# Manually Adjusting Your FTP

You can manually adjust your FTP in Zwift or on the web.

FTP stands for Functional Threshold Power and represents the highest power output, measured in watts, you can expect to average over a long period of time—usually around an hour. Zwift uses your FTP to determine the difficulty of your workouts. The higher your FTP, the higher the wattage targets you'll see during an interval.

We recommend completing an FTP test to identify an accurate FTP before starting your workouts.
