Your minimum heart rate from the last 12 hours is a good indicator of your recovery state. If it
is higher than normal, you probably are not yet fully recovered from your last training session.
If you record an exercise, the daily HR values reflect the elevated heart rate and calorie
consumption from your training. But keep in mind that the graph and consumption rates are
averages. If your heart rate peaks at 200 bpm while exercising, the graph does not show that
maximum value, but rather the average from the 24 minutes during which you hit that peak
rate.
To be able to see the daily HR widget values, the daily HR feature needs to be activated. You
can toggle the feature on or off from the settings under Activity or scroll down to the end of
the HR widget and activate it there.
With this feature on, your watch activates the optical heart rate sensor on a regular basis to
check your heart rate. This slightly increases battery power consumption.
Once activated, your watch needs 24 minutes before it can start display heart rate
information.
Swipe right or press the lower button to return to the watch face view.
6.5. Recovery, HRV (Heart Rate Variability)
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a measure of the variation in time between heartbeats and its
value is a good predictor of overall health and well-being.
HRV helps you to understand your recovery state and it measures your physical and mental
stress and implies how ready your body is to train.
To be able to get an effective average HRV, you need to track your sleep at least three times
a week over a longer period to establish your HRV range.
Different situations and conditions such as a relaxed holiday, physical and mental exertion or
developing flu can lead to changes in HRV.
TIP: Please refer to www.suunto.com or Suunto app to learn more about HRV recovery.
6.6. Progress
The progress widget provides you with data that helps you to increase your training load over
a longer period of time, whether it is the training frequency, duration or intensity.
