of body weight at your maximum performance. Your device displays heat and altitude corrected VO2 max.

values when you are acclimating to high heat environments or high altitude.

Recovery time: The recovery time displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for

the next hard workout.

About VO2 Max. Estimates

VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body

weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of athletic performance and

should increase as your level of fitness improves. VO2 max. estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat.

You can use your Garmin device paired with a compatible heart rate monitor and power meter to display your

cycling VO2 max. estimate.

My Stats 27

Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate

Setting Your Heart Rate Zones

The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your heart rate zones. You can

manually adjust the heart rate zones according to your fitness goals (Fitness Goals, page33). For the most

accurate calorie data during your activity, you should set your maximum heart rate, resting heart rate, and heart

rate zones.

• Select % HRR to view and edit the zones as a percentage of your heart rate reserve (maximum heart rate

minus resting heart rate).

About Heart Rate Zones

Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their

level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted

heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are

calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.

32 Wireless Sensors

Fitness Goals

Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying

these principles.

• Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.

• Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength.

If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page61) to

determine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.

If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms

and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is

220 minus your age.

Training with Power Meters

• Go to www.garmin.com/cycling for a list of power meters that are compatible with your Edge bike computer

(such as Rally and Vector systems).

• For more information, see the owner's manual for your power meter.

• Adjust your power zones to match your goals and abilities (Setting Your Power Zones, page33).

• Use range alerts to be notified when you reach a specified power zone (Setting Range Alerts, page42).

• Customize the power data fields (Adding a Data Screen, page40).

Setting Your Power Zones

The values for the zones are default values and may not match your personal abilities. You can manually adjust

your zones on the device or using Garmin Connect. If you know your functional threshold power (FTP) value, you

can enter it and allow the software to calculate your power zones automatically.

1 Select > My Stats > Training Zones > Power Zones.

Pedal-Based Power

Rally measures pedal-based power.

Rally measures the force you apply a few hundred times every second. Rally also measures your cadence or

rotational pedaling speed. By measuring the force, the direction of force, the rotation of the crank arm, and time,

Rally can determine power (watts). Because Rally independently measures left and right leg power, it reports

your left-right power balance.

NOTE: The single-sensing Rally system does not provide left-right power balance.

Wireless Sensors 33
