system. Cardio Load is calculated after every workout from your heart rate data and session duration.

that takes into account your own subjective experience of how demanding your training session was and the duration
of your session. It's is quantified with Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), a scientifically accepted method to quantify
subjective training load. Using the RPE scale is especially useful for sports where measuring training load based on
