What your Suunto watch does is estimates, in calories, the total energy you consume during your training. Needless to say, your BMR is based on the personal data the watch asks you to input when you start using it and it is recommended you edit any changes in that personal information.
Additionally, the steps you take daily will also add to the number of active calories you have gathered up throughout the day.
You can also set your calorie target in the Suunto app settings. Make sure you do not overstress your body! Recovery time is the estimated number of hours your body needs to fully recover from any previous training you recorded.
The more difficult and exhausting your training, the higher the stress on your muscles, the more hours it will take your body to fully recover. You will reach the next level in training with the help of the time you take off and relax. What your Suunto watch does is it calculates your recovery in hours based on the data collected throughout your training, data that relies on your general info.
Make sure that information is up to date. Another important thought to factor in when planning your next training session: recovery time is cumulative, and it simply does not stop there.
The longer you train and strain your muscles, the higher the recovery hours, and when you train before the countdown reaches zero, the new recovery hours will be added to the already existing ones. You can personalize the appearance of the app - for example, choosing a different theme or colors.
You can use a broader range of languages in the app. This allows you to use it in the language you choose and makes it suitable for more users around the world. The app has a higher rating on Google Play, showing the overall quality of the app and user satisfaction. The lowest score is 1, with 5 being the highest. The rating measures the overall quality of the app and user satisfaction.
The score ranges from 1 lowest to 5 highest. Activity tracking 1. It has an exercise diary, allowing you to easily keep track of your previous workouts. It supports third-party heart rate monitors to incorporate your pulse data. It can determine when you have stopped working out and pause your current workout tracking until you start moving again. After exercising, you can add details about your workout e. This enables the device to provide more accurate information, such as the number of calories burned.
It can track your sleep, such as how long you sleep for and the quality. Activity reports 1. Allows you to set your own goals, such as reaching 15, steps in a single day.
You are awarded achievements for reaching goals, helping to encourage you and keep you motivated. Many will even see how after synchronizing their last recorded workout with their Suunto watch, when synchronizing the activity with Strava the calories differ. I will try to answer all your questions in the next five minutes you will spend reading this article, but the most important thing to remember, whatever the result and whatever device you get it through, is that it is a Estimated A mathematical calculation based on more or less worked algorithms that will use a greater or lesser number of variables, depending on the complexity of the calculation and the number of data that count to make the calculation.
The only way to know what our caloric consumption is is to perform a test in the laboratory, and even then I doubt very much that an appropriate level of precision can be achieved. Finally, remember that you will find differences depending on the device and technology used. It is important that they are correctly configured weight, height, age, etc , but there is no standard that establishes how the calories consumed should be calculated.
Es decir, que pueden ser ciertos… o puede que no, porque no hay datos de intensidad. Not knowing what heart rate you're doing can't tell you how hard you're working to exercise. While walking may give you a pretty good idea, the problem comes with other types of exercise that are more difficult to quantify, such as a bike ride or yoga session.
This calculation method is used in the most basic mode of activity wristbands, both in GPS watches and in wristbands without an optical pulse sensor. In order to solve those tremendously inaccurate data, the manufacturers develop their own mathematical algorithms the case of Polar or license the algorithm for its use to third companies that are dedicated to this type of studies Garmin or Suunto, licensing Firstbeat technology in its first versions.
In any case, everything remains in Finland, since both Polar and Firstbeat are Finnish companies. In case you thought that Finns only know how to develop saunas and vodka. An example of this type of calculation is the algorithm that Polar calls OwnCal In addition to using the data seen in the previous method sex, age, weight and height , they also use the heart rate data. After entering your maximum heart rate the device will be able to calculate the effort you are making while you are training.
We can still give the algorithm another twist by including more data. In addition to the generic data it includes other data obtained from the external pulse sensor. Not only pulse, it also evaluates the time between heartbeats pulse variability or HRV and estimates the metabolic equivalent which is what will ultimately determine the calorie consumption quite accurately.
This estimation algorithm is the one you will find in some Garmin or from Suunto It also varies over time, since it uses the maximum oxygen consumption estimate VO2Max of each individual athlete, so as you progress in your workouts the algorithm is updated.
All this is explained very well by Firstbeat in your own documentation in English. And this is where another way of calculating the calories consumed comes in, precisely the most exact one, at least when cycling, because by being able to directly measure the power you are pedalling with, you can find out very precisely what the energy consumption you are having is.
To see it clearly, imagine that you finish climbing a mountain pass and begin the descent, but without pedaling. The heart rate will still be high because the effort is still very recent, but you are letting yourself fall down a hill without any effort and little energy consumption. With the calculation methods seen above, the device would count the caloric consumption due to the high heart rate. But being able to evaluate the power with which you are pedaling which in this case is 0 , it will not assign you caloric expenditure when it does not exist.
It is the most accurate way to measure power consumption without going into the laboratory. But it has two problems: a power meter is not cheap, and its use is only contemplated in cycling.
Although there is power measurement in racing Stryd , is too new a technology to be able to correctly assess the results obtained. Finally, we must not forget that activity bracelets not only count the calories we consume while exercising, but also take into account the basal metabolism, that is, the minimum energy we need to stay alive. Because even if you think not, lying on the couch watching TV also has an energy expenditure, because even if you are being tremendously lazy your whole body is in full activity breathing, organs working, etc.
It depends on a multitude of factors: sex, height, age, weight, muscle mass So when you see on your device's screen or in your daily activity summary that you have consumed a total of 2, calories without getting out of bed, don't be surprised. You are simply alive. You know that a picture is worth a thousand words and I've already exceeded those words, it's time to put pictures.
Let's go to a case study where you can see that the calculation of calories is anything but exact and depends mainly on the amount of data we can provide. A long trail race and many meters accumulated. We have two Suunto units and one Garmin unit. All three watches use the Firstbeat calorie consumption estimation algorithm.
