins to accumulate in the blood at a faster rate than it can be removed. This causes the body to generate " muscle energy" inefficiently, and we can only sustain this state for a short amount of time.
The advantage of having a high lactate threshold is that you can operate at a higher intensity for a longer time, and therefore achieve higher performance.
-
