FTP, like all psychological thresholds, is not tied to an artificial time constraint. It happens when it happens. That is to say, it's NOT one hour. Your time to exhaustion is however long you can hold it. TSS is set to an hour. I prefer Kolie Moore's FTP protocol, https://www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/t...ing-protocols/.
Hope you meant “physiological” thresholds. The one-hour thing is a pernicious and pervasive misconception.
