4.32. Sport modes
Your watch comes with a wide range of pre-defined sport modes. The modes are designed
for specific activities and purposes, from a casual walk outside to cross country skiing.
When you record an exercise (see Recording an exercise), you can scroll up and down to see
the short list of sport modes. Select the Other icon at the end of the short list to view the
complete list of sport modes.
Each sport mode has a unique set of displays and views.
4.33. Swimming
You can use your Suunto 5 for swimming in pools.
When you use a pool swimming sport mode, the watch relies on the pool length to determine
distance. You can change the pool length as needed under the sport mode options before
you start swimming.
NOTE: The wrist heart rate sensor may not work under water. Use a chest heart rate
sensor to get a more reliable HR tracking.
4.34. Stress and recovery
Your resources are a good indication of your body's energy levels and translate into your
ability to handle stress and cope with the day's challenges.
Stress and physical activity deplete your resources, while rest and recovery restore them.
Good sleep is an essential part of ensuring your body has the resources it needs.
When your resource levels are high, you will likely feel fresh and energetic. Going for a run
when your resources are high means you'll probably have a great run, because your body has
the energy it needs to adapt and improve as a result.
Being able to track your resources can help you manage and use them wisely. You can also
use your resource levels as a guide to identify stress factors, personally
eective recovery
boosting strategies, and the impact of good nutrition.
Stress and recovery uses optical heart sensor readings and to get those during the day, daily
HR must be enabled, see Daily HR.
Press the lower right button to scroll to the stress and recovery display.
The gauge around this display indicates your overall resource level. If it is green, it means you
are recovering. The status and time indicator tell you your current state (active, inactive,
recovering or stressed) and for how long you have been in that state. In this screenshot, for
example, you have been recovering for the last four hours.
Press the middle button to see a bar chart of your resources over the last 16 hours.
