It is important that your Max HR and Rest HR are set to match your heart rate to ensure that
you get the most accurate readings. By default, the Rest HR is set to 60 bpm and the Max HR
is based on your age.
These HR values can easily be changed in the settings under GENERAL -> PERSONAL.
TIP: Use the lowest heart rate reading measured during your sleep as your Rest 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.
The green bars indicate periods where you have been recovering. The percentage value is
an estimate of your current resource level.
5.11. Fitness level
Good aerobic fitness is important for your overall health, well-being and sports performance.
Your aerobic
fitness level is defined as VO2max (maximal oxygen consumption), a widely
recognized measure of aerobic endurance capacity. In other words, VO2max shows how well
your body can use oxygen. The higher your VO2max, the better you can use oxygen.
The estimation of your fitness level is based on detecting your heart rate response during
each recorded running or walking workout. To get your
fitness level estimated, record a run or
walk with a duration for at least 15 minutes while wearing your Suunto 5 Peak.
Your watch is able to provide an estimation of your fitness level for all running and walking
workouts.
Your current estimated fitness level is shown in the fitness level display. From the watch face,
press the lower right button to scroll to the fitness level display.
NOTE: If the watch hasn't estimated your fitness level yet, the fitness level display will
instruct you further.
