Suunto Ocean - Recovery, HRV (Heart Rate Variability); Progress

The HR widget provides a quick snapshot of your heart rate and a 12-hour graph of your heart
rate. The graph is plotted using your average heart rate based on 24-minute time slots.
Your minimum heart rate from the last 12 hours is a good indicator of your recovery state. If it
is higher than normal, you probably are not yet fully recovered from your last training session.
If you record an exercise, the daily HR values reflect the elevated heart rate and calorie
consumption from your training. But keep in mind that the graph and consumption rates are
averages. If your heart rate peaks at 200 bpm while exercising, the graph does not show that
maximum value, but rather the average from the 24 minutes during which you hit that peak
rate.
Before you can see the daily HR widget values, you need to activate daily HR feature. You can
toggle the feature on or
o from the settings under Activity.
With this feature on, your watch activates the optical heart rate sensor on a regular basis to
check your heart rate. This slightly increases battery power consumption.
Once activated, your watch needs 24 minutes before it can start display heart rate
information.
Swipe right or long press the middle button to return to the watch face view.
9.5. Recovery, HRV (Heart Rate Variability)
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a measure of the variation in time between heartbeats and its
value is a good predictor of overall health and well-being.
HRV helps you to understand your recovery state and it measures your physical and mental
stress and implies how ready your body is to train.
To be able to get an
eective average HRV, you need to track your sleep at least three times
a week over a longer period to establish your HRV range.
Dierent situations and conditions such as a relaxed holiday, physical and mental exertion or
developing flu can lead to changes in HRV.
TIP: Please refer to www.suunto.com or Suunto app to learn more about HRV recovery.
9.6. Progress
The progress widget provides you with data that helps you to increase your training load over
a longer period of time, whether it is the training frequency, duration or intensity.
