In the Speed Power Profile, which color indicates a high rest ratio (1:5)?

• A. Yellow; low rest
• B. Blue; no rest
• C. Green; 1:1 ratio
• D. Red; high rest 1:5

Answer: (D)

In the Speed Power Profile, colors visually map to how long you rest between efforts. Red is used to indicate a high rest scenario, specifically a 1:5 work-to-rest ratio. That means you perform a unit of work, then rest five units of time, keeping recovery ample so technique and power stay high across reps. This is why red is the best indicator for high rest. The other colors correspond to shorter or no rest: yellow signals relatively low rest, blue means no rest, and green shows a 1:1 ratio.
