comparison between sessions, we have converted your training load into an approximate recovery need
estimation.
Training load takes into consideration different factors which affect your training load and estimated recovery
need. These include HR
sit
, HR
max
, VO
2max
, sex, age, height, weight and your training background. Your
aerobic and anaerobic thresholds (can be set in the Flow web service), heart rate during training and the
duration of your session also affect the calculation. In addition by applying sport-specific factor, the
strenuousness of the sport performed is reflected in your in training load and recovery need.
After each training session in the training summary, you will receive a description of
your training load and the estimated time needed to recover from the session.
Check the estimated recovery needs for the different
Training Loads from this chart.

RECOVERY STATUS
The recovery status feature keeps track of your cumulative load – that is, intensity, volume and frequency of
your training and activity – taking your training background into account. Your recovery status combines your
training load with the data of the activities you do every day. It estimates your recovery status and how long it
takes for you to recover. It is a tool that helps you avoid over and under training and adjust your training plans,
together with other tools such as the orthostatic test.
Your recovery status is based on your cumulative training load, daily activity and resting from the past 8 days.
The most recent training sessions and activity are weighted more than earlier ones, therefore they have the
biggest effect on your recovery status. Your activity outside training sessions is tracked with an internal 3D
accelerometer that records your wrist movements. It analyzes the frequency, intensity and irregularity of your
movements together with your physical information, allowing you to see how active you are outside your
training sessions. By combining your daily activity with your training load you get a true picture of your
required recovery status. Continuous monitoring of your recovery status will help you recognize personal
limits, avoid over or under training, and adjust training intensity and duration according to your daily and
weekly targets.
To get the most accurate recovery status information, wear a heart rate sensor when training.
