NOTE: The device should be snug but comfortable. For more accurate heart rate readings, the device should not move while running or exercising. For pulse oximeter readings, you should remain motionless. NOTE: The optical sensor is located on the back of the device. • See Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data, page 13 for more information about wrist-based heart rate. • See Tips for Erratic Pulse Oximeter Data, page 20 for more information about the pulse oximeter sensor.
NOTE: Ground contact time and balance are not available while walking. Ground contact time balance: Ground contact time balance displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time while running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right. Stride length: Stride length is the length of your stride from one footfall to the next. It is measured in meters. Vertical ratio: Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage.
• 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. Performance Measurements These performance measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities and race performances. The measurements require a few activities using wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor.
Sensors, page 37). If you are using a chest heart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 20) and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 20). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few rides to learn about your cycling performance. 1 Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes. 2 After your ride, select Save.
3 Scroll to the data screen to view your performance condition Purple Superior Blue Excellent Lactate Threshold Green Good Lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate (lactic acid) starts to accumulate in the bloodstream. In running, it is the estimated level of effort or pace. When a runner exceeds the threshold, fatigue starts to increase at an accelerating rate.
VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. Your device displays heat and altitude corrected VO2 max. values when you are acclimating to high heat environemnts or high altitude. Training load: Training load is the sum of your excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) over the last 7 days. EPOC is an estimate of how much energy it takes for your body to recover after exercise.
Above targets: Your training load is higher than optimal, and you should consider scaling back the duration and frequency of your workouts. Recovery Time You can use your Garmin device with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout. NOTE: The recovery time recommendation uses your VO2 max. estimate and may seem inaccurate at first.
2 Press START to view widget details and begin a pulse oximeter reading. 3 Remain motionless for up to 30 seconds. NOTE: If you are too active for the watch to get a pulse oximeter reading, a message appears instead of a percentage. You can check again after several minutes of inactivity. For best results, hold the arm wearing the device at heart level while the device reads your blood oxygen saturation. 4 Press DOWN to view a graph of your pulse oximeter readings for the last seven days.
Letting the Device Set Your Heart Rate Zones The default settings allow the device to detect your maximum heart rate and set your heart rate zones as a percentage of your maximum heart rate. • Verify that your user profile settings are accurate (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 20). • Run often with the wrist or chest heart rate monitor. • Try a few heart rate training plans, available from your Garmin Connect account. • View your heart rate trends and time in zones using your Garmin Connect account.
rate is turned off, the device calculates moderate intensity minutes by analyzing your steps per minute. • Start a timed activity for the most accurate calculation of intensity minutes. • Exercise for at least 10 consecutive minutes at a moderate or vigorous intensity level. • Wear your device all day and night for the most accurate resting heart rate. Garmin Move IQ™ When your movements match familiar exercise patterns, the Move IQ feature automatically detects the event and displays it in your timeline.
