5.4 Using EPOC

EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption) indicates the amount of extra oxygen that your body needs to recover after exercise. Your body consumes more oxygen after exercise than during rest. The higher the EPOC, the more strenuous the exercise. EPOC is most useful in measuring the exercise load in endurance sports such as running and cycling.

Suunto t6d allows you to predict EPOC already during exercise, which in turn makes it possible to monitor the exercise load and the Training Effect.

You can select EPOC to be shown in the TRAINING mode displays (see Section 4.4 Configuring TRAINING mode displays).

Use the Suunto Training Manager software to view your individual training sessions with their EPOC values correlated to the Training Effect level as graphs. For more information, see Suunto Training Manager Online help.
