Garmin INSTINCT E - Vertical Oscillation and Vertical Ratio Data; VO2 Max. Standard Ratings; Wheel Size and Circumference

Appendix 45
strides, and slightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is
not correlated with height.
Go to Garmin.com/runningdynamics for more information on running dynamics. For additional theories and
interpretations of running dynamics data, you can search reputable running publications and websites.

Vertical Oscillation and Vertical Ratio Data
NOTE: In the Garmin Connect activity, the running dynamics data displays as colored graphs.
The data ranges for vertical oscillation and vertical ratio are slightly different depending on the sensor and whether
it is positioned at the chest (HRM-Fit or HRM-Pro series accessories) or at the waist (Running Dynamics Pod
accessory).

Wheel Size and Circumference
Your speed sensor automatically detects your wheel size. If necessary, you can manually enter your wheel
circumference in the speed sensor settings.
The tire size is marked on both sides of the tire. You can measure the circumference of your wheel or use one of the
calculators available on the internet.
