Using the coaching feature while exercising in running mode
Use the personalised coaching feature to exercise safely and effectively. You will receive real- time coaching advice that leads you through a safe and effective workout that keeps you fit.
About the coaching feature
The coaching feature includes Firstbeat technology to provide personalised exercise guidance. Firstbeat uses Training Effect (TE) analysis that measures the accumulated physical load during a workout and assesses the impact on your fitness. TE levels are based on your physical profile and the heart rate information recorded while you work out. Your TE level increases when you perform effective exercise and the coaching feature uses the TE to provide you with feedback.
The feedback is provided by the feature via prompts, such as‘speed up’,‘keep up this pace’, and‘slow down’. When you first start to use the coaching feature, it will estimate an appropriate TE level based on your profile. As you exercise, it will analyse your training history and provide more personalised guidance. A typical workout may start at a lower intensity and sharply increase in intensity towards the end.
Visit www.firstbeat.fi/te for more information.
The Gear Fit measures your heart rate with the heart rate measurement sensor. This feature may not work properly if the heart rate sensor is exposed to excessive sweat or its position is changed during exercise.
