Add critical power as a standard for determining metabolic training zones, just as already exists for FTP.
Adopting Critical Power as the standard for defining metabolic zones is justified by its superiority in delineating the true boundary between physiological equilibrium and fatigue accumulation, the mathematical robustness provided by the W' parameter, and greater test stability compared to the traditional 20-minute protocol. Far from rendering FTP obsolete, this standardization incorporates it as a derived reference, enabling training that is more precise, individualized, and scientifically aligned with current models of fatigue and performance.
