4.5 Using Training Effect

Training Effect (TE) is a unique feature of your Suunto heart rate monitor that measures the real effect of a workout on your physical fitness. With Training Effect, you can be sure that your workouts have the intended result.

There is a significant difference between heart rate zone (temporary training intensity) and Training Effect (total load of a workout). In zone training, you try to keep your heart rate at a certain level throughout the whole workout. With Training Effect you just need to reach the desired target once during training.
