EPOC
Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC)
If you want to know about intensity, think EPOC! The higher your EPOC number, the
higher the intensity of your workout - and the higher the amount of energy you'll
spend recovering from your (presumably epic) exercise.

PTE
Peak Training
Eect (PTE)
Check out PTE when you want to know how big of an impact your exercise had on
your overall aerobic fitness. Looking at the PTE scale is the easiest way to grasp why
it's useful: 1-2: Improves basic endurance, builds a good foundation for progress 3-4:
Doing this 1-2 times a week
eectively improves aerobic fitness 5: You're really
exerting yourself and you shouldn't do this often.
Recovery time
Recovery time pretty much does what it states: it gives you an estimation on how long
you need to recover from your exercise based on stats like duration and intensity.
Recovery is a key element of both your training and overall wellness. Taking time to
rest when needed is as important as your activities, and will help prepare you for
adventures to come.
