The aims of this study were (i) to estimate the functional threshold power (FTP) and critical power (CP) from single shorter time trials (TTs) (i.e., 10, 20 and 30 minutes) and (ii) to assess their location in the power-duration curve. Fifteen highly trained athletes randomly performed ten TTs (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 and 60 minutes). FTP was determined as the mean power output developed in the 60-minute TT, while CP was estimated in the running power meter platform according to the manufacturer's recommendations...
