At the core of training load tracking is the ability to set a Functional Threshold Power (FTP) or similar threshold metrics for heart rate or pace. These thresholds become the basis of workout Training Stress Scores (TSS) and therefore the basis of your Performance Manager Chart (PMC).
As more and more data-gathering devices are introduced for different sport types, multi-sport athletes face the challenge of managing multiple FTPs or thresholds in their data. The new multi threshold feature in WKO5 solves that problem.
What is the Multiple-Threshold Feature in WKO?
WKO5 allows you to enter and manage multiple sport-type thresholds in one convenient location. Once the thresholds are set, multi-sport charts and reports can recognize each sport’s unique threshold settings to provide accurate calculation of metrics.
How to Set Multiple Sport Thresholds in WKO5
Setting your thresholds is easy! Click on the athlete’s name to open the athlete details page, then click the expand arrow besides the Metrics label to open the list. Threshold power, heart rate, and pace will be listed for every sport the athlete participates in. To edit the default value, simply click on the threshold you’d like to change, which will bring up a list of that threshold’s entries on the right, and click on the entry number to type in a new value. You can click the + button at the bottom of the history list to add a new entry or click the - button to delete an entry.
