decrease quickly if you are riding at a high effort level. Reducing your effort or resting results in a
slower decline of your potential stamina.

current level of effort. This estimate combines general fatigue with anaerobic cycling activities, such

Stress score is the result of a three-minute test performed while standing still, where the Edge device analyzes
heart rate variability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact
how an athlete performs. The stress score range is 1 to 100, where 1 is a very low stress state, and 100 is a very
high stress state. Knowing your stress score can help you decide if your body is ready for a tough workout or
