Fitness Level (Steel HR Sport only)
What is the Fitness Level Score?
Our Fitness Level assessment is calculated on the basis of several factors. The
most important ones include heart rate, age, sex, and weight, and they are
combined with the GPS data tracked by the Withings Steel HR Sport during your
running sessions. The fitness level is then estimated by comparing your heart rate
and your running pace.
The higher your fitness level, the more fit you are. People with a higher VO2 max
usually have a lower heart rate during running sessions. People who are new to
the workout game have a higher heart rate at the same pace and therefore a
lower VO2 max.
To see an accurate estimate, you need to go on runs that are at least 10 minutes
long. It is also recommended that you run on flat terrain, because running
downhill or uphill can put too much or too little eort compared to a flat run,
which can throw o the estimate.
Continuity is key: wear your Withings Steel HR Sport with the GPS feature
enabled every time you go on a run. This not only delivers the most accurate
measurement, but also tracks your cardio fitness development over time.
Note: Always consult with your doctor or trusted health professional before
beginning a new fitness routine.
How do you rate Fitness Level?
We rate Fitness Level with a score between 17 and 60. After a running session,
open the Health Mate app to see your Fitness Level in the Timeline.
Excellent, good,fair or poor: we provide color-coded feedback that helps you to
understand your score easily. You will also find more information on what goes
into a Fitness Level assessment, as well as advice on how you can improve your
score.
