Phase name

Split time

Duration of current phase

Heart rate in beats per minute (bpm), alternating with a percentage of maximum heart rate (HR%) or as a percentage of heart rate reserve (HRR%).

Maximum heart rate Average heart rate

Increased HR / Recovery HR / HR differ.

The difference between heart rate at the beginning and end of the phase. Current heart rate in beats per minute (bpm), alternating with a percentage of your maximum heart rate (HR%) or a percentage of heart rate reserve (HRR% ).

Increased HR: If heart rate was lower in the beginning of the phase than it was at the end, the cycling computer will show the difference in heart rate (heart rate at the end minus heart rate in the beginning). During the working phase, the cycling computer will show the increased heart rate value.

Recovery HR: If the heart rate was higher in the beginning of the phase than it was at the end, the cycling computer will show the difference in heart rate (heart rate in the beginning minus heart rate at the end). During the recovery phase, the cycling computer will show the recovery heart rate value.

HR differ: If the heart rate value was the same at the beginning and end of the phase, the cycling computer will show an HR difference value of 0.
