A numerical and written interpretation of the result is displayed. Press DOWN to see your average heart
rate (bpm) while lying down (HRrest), the highest heart rate while standing up (HRpeak), and the average
heart rate while standing (HRstand).
You can interrupt the test in any phase by pressing STOP. Optimizer Test canceled is displayed.
If the cycling computer cannot receive your heart rate signal, the message Test failed. Check WearLink is

After the Test
How to Interpret Results
The cycling computer calculates five heart rate and heart rate variability based parameters. The
OwnOptimizer values are calculated by comparing your latest results to previous ones. The cycling
computer will display a written description of your training status. The descriptions are defined in detail
below.
Good Recovery (1)
Your heart rate is lower than average. This indicates that you have recovered very well. You can continue
training, including intensive exercise sessions.
Normal State (2)
Your heart rate is at a normal level. Go on with your training; include both light and intensive training
sessions, and recovery days.
Training Effect (3)
Your heart rate is higher than average. You may have exercised intensively in the previous days. You have
two choices: 1) rest or train lightly for one or two days, or 2) continue intensive training for one or two
days and then recover well. Other sources of stress such as the beginning of a fever or an attack of the flu
can result in the same kind of response.
Steady State (4)
Your heart rate has continuously been at a normal level for a long time now. Effective training requires
both heavy training and good recovery, and this should cause variation in your heart rate results. Your
OwnOptimizer result indicates that you have not had very intensive training or good recovery for a while.
Perform the test again after a rest or light training day. If the recovery is effective, your result should show
Good recovery.
Stagnant State (5)
Your heart rate is still at a normal level, and this has continued for a long time. The result indicates that
your training has not been intensive enough to develop optimally. To improve your condition effectively,
you should now include more intense or longer exercise sessions in your program.
Hard Training (6)
Your heart rate has been higher than average several times. You may have trained hard on purpose. The
result indicates overloading, and you should try to recover well now. To monitor your recovery, perform the
test again after one or two resting or easy training days.
Overreaching (7)
