  • Page 79: Get Started With Recovery Pro

    Recovery Pro works together with Training Load Pro that gives you a holistic view on how your training sessions strain different systems. Recovery Pro then tells you how your body is coping with this strain, and how it affects your daily readiness for cardio training, and short and long-term recovery. 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.
  • Page 80 When Recovery Pro is set on, the watch asks you to schedule an Orthostatic test for at least three mornings per week (e.g. on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays). For the most accurate recovery information, we recommend you take the Orthostatic test every morning if possible.

    Whether you should follow power zones, speed/pace zones or heart rate zones in your training, depends on your goals and training routines. Power zones work in all types of terrains – flat or hilly. Speed zones are reliable only when you run in flat terrain. Speed or power zones are also a good choice for interval training.

  • Page 94: Cycling Performance Test

    CYCLING PERFORMANCE TEST The Cycling Performance Test measures the maximum average power you can maintain for 60 minutes. It's also known as the functional threshold power, FTP-test. The test can be used to determine your individual cycling power zones. When you have your individual power zones figured out, it's easier to optimize your training.

  • Page 95: Performing The Test

    In addition to the 60-minute FTP-test, you can also take a shorter test that lasts for 20, 30 or 40 minutes, in which case we'll estimate the 60-minute result. Note that with the shorter tests the result may not be as precise as with the 60-minute test.

    In your first test, the result is compared with other cyclists of the same sex as you. When you repeat the test, the result is compared to your previous test results and test feedback is also based on them. If you want to use the Cycling Performance Test to track your progress and help you choose the right training intensities, we recommend that you repeat the maximal test every three months to ensure that your training zones are always up to date.

Your leg muscles aren't considered recovered: If your baseline is 28 cm or higher: When your test result is 7% or more less than your baseline. If your baseline under 28 cm: When your test result is 2 centimeters or more less than your baseline.

    RUNNING POWER FROM THE WRIST Running power is a great complement to heart rate monitoring – it helps you monitor the external load of your running. Power responds to changes in intensity faster than your heart rate, which is why Running Power is a great guiding metric in interval and hill sessions.

    Inactivity alert It's widely known that physical activity is a major factor in maintaining health. In addition to being physically active, it's important to avoid prolonged sitting. Sitting for long periods of time is bad for your health, even on those days when you train and gain enough daily activity. Your watch spots if you’re being inactive for too long during your day and this way helps you to break up your sitting to avoid the negative effects it has on your health.
