Normalized Power® (NP®)

Normalized Power® accurately measures the physiological cost of a workout by accounting for variations in intensity.

Workouts with intense intervals are typically more physically taxing than workouts with steady, consistent flows. This is why only analyzing the average power from a workout can be insufficient. Because Normalized Power® gives more weight to intense efforts, it provides a more accurate representation of the physiological cost of the workout. Normalized Power® is calculated and displayed as nPower in SportTracks.

nPower, which is the SportTracks equivalent of Normalized Power®, can be viewed in SportTracks by clicking once on the Total Block for Power at the top of any power-based Workout Detail page:

The circled number in your nPower Total Block is your iFactor (the % of your FTP that you set in your Training Options for Power):

nPower can also be listed as a metric on the SportTracks Workouts page by clicking on the gear icon and adding it:
