Training Benefit feature
Training Benefit gives you textual feedback on the effect of each training session helping you to better understand the effectiveness of your training. You can see the feedback in Flow web service, Flow app and Beat app. To get the feedback, you need to have trained at least a total of 10 minutes in the heart rate zones.
Training Benefit feedback is based on heart rate zones. It reads into how much time you spend and how many calories you burn in each zone.
The descriptions of different training benefit options are listed in the table below
Feedback | Benefit |
---|---|
Maximum training+ | This training increased your maximum performance and sprint race speed. It toned the nervous system of your muscles and required maximal or near maximal effort for breathing and muscles. The training duration was long enough to increase fatigue resistance at the used speed. |
Maximum training | This training increased your maximum performance and sprint race speed. It toned the nervous system of your muscles and required maximal or near maximal effort for breathing and muscles. This training intensity is recommended for short exercises.
