Recovery time: The recovery time displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout. Functional threshold power (FTP): The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup to estimate your FTP. For a more accurate rating, you can conduct a guided test. HRV stress test: The HRV (heart rate variability) stress test requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. The device records your heart rate variability while standing still for 3 minutes.
Training Load Training load is a measurement of your training volume over the last seven days. It is the sum of your excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) measurements for the last seven days. The gauge indicates whether your current load is low, high, or within the optimal range to maintain or improve your fitness level. The optimal range is determined based on your individual fitness level and training history. The range adjusts as your training time and intensity increase or decrease.
Viewing Your Recovery Time Before you can use the recovery time feature, you must put on the heart rate monitor, and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 16). If your device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the device and sensor are already paired. For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 19), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 15). > My Stats > Recovery > Enable.

The sensor should not contact other parts of your bike. NOTE: The LED flashes green for five seconds to indicate activity after two revolutions.
Pedal-Based Power Vector measures pedal-based power. Vector measures the force you apply a few hundred times every second. Vector also measures your cadence or rotational pedaling speed. By measuring the force, the direction of force, the rotation of the crank arm, and time, Vector can determine power (watts). Because Vector independently measures left and right leg power, it reports your left-right power balance. NOTE: The Vector S system does not provide left-right power balance.
NOTE: History is not recorded while the timer is stopped or paused. When the device memory is full, a message appears. The device does not automatically delete or overwrite your history.
