Sending FTP from Garmin Connect to a Garmin Fitness Device

The Functional Threshold Power (FTP) Value for devices that support cycling power data, ski power data, and in some cases running power data in the form of Threshold Power (TP) can be set in your Garmin Connect™ account and then sent over to your Garmin device using the Garmin Connect app on your smartphone or from the Garmin Express™ software on a personal computer.

NOTE: The FTP value can be entered directly on some models. Refer to your owner's manual to determine if your device supports this option.
