Hey Athletica Community,
This week I have a testing week and the 20 min FTP test scheduled for today. When reviewing the protocol, i found a note that the AI has adjusted training load of the test by -12%. My question is: shouldn’t AI be locked out from any adjustments to test protocols? Common sense suggests that tests should be done to the same protocol, under as much similar conditions as possible every time, otherwise its results are not comparable with the future testing. I noticed specifically that the test includes only a short 30 sec all out burst during the warmup phase, which is different from the typical 5 min burst meant to deplete anaerobic capacity before the 20 min effort. See the screenshots attached.
I’ll appreciate your feedback!
PS: I would suggest to add a function which allows reviewing the original pre-AI-adjusted workouts for full transparency. Alternatively and specifically for the tests,
one should be able to add standard ftp / CP test from Workout Wizzard to the calendar to see the original structure of these tests.
