Coggan Power Zone Model
The Coggan power zone model splits cycling intensity into seven FTP-based bands—standard for prescribing percent-power workouts on meters and apps.
The Coggan power zone model divides cycling intensity into seven bands anchored to functional threshold power—from active recovery through neuromuscular power. It standardizes workout prescription as percent-FTP targets on head units and training apps.
Zones are tools, not laws: individual lactate response and cadence shift boundaries slightly. Retest FTP periodically so percentages stay honest.
Common questions
-
Are Coggan zones the same on every platform?
Core FTP percentages align, but labels and cutoffs can differ slightly—use one platform consistently for trends, not cross-app perfectionism.
