Ground Contact Time Balance
While developing and testing running dynamics, the Garmin team found correlations between injuries and greater
imbalances with certain runners. For many runners, ground contact time balance tends to deviate further from 50–50
when running up or down hills. Most running coaches agree that a symmetrical running form is good. Elite runners tend
to have quick and balanced strides.
You can watch the gauge or data field during your run or view the summary on your Garmin Connect account after your
run. As with the other running dynamics data, ground contact time balance is a quantitative measurement to help you
learn about your running form.
Vertical Oscillation and Vertical Ratio Data
The data ranges for vertical oscillation and vertical ratio are slightly different depending on the sensor and whether
it is positioned at the chest (HRM-Pro, HRM-Run
accessory).

Tips for Missing Running Dynamics Data
If running dynamics data does not appear, you can try
these tips.
• Make sure you have a running dynamics accessory,
such as the HRM-Pro accessory.
Accessories with running dynamics have
front of the module.
• Pair the running dynamics accessory with your watch
again, according to the instructions.
• If you are using the HRM-Pro accessory, pair it
with your watch using ANT+ technology, rather than
Bluetooth technology.
• If the running dynamics data display shows only zeros,
make sure the accessory is worn right-side up.
NOTE: Ground contact time and balance appears only
while running. It is not calculated while walking.
