TrEffect / Training Effect (3)
Your test heart rates are higher than average. You may have exercised
intensively in the previous days. You have two choices: 1) rest or light
train for one or two days, or 2) continue intensive training for one or
two days and then recover well.
Other sources of stress, the beginning of a fever or an attack of the flu
can result in the same kind of response.
Steady / Steady Training State (4)
Your test heart rates have 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 test heart rates. Your
OwnOptimizer Test 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, you will get Recovered
as a test result.
Stagnant / Stagnant Training State (5)
Your test heart rates are still at a normal level, and this has continued
for a long time. Your test indicates that your training has not been
intensive enough to develop optimally. To improve your condition most
effectively, you should now include more intense or longer exercise
sessions in your training.
Hard Tr / Hard Training Effect (6)
Your test heart rates have been higher than average several times. You
may have trained hard on purpose. Your test indicates overloading, and
you should recover well now. To control your recovery, perform the test
again after one or two resting or easy training days.
6. After 3 minutes, the wrist unit gives a signal and Stand up is displayed.
Stand up and remain standing still for 3 minutes.
7. After 3 minutes the wrist unit again gives again a signal and the test is
finished.
8. You can see both a numerical and a verbal interpretation of the result
on the wrist unit display.
If the test fails, the wrist unit gives a signal and the text "Failed test" is
displayed. You can retake the test by starting from the very beginning.
How to interpret the results
The wrist unit calculates five heart rate and heart rate variability based
parameters. The OwnOptimizer values are calculated by comparing your
latest results to your previous results. The wrist unit will display a written
description of your training status. They are defined in detail below. The
wrist unit also displays your average heart rate (bpm) while lying down
(Rest HR), the highest heart rate while standing up (Peak HR) and the
average heart rate while standing (Stand HR).
The display texts for interpretation of your OwnOptimizer values are:
Recovered / Recovered (1)
Your test heart rates are lower than average. This indicates that you
have recovered very well. You can continue training, including intensive
exercise sessions.
Normal / Normal Training State (2)
Your test heart rates are at a normal level. Go on with your training;
include both light and intensive training sessions, and recovery days.
