HRV stress test: The HRV (heart rate variability) stress test requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. The device records your heart rate variability while standing still for 3 minutes. It provides your overall stress level. The scale is 1 to 100, and a lower score indicates a lower stress level.
fitness level. The optimal range is determined based on your individual fitness level and training history. The range adjusts as your training time and intensity increase or decrease.

Pedal-Based Power Vector measures pedal-based power. Vector measures the force you apply a few hundred times every second. Vector also measures your cadence or rotational pedaling speed. By measuring the force, the direction of force, the rotation of the crank arm, and time, Vector can determine power (watts). Because Vector independently measures left and right leg power, it reports your left-right power balance. NOTE: The Vector S system does not provide left-right power balance.
3 Select an option: • If your ride has data from one sensor, select Time in HR Zone or Time in Power Zone. • If your ride has data from both sensors, select Time in Zone, and select Heart Rate Zones or Power Zones. For information about data averaging for cadence and power, see Data Averaging for Cadence or Power, page 16.
