TRAINING BENEFIT
The Training Benefit feature helps you better understand the effectiveness of your training. This feature
requires the use of the heart rate sensor. After each training session you get textual feedback on your per-
formance providing that you have trained at least a total of 10 minutes in the sport zones. The feedback is
based on training time distribution on sport zones, calorie expenditure and duration. In Training Files you get
the feedback in more detail. The descriptions of different training benefit options are listed in the table below
