TRAINING LOAD PRO

The new Training Load Pro™ feature measures how your training sessions strain your body and helps to
understand how it impacts your performance. Training Load Pro gives you a training load level for your
cardiovascular system Cardio Load, and with Perceived Load you can rate how strained you feel. Train-
ing Load Pro also gives you a training load level for your musculoskeletal system (Muscle Load). When
you know how strained each body system is, you can optimize your training by working the right system
at the right time.

Cardio Load

Cardio Load is based on training impulse calculation (TRIMP), a commonly accepted and scientifically
proven method to quantify training load. Your Cardio Load value tells you how much strain your training
session put on your cardiovascular system. The higher the Cardio Load, the more strenuous the training
session was for the cardiovascular system. Cardio Load is calculated after every workout from your heart
rate data and session duration.
