Viewing Your Cardio Load Status

The cardio load status compares your load (STRAIN) with your endurance (TOLERANCE) to see how your training is affecting your body. You can control your total training volume in the short and long term by checking your cardio load status.

Num_circle_1 Cardio load status

[DETRAINING]	< 0.8 Training at a load that is less than recommended has continued for one week or longer, which is affecting your fitness level. Correct by increasing your training load.
[MAINTAINING]	0.8 to 1.0 Training load suitable for maintaining your fitness level. For better effect, try other types of training or increase the training volume.
[PRODUCTIVE]	1.0 to 1.3 Maintain this status. The training load is either laying a foundation for fitness or guiding you in the right direction for fitness. To maintain this status, schedule recovery time between training.
[OVERREACHING]	> 1.3 This status has a high training load, which is counterproductive. Rest is required. Create recovery time by including low-load training.

The displayed value is calculated by dividing the strain by the tolerance.

Your cardio load status is updated after you activate the heart rate measurement and perform an activity measurement, or every day at midnight (12:00 am).
