Recovery

LeeRSA

Hi there,

Once i finish an activity using my Tomtom Adventurer, the watch measures my recovery for 1 minute. Then it either says "fair" or "good" recovery. But it also displays a number, which according to pg 43 on the manual, is a "score". Can anyone please tell me what this score means?

Thanks,
Lee

All that indicates is how many beats per minute your heart rate dropped in the first minute after you paused it. It is not an indicator of recovery; it is just a meaningless statistic. It will vary greatly on the type of exercise done, if there was a cool down period included and any number of other factors. It is also no uploaded or saved anywhere so it is not even comparable over time.

By the way, there is no need to post the same question on multiple sub-forums, they are all going to the same place.
