Recovery Status - Suunto AMBIT3 VERTICAL 1.0 User Manual

Because recovery time is an estimation only, the accumulated hours
are counted down steadily regardless of your fitness level or other
individual factors. If you are very fit, you may recover faster than
estimated. On the other hand, if you have the flu, for example, your
recovery may be slower than estimated.
To get an accurate indication of your actual recovery state, we
recommend using one of the recover tests (see
status ).

3.28.2 Recovery status

Recovery status indicates the amount of stress on your autonomic
nervous system. The less stress you have, the more recovered you
are. Knowing your state of recovery helps you optimize your
training and avoid over training or injury.
You can check your recovery status with the quick recovery test or
sleep recovery test, powered by Firstbeat. The tests require a
Bluetooth-compatible heart rate sensor that measures heart rate
variability (R-R interval), such as Suunto Smart Sensor.
Your recovery status is indicated with 0-100% result scale as
explained in the table below.
