Recovery and readiness for cardio training
Your cardio system's recovery, which affects your daily readiness for cardio training is measured with the
Orthostatic test. Your heart rate variability values measured with the test are compared to your indi-
vidual baseline to spot if there are any deviations from your average range.
Training and recovery balance
Recovery Pro combines your measured and subjective long-term recovery data with your long-term train-
ing load (Cardio Load) to monitor the balance between training and recovery. In addition to training-
induced factors affecting your recovery, Recovery Pro also takes into account other factors such as poor
sleep and mental stress with subjective recovery questions asking about your muscle soreness, how
strained you feel and how you slept.

term training and recovery balance. Your daily personalized training recommendation is based on these
both. It takes into account your heart rate variability values from the Orthostatic test and your recovery
questions within your personal baseline and normal range for both together with your Cardio Load
status from your training sessions.
