How It Works

Calculate critical power and W' (anaerobic work capacity) using the hyperbolic power-duration model. Predict performance over any duration from 2 to 60 minutes

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Hyperbolic power-duration model — The hyperbolic power-duration model recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the critical power model result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the hyperbolic power-duration model for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate critical power and W' (anaerobic work capacity) using the hyperbolic power-duration model. Predict performance over any duration from 2 to 60 minutes. Use the critical power model result to inform your calculation.
