Performance condition: Your performance condition is a
real-time assessment after 6 to 20 minutes of activity.
It can be added as a data field so you can view your
performance condition during the rest of your activity.
It compares your real-time condition to your average
fitness level

Functional threshold power (FTP): The watch uses your
user profile information from the initial setup to
estimate your FTP. For a more accurate rating, you
can conduct a guided test

Lactate threshold: Lactate threshold requires a chest
heart rate monitor. Lactate threshold is the point
where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. Your watch
measures your lactate threshold level using heart rate
data and pace

Turning Off Performance Notifications
Some performance notifications appear upon completion
of your activity. Some performance notifications appear
during an activity or when you achieve a new performance
measurement, such as a new VO2 max. estimate. You can
turn off the performance condition feature to avoid some
of these notifications.

Detecting Performance Measurements Automatically
The Auto Detection feature is turned on by default. The
device can automatically detect your maximum heart rate
and lactate threshold during an activity. When paired with
a compatible power meter, the device can automatically
detect your functional threshold power (FTP) during an
activity.
NOTE: The device detects a maximum heart rate only
when your heart rate is higher than the value set in your
user profile.

Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements
You can sync activities and performance measurements
from other Garmin devices to your MARQ device using
your Garmin Connect account. This allows your device to
more accurately reflect your training status and fitness.
For example, you can record a ride with an Edge device,
and view your activity details and overall training load on
your MARQ device.

2 Select Physiological Metrics > TrueUp.
When you sync your device with your smartphone, recent
activities and performance measurements from your other
Garmin devices appear on your MARQ device.

About VO2 Max. Estimates
VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters)
you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight
at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2
max. is an indication of athletic performance and should
increase as your level of fitness improves. The MARQ
device requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible
chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max.
estimate. The device has separate VO2 max. estimates
for running and cycling. You must run either outside with
GPS or ride with a compatible power meter at a moderate
level of intensity for several minutes to get an accurate
VO2 max. estimate.
On the device, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a
number, description, and position on the color gauge. On
your Garmin Connect account, you can view additional
details about your VO2 max. estimate, such as where it
ranks for your age and gender.
