While they are similar concepts, they are not exactly the same thing. Critical Power (CP) is a physiologically-derived measure of the highest power an athlete can sustain while remaining metabolically stable. Functional Threshold Power (FTP) is an estimate of the maximal power sustainable for 60 minutes. CP is calculated using multiple intense time trials over varying durations, whereas FTP is more practical because it is estimated based on a single test. CP is a more precise, scientifically-grounded measure of your metabolic threshold, while FTP is a practical estimate of that threshold.Resources[1] HYROX: From Average to Elite​https://roxlyfe.com/hyrox-from-average-to-elite/​[2] How Fast and Strong are the HYROX Elite 15?​https://roxlyfe.com/how-fast-and-strong-are-the-hyrox-elite-15/​[3] ​Daniels' Running Formula
