Swimming

NOTICE
The device is intended for surface swimming. Scuba diving with the device may damage the product and will void the warranty.
NOTE: The watch has wrist-based heart rate enabled for swim activities. The watch is also compatible with the HRM-Pro, HRM-Swim™ , and HRM-Tri™ accessories. If both wrist-based heart rate and chest heart rate data are available, your watch uses the chest heart rate data.
Swim Terminology
Length: One trip down the pool.
Interval: One or more consecutive lengths. A new interval starts after a rest.
Stroke: A stroke is counted every time your arm wearing the watch completes a full cycle.
Swolf: Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one pool length and the number of strokes for that length.
For example, 30 seconds plus 15 strokes equals a swolf score of 45. For open water swimming, swolf is calculated over 25 meters. Swolf is a measurement of swimming efficiency and, like golf, a lower score is better.
Critical swim speed (CSS): Your CSS is the theoretical speed that you can maintain continuously without exhaustion. You can use your CSS to guide your training pace and monitor your improvement.
Stroke Types
Stroke type identification is available only for pool swimming. Your stroke type is identified at the end of a length. Stroke types appear in your swimming history and in your Garmin Connect account. You can also select stroke type as a custom data field (Customizing the Data Screens, page 82).

Free	Freestyle
Back	Backstroke
Breast	Breaststroke
Fly	Butterfly
Mixed	More than one stroke type in an interval
Drill	Used with drill logging (Training with the Drill Log, page 15)

Performance Measurements
These performance measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities and race performances. The measurements require a few activities using wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. Cycling performance measurements require a heart rate monitor and a power meter.
These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat Analytics™ .
For more information, go to garmin.com/performance- data/running.
NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The watch requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance.
VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 39).
Predicted race times: The watch uses the VO2 max. estimate and your training history to provide a target race time based on your current state of fitness (Viewing Your Predicted Race Times, page 41).
HRV status: The watch analyzes your wrist heart rate readings while you are sleeping to determine your heart rate variability (HRV) status based on your personal, long-term HRV averages (Heart Rate Variability Status, page 43).
Performance condition: Your performance condition is a real-time assessment after 6 to 20 minutes of activity. It can be added as a data field so you can view your performance condition during the rest of your activity. It compares your real-time condition to your average fitness level (Performance Condition, page 44).
Functional threshold power (FTP): The watch uses your user profile information from the initial setup to estimate your FTP. For a more accurate rating, you can conduct a guided test (Getting Your FTP Estimate, page 45).
Lactate threshold: Lactate threshold requires a chest heart rate monitor. Lactate threshold is the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue. Your watch measures your lactate threshold level using heart rate data and pace (Lactate Threshold, page 44).

About VO2 Max. Estimates

VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of athletic performance and should increase as your level of fitness improves. The fēnix device requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. The device has separate VO2 max. estimates for running and cycling. You must run either outside with GPS or ride with a compatible power meter at a moderate level of intensity for several minutes to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate.
On the device, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number, description, and position on the color gauge. On your Garmin Connect account, you can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate, such as where it ranks for your age and sex.

| Purple| Superior
---|---|---
| Blue| Excellent
| Green| Good
| Orange| Fair
| Red| Poor

About Training Effect
Training Effect measures the impact of an activity on your aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Training Effect accumulates during the activity. As the activity progresses, the Training Effect value increases. Training Effect is determined by your user profile information and training history, and heart rate, duration, and intensity of your activity. There are seven different Training Effect labels to describe the primary benefit of your activity. Each label is color coded and corresponds to your training load focus (Training Load Focus, page 48). Each feedback phrase, for example, “Highly Impacting VO2 Max.” has a corresponding description in your Garmin Connect activity details.
Aerobic Training Effect uses your heart rate to measure how the accumulated intensity of an exercise affects your aerobic fitness and indicates if the workout had a maintaining or improving effect on your fitness level. Your excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) accumulated during exercise is mapped to a range of values that account for your fitness level and training habits. Steady workouts at moderate effort or workouts involving longer intervals (>180 sec) have a positive impact on your aerobic metabolism and result in an improved aerobic Training Effect.
Anaerobic Training Effect uses heart rate and speed (or power) to determine how a workout affects your ability to perform at very high intensity. You receive a value based on the anaerobic contribution to EPOC and the type of activity. Repeated high-intensity intervals of 10 to 120 seconds have a highly beneficial impact on your anaerobic capability and result in an improved anaerobic Training Effect.
You can add Aerobic Training Effect and Anaerobic Training Effect as data fields to one of your training screens to monitor your numbers throughout the activity.

Training Effect	Aerobic Benefit	Anaerobic Benefit
From 0.0 to 0.9	No benefit.	No benefit.
From 1.0 to 1.9	Minor benefit.	Minor benefit.
From 2.0 to 2.9	Maintains your aerobic fitness.	Maintains your anaerobic

fitness.
From 3.0 to 3.9| Impacts your aerobic fitness.| Impacts your anaerobic fitness.
From 4.0 to 4.9| Highly impacts your aerobic fitness.| Highly impacts your anaerobic fitness.
5.0| Overreaching and potentially harmful without enough recovery time.| Overreaching and potentially harmful without enough recovery time.

Training Effect technology is provided and supported by Firstbeat Analytics. For more information, go to firstbeat.com.

Heart Rate Variability Status
Your watch analyzes your wrist heart rate readings while you are sleeping to determine your heart rate variability (HRV). Training, physical activity, sleep, nutrition, and healthy habits all impact your heart rate variability. HRV values can vary widely based on gender, age, and fitness level. A balanced HRV status may indicate positive signs of health such as good training and recovery balance, greater cardiovascular fitness, and resilience to stress. An unbalanced or poor status may be a sign of fatigue, greater recovery needs, or increased stress. For best results, you should wear the watch while sleeping. The watch requires three weeks of consistent sleep data to display your heart rate variability status.

Color Zone	Status	Description
Green	Balanced	Your seven-day average HRV is within your baseline range.
Orange	Unbalanced	Your seven-day average HRV is above or below your baseline

range.
Red| Low| Your seven-day average HRV is well below your baseline range.
No color| Poor
No status| Your HRV values are averaging well below the normal range for your age.
No status means that there is insufficient data to generate a seven-day average.

You can sync your watch with your Garmin Connect account to view your current heart rate variability status, rends, and educational feedback.
Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level
Stress level is the result of a three-minute test performed while standing still, where the fēnix device analyzes heart rate variability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact how a runner performs. The stress level range is from 1 to 100, where 1 is a very low stress state and 100 is a very high stress state. Knowing your stress level can help you decide if your body is ready for a tough training run or yoga.

Viewing Your Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level
This feature requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. Before you can view your heart rate variability (HRV) stress level, you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 100).
TIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress level at approximately the same time and under the same conditions every day.

If necessary, press , and select Add > HRV Stress to add the stress app to the apps list.
Select Yes to add the app to your list of favorites.
From the watch face, press , select HRV Stress, and press .
Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes.

Performance Condition
As you complete your activity, such as running or cycling, the performance condition feature analyzes your pace, heart rate, and heart rate variability to make a real-time assessment of your ability to perform compared to your average fitness level. It is approximately your real-time percentage deviation from your baseline VO2 max. estimate.
Performance condition values range from -20 to +20. After the first 6 to 20 minutes of your activity, the device displays your performance condition score. For example, a score of +5 means that you are rested, fresh, and capable of a good run or ride. You can add performance condition as a data field to one of your training screens to monitor your ability throughout the activity. Performance condition can also be an indicator of fatigue level, especially at the end of a long training run or ride.
NOTE: The device requires a few runs or rides with a heart rate monitor to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate and learn about your running or riding ability (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 39).

Viewing Your Performance Condition
This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor.

Add Performance Condition to a data screen (Customizing the Data Screens, page 82).
Go for a run or ride.
After 6 to 20 minutes, your performance condition appears.
Scroll to the data screen to view your performance condition throughout the run or ride.

Lactate Threshold
Lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate (lactic acid) starts to accumulate in the bloodstream. In running, it is the estimated level of effort or pace. When a runner exceeds the threshold, fatigue starts to increase at an accelerating rate. For experienced runners, the threshold occurs at approximately 90% of their maximum heart rate and between 10k and half-marathon race pace. For average runners, the lactate threshold often occurs well below 90% of maximum heart rate. Knowing your lactate threshold can help you determine how hard to train or when to push yourself during a race.
If you already know your lactate threshold heart rate value, you can enter it in your user profile settings (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 53). You can turn on the Auto Detection feature to automatically record your lactate threshold during an activity.

Performing a Guided Test to Determine Your Lactate Threshold
This feature requires a Garmin chest heart rate monitor. Before you can perform the guided test, you must put on a heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 100).
The device uses your user profile information from the initial setup and your VO2 max. estimate to estimate your lactate threshold. The device will automatically detect your lactate threshold during runs at a steady, high intensity with heart rate.
TIP: The device requires a few runs with a chest heart rate monitor to get an accurate maximum heart rate value and VO2 max. estimate. If you are having trouble getting a lactate threshold estimate, try manually lowering your maximum heart rate value.

From the watch face, select .
Select an outdoor running activity.
GPS is required to complete the test.
Hold MENU.

Training Status
These measurements are estimates that can help you track and understand your training activities. The measurements require a few activities using wrist- based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor.
Cycling performance measurements require a heart rate monitor and a power meter.
These estimates are provided and supported by Firstbeat Analytics. For more information, go to garmin.com/performance-data/running.NOTE: The estimates may seem inaccurate at first. The watch requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance.
Training status: Training status shows you how your training affects your fitness and performance. Your training status is based on changes to your VO2 max., acute load, and HRV status over an extended time period.
VO2 max.: VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance (About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 39). Your watch displays heat and altitude corrected VO2 max. values when you are acclimating to high heat environments or high altitude (Heat and Altitude Performance Acclimation, page 48).
Acute load: Acute load is a weighted sum of your recent exercise load scores including exercise duration and intensity. (Acute Load, page 48).
Training load focus: Your watch analyzes and distributes your training load into different categories based on the intensity and structure of each activity recorded. Training load focus includes the total load accumulated per category, and the focus of the training. Your watch displays your load distribution over the last 4 weeks (Training Load Focus, page 48).
Recovery time: The recovery time displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout (Recovery Time, page 48).
Training Status Levels
Training status shows you how your training affects your fitness level and performance. Your training status is based on changes to your VO2 max., acute load, and HRV status over an extended time period. You can use your training status to help plan future training and continue improving your fitness level.
No Status: The watch needs at least one activity per week, with VO2 max. results from running or cycling, to determine your training status.
Detraining: You have a break in your training routine or you are training much less than usual for a week or more. Detraining means that you are unable to maintain your fitness level. You can try increasing your training load to see improvement.
Recovery: Your lighter training load is allowing your body to recover, which is essential during extended periods of hard training. You can return to a higher training load when you feel ready.
Maintaining: Your current training load is enough to maintain your fitness level. To see improvement, try adding more variety to your workouts or increasing your training volume.
Productive: Your current training load is moving your fitness level and performance in the right direction. You should plan recovery periods into your training to maintain your fitness level.
Peaking: You are in ideal race condition. Your recently reduced training load is allowing your body to recover and fully compensate for earlier training. You should plan ahead, since this peak state can only be maintained for a short time.
Overreaching: Your training load is very high and counterproductive. Your body needs a rest. You should give yourself time to recover by adding lighter training to your schedule.
Unproductive: Your training load is at a good level, but your fitness is decreasing. Try focusing on rest, nutrition, and stress management.
Strained: There is imbalance between your recovery and training load. It is a normal result after a hard training or major event. Your body may be struggling to recover, so you should pay attention to your overall health.
Tips for Getting Your Training Status
The training status feature depends on updated assessments of your fitness level, including at least one VO2 max. measurement per week. Your VO2 max. estimate is updated after outdoor runs or rides with power during which your heart rate reached at least 70% of your maximum heart rate for several minutes. Indoor run activities do not generate a VO2 max. estimate in order to preserve the accuracy of your fitness level trend. You can disable VO2 max. recording for ultra run and trail run activities if you do not want those run types to affect your VO2 max. estimate (Turning Off VO2 Max. Recording, page 40).
To get the most out of the training status feature, you can try these tips.

At least one time per week, run or ride outdoors with a power meter, and reach a heart rate higher than 70% of your maximum heart rate for at least 10 minutes.
After using the watch for one week, your training status should be available.
Record all of your fitness activities on your primary training device, allowing your watch to learn about your performance (Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements, page 39).
Wear the watch consistently while you sleep, to continue generating an up-to-date HRV status. Having a valid HRV status can help maintain a valid training status when you do not have as many activities with VO2 max.measurements.

Heat and Altitude Performance Acclimation
Environmental factors such as high temperature and altitude impact your training and performance. For example, high altitude training can have a positive impact on your fitness, but you may notice a temporary VO2 max. decline while exposed to high altitudes. Your fēnix watch provides acclimation notifications and corrections to your VO2 max. estimate and training status when the temperature is above 22ºC (72ºF) and when the altitude is above 800 m (2625 ft.). You can keep track of your heat and altitude acclimation in the training status widget.
NOTE: The heat acclimation feature is available only for GPS activities and requires weather data from your connected phone.
Acute Load
Acute load is a weighted sum of your excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) for the last several days. The gauge indicates whether your current load is low, optimal, high, or very high. The optimal range is based on your individual fitness level and training history. The range adjusts as your training time and intensity increase or decrease.
Training Load Focus
In order to maximize performance and fitness gains, training should be distributed across three categories: low aerobic, high aerobic, and anaerobic. Training load focus shows you how much of your training is currently in each category and provides training targets. Training load focus requires at least 7 days of training to determine if your training load is low, optimal, or high. After 4 weeks of training history, your training load estimate will have more detailed target information to help you balance your training activities.
Below targets: Your training load is lower than optimal in all intensity categories. Try increasing the duration or frequency of your workouts.
Low aerobic shortage: Try adding more low aerobic activities to provide recovery and balance for your higher intensity activities.
High aerobic shortage: Try adding more high aerobic activities to help improve your lactate threshold and VO2 max. over time.
Anaerobic shortage: Try adding a few more intense, anaerobic activities to improve your speed and anaerobic capacity over time.
Balanced: Your training load is balanced and provides all-around fitness benefits as you continue training.
Low aerobic focus: Your training load is mostly low aerobic activity. This provides a solid foundation and prepares you for adding more intense workouts.
High aerobic focus: Your training load is mostly high aerobic activity. These activities help to improve lactate threshold, VO2 max., and endurance.
Anaerobic focus: Your training load is mostly intense activity. This leads to rapid fitness gains, but should be balanced with low aerobic activities.
Above targets: Your training load is higher than optimal, and you should consider scaling back the duration and frequency of your workouts.
Recovery Time
You can use your Garmin device with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for the next hard workout.
NOTE: The recovery time recommendation uses your VO2 max. estimate and may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires you to complete a few activities to learn about your performance.
The recovery time appears immediately following an activity. The time counts down until it is optimal for you to attempt another hard workout. The device updates your recovery time throughout the day based on changes in sleep, stress, relaxation, and physical activity.
Viewing Your Recovery Time
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile, page 52), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones, page 53).

Go for a run.
After your run, select Save.

The recovery time appears. The maximum time is 4 days.
NOTE: From the watch face, you can select UP or DOWN to view the training status widget, and select to scroll through the metrics to view your recovery time.
Recovery Heart Rate
If you are training with wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor, you can check your recovery heart rate value after each activity. Recovery heart rate is the difference between your exercising heart rate and your heart rate two minutes after the exercise has stopped. For example, after a typical training run, you stop the timer. Your heart rate is 140 bpm. After two minutes of no activity or cool down, your heart rate is 90 bpm. Your recovery heart rate is 50 bpm (140 minus 90). Some studies have linked recovery heart rate to cardiac health. Higher numbers generally indicate healthier hearts.
TIP: For best results, you should stop moving for two minutes while the device calculates your recovery heart rate value.
Body Battery™
Your device analyzes your heart rate variability, stress level, sleep quality, and activity data to determine your overall Body Battery level. Like a gas gauge on a car, it indicates your amount of available reserve energy. The Body Battery level range is from 0 to 100, where 0 to 25 is low reserve energy, 26 to 50 is medium reserve energy, 51 to 75 is high reserve energy, and 76 to 100 is very high reserve energy.
You can sync your device with your Garmin Connect account to view your most up-to-date Body Battery level, long-term trends, and additional details (Tips for Improved Body Battery Data, page 49).

Pulse Oximeter

Your watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the peripheral saturation of oxygen in your blood (SpO2).
As your altitude increases, the level of oxygen in your blood can decrease. Knowing your oxygen saturation can help you determine how your body is acclimating to high altitudes for alpine sport and expedition. You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading by viewing the pulse oximeter widget (Getting Pulse Oximeter Readings, page 51). You can also turn on all-day readings (Turning On All-Day Pulse Oximeter Readings, page 51). When you view the pulse oximeter widget while you are not moving, your watch analyzes your oxygen saturation and your elevation. The elevation profile helps indicate how your pulse oximeter readings are changing, relative to your to elevation.
On the watch, your pulse oximeter reading appears as an oxygen saturation percentage and color on the graph.
On your Garmin Connect account, you can view additional details about your pulse oximeter readings, including trends over multiple days.

Fitness Goals
Knowing your heart rate zones can help you measure and improve your fitness by understanding and applying these principles.

Your heart rate is a good measure of exercise intensity.
Training in certain heart rate zones can help you improve cardiovascular capacity and strength.

If you know your maximum heart rate, you can use the table (Heart Rate Zone Calculations, page 54) to determine the best heart rate zone for your fitness objectives.
If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate. The default maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age.
About Heart Rate Zones
Many athletes use heart rate zones to measure and increase their cardiovascular strength and improve their level of fitness. A heart rate zone is a set range of heartbeats per minute. The five commonly accepted heart rate zones are numbered from 1 to 5 according to increasing intensity. Generally, heart rate zones are calculated based on percentages of your maximum heart rate.
Setting Your Heart Rate Zones
The watch uses your user profile information from the initial setup to determine your default heart rate zones. You can set separate heart rate zones for sport profiles, such as running, cycling, and swimming. For the most accurate calorie data during your activity, set your maximum heart rate. You can also set each heart rate zone and enter your resting heart rate manually. You can manually adjust your zones on the watch or using your Garmin Connect account.

HRM-Pro Running Pace and Distance
The HRM-Pro series accessory calculates your running pace and distance based on your user profile and the motion measured by the sensor on every stride. The heart rate monitor provides running pace and distance when GPS is not available, such as during treadmill running. You can view your running pace and distance on your compatible fēnix watch when connected using ANT+ technology. You can also view it on compatible third-party training apps when connected using Bluetooth technology.
The pace and distance accuracy improves with calibration.
Automatic calibration : The default setting for your watch is Auto Calibrate. The HRM-Pro series accessory calibrates each time you run outside with it connected to your compatible fēnix watch.
NOTE: Automatic calibration does not work for indoor, trail, or ultra run activity profiles (Tips for Recording Running Pace and Distance, page 100).
Manual calibration: You can select Calibrate & Save after a treadmill run with your connected HRM-Pro series accessory (Calibrating the Treadmill Distance, page 9).
Tips for Recording Running Pace and Distance

Update your fēnix watch software (Product Updates, page 4).
Complete several outdoor runs with GPS and your connected HRM-Pro series accessory. It’s important that your outdoor range of paces matches your range of paces on the treadmill.
If your run includes sand or deep snow, go to the sensor settings, and turn off Auto Calibrate.
If you previously connected a compatible foot pod using ANT+ technology, set the foot pod status to Off, or remove it from the list of connected sensors.
Complete a treadmill run with manual calibration (Calibrating the Treadmill Distance, page 9).
If automatic and manual calibrations don’t seem accurate, go to the sensor settings, and select HRM Pace & Distance > Reset Calibration Data.

NOTE: You can try turning off Auto Calibrate, and then manually calibrate again (Calibrating the Treadmill Distance, page 9).
Running Dynamics
You can use your compatible fēnix device paired with the HRM-Pro accessory or other running dynamics accessory to provide real-time feedback about your running form.
The running dynamics accessory has an accelerometer that measures torso movement in order to calculate sixrunning metrics. For more information, go to garmin.com/performance-data/running.
Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute. It displays the total steps (right and left combined).
Vertical oscillation: Vertical oscillation is your bounce while running. It displays the vertical motion of your torso, measured in centimeters.
Ground contact time: Ground contact time is the amount of time in each step that you spend on the ground while running. It is measured in milliseconds.
NOTE: Ground contact time and balance are not available while walking.
Ground contact time balance: Ground contact time balance displays the left/right balance of your ground contact time while running. It displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with an arrow pointing left or right.
Stride length: Stride length is the length of your stride from one footfall to the next. It is measured in meters.
Vertical ratio: Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage. A lower number typically indicates better running form.
Training with Running Dynamics
Before you can view running dynamics, you must put on a running dynamics accessory, such as the HRM-Pro accessory, and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 100).

Hold MENU.
Select Activities & Apps.
Select an activity.
Select the activity settings.
Select Data Screens > Add New.
Select a running dynamics data screen.
NOTE: The running dynamics screens are not available for all activities.
Go for a run (Starting an Activity, page 6).
Select UP or DOWN to open a running dynamics screen to view your metrics.

Color Gauges and Running Dynamics Data
The running dynamics screens display a color gauge for the primary metric. You can display cadence, vertical oscillation, ground contact time, ground contact time balance, or vertical ratio as the primary metric. The color gauge shows you how your running dynamics data compare to those of other runners. The color zones are based on percentiles.
Garmin has researched many runners of all different levels. The data values in the red or orange zones are typical for less experienced or slower runners. The data values in the green, blue, or purple zones are typical for more experienced or faster runners. More experienced runners tend to exhibit shorter ground contact times, lower vertical oscillation, lower vertical ratio, and higher cadence than less experienced runners. However, taller runners typically have slightly slower cadences, longer strides, and slightly higher vertical oscillation. Vertical ratio is your vertical oscillation divided by stride length. It is not correlated with height.
Go to garmin.com/runningdynamics for more information on running dynamics. For additional theories and interpretations of running dynamics data, you can search reputable running publications and websites.

Color Zone| Percentile in Zone| Cadence Range| Ground Contact Time Range
---|---|---|---
Purple| >95| >183 spm| <218 ms
Blue| 70–95| 174–183 spm| 218–248 ms
Green| 30–69| 164–173 spm| 249–277 ms
Orange| 5–29| 153–163 spm| 278–308 ms
Red| <5| <153 spm| >308 ms

Ground Contact Time Balance Data
Ground contact time balance measures your running symmetry and appears as a percentage of your total ground contact time. For example, 51.3% with an arrow pointing left indicates the runner is spending more time on the ground when on the left foot. If your data screen displays both numbers, for example 48–52, 48% is the left foot and 52% is the right foot.

Color Zone	Red	Orange	Green	Orange	Red
Symmetry	Poor	Fair	Good	Fair	Poor
Percent of Other Runners	5%	25%	40%	25%	5%
Ground Contact Time Balance	>52.2% L	50.8–52.2% L	50.7% L–50.7% R

While developing and testing running dynamics, the Garmin team found correlations between injuries and greater imbalances with certain runners. For many runners, ground contact time balance tends to deviate further from 50–50 when running up or down hills. Most running coaches agree that a symmetrical running form is good. Elite runners tend to have quick and balanced strides.
You can watch the gauge or data field during your run or view the summary on your Garmin Connect account after your run. As with the other running dynamics data, ground contact time balance is a quantitative measurement to help you learn about your running form.
Vertical Oscillation and Vertical Ratio Data
The data ranges for vertical oscillation and vertical ratio are slightly different depending on the sensor and whether it is positioned at the chest (HRM-Pro, HRM-Run ™ , or HRM-Tri accessories) or at the waist (Running Dynamics Pod accessory).

Color Zone| Percentile in Zone| Vertical Oscillation Range at Chest| Vertical Oscillation
Range at Waist| Vertical Ratio at Chest| Vertical Ratio at Waist
---|---|---|---|---|---
Purple| >95| <6.4 cm| <6.8 cm| <6.1%| <6.5%
Blue| 70–95| 6.4–8.1 cm| 6.8–8.9 cm| 6.1–7.4%| 6.5–8.3%
Green| 30–69| 8.2–9.7 cm| 9.0–10.9 cm| 7.5–8.6%| 8.4–10.0%
Orange| 5–29| 9.8–11.5 cm| 11.0–13.0 cm| 8.7–10.1%| 10.1–11.9%
Red| <5| >11.5 cm| >13.0 cm| >10.1%| >11.9%

Tips for Missing Running Dynamics Data
If running dynamics data does not appear, you can try these tips.

Make sure you have a running dynamics accessory, such as the HRM-Pro accessory.
Accessories with running dynamics have on the front of the module.
Pair the running dynamics accessory with your watch again, according to the instructions.
If you are using the HRM-Pro accessory, pair it with your watch using ANT+ technology, rather than Bluetooth technology.
If the running dynamics data display shows only zeros, make sure the accessory is worn right-side up.

NOTE: Ground contact time and balance appears only while running. It is not calculated while walking.
