TIP: For best results, you should stop moving for two minutes
while the device calculates your recovery heart rate value. You
can save or discard the activity after this value appears.
About Training Effect
Training Effect measures the impact of an activity on your
aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Training Effect accumulates
during the activity. As the activity progresses, the Training Effect
value increases, telling you how the activity has improved your
fitness. Training Effect is determined by your user profile
information, heart rate, duration, and intensity of your activity.
Aerobic Training Effect uses your heart rate to measure how the
accumulated intensity of an exercise affects your aerobic fitness
and indicates if the workout had a maintaining or improving
effect on your fitness level. Your EPOC accumulated during
exercise is mapped to a range of values that account for your
fitness level and training habits. Steady workouts at moderate
effort or workouts involving longer intervals (>180 sec) have a
positive impact on your aerobic metabolism and result in an
improved aerobic Training Effect.
Anaerobic Training Effect uses heart rate and speed (or power)
to determine how a workout affects your ability to perform at
very high intensity. You receive a value based on the anaerobic
contribution to EPOC and the type of activity. Repeated high-
intensity intervals of 10 to 120 seconds have a highly beneficial
impact on your anaerobic capability and result in an improved
anaerobic Training Effect.
It is important to know that your Training Effect numbers (from
0.0 to 5.0) may seem abnormally high during your first few
activities. It takes several activities for the device to learn your
aerobic and anaerobic fitness.

Fitness Goals
Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and
improve your fitness by understanding and applying these
principles.
Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.
Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve
cardiovascular capacity and strength.
Knowing your heart rate zones can prevent you from
overtraining and can decrease your risk of injury.
If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table
(Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 11) to determine the best
heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the
calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health
centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate.
The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.
About Heart Rate Zones
Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase
their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A
heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five
commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5
according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are
calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.
Setting Your Heart Rate Zones
The device uses your user profile information from the initial
setup to determine your default heart rate zones. You can set
separate heart rate zones for sport profiles, such as running,
cycling, and swimming. For the most accurate calorie data
during your activity, set your maximum heart rate. You can also
set each heart rate zone and enter your resting heart rate
manually. You can manually adjust your zones on the device or
using your Garmin Connect account.
1
Hold MENU.
2
Select Settings > User Profile > Heart Rate.

Select Max. HR, and enter your maximum heart rate.
You can use the Auto Detection feature to automatically
record your maximum heart rate during an activity
(Automatically Detecting Performance Measurements,
page 7).
4
Select LTHR > Enter Manually, and enter your lactate
threshold heart rate.
You can perform a guided test to estimate your lactate
threshold (Lactate Threshold, page 9).
5
Select Resting HR, and enter your resting heart rate.
You can use the average resting heart rate based on your
user profile information, or you can set a custom resting heart
rate.
6
Select Zones > Based On.

Select an option:
Select BPM to view and edit the zones in beats per
minute.
Select %Max. HR to view and edit the zones as a
percentage of your maximum heart rate.
Select %HRR to view and edit the zones as a percentage
of your heart rate reserve (maximum heart rate minus
resting heart rate).
Select %LTHR to view and edit the zones as a percentage
of your lactate threshold heart rate.
8
Select a zone, and enter a value for each zone.
