Core Biofeedback Measurement

Heart Rate


This is a true measurement from a sensor and is the core data for all information provided by Garmin watches.


It is incredible how much information can be derived from simply measuring your heart rate. This is analyzed in incredibly complex ways to give meaningful and surprisingly accurate insight into what is happening with your body.


Core Fitness & Performance Metrics

These are core metrics which are widely used in the field of fitness and athletics to measure performance, fitness level, and general health. You will have access to all of this information with the Garmin Forerunner 965. These are also used as part of the Deep Analytics metrics.

HRV (heart rate variability)


HRV is a powerful tool to determine the strain on your body due to training or other sources of stress.


Lactate Threshold (Anaerobic Threshold)


This is the cornerstone indicator of endurance capability, as it is the level at which you begin to rapidly experience muscle fatigue.


VO2 Max


Your VO2 max is your personal cardiorespiratory / aerobic fitness level and the second cornerstone indicator of endurance and performance capability. The largest amount of oxygen your body can consume and use in any period.


Sleep Score


Sleep is a vital piece of your health and fitness. It can have a large impact on performance and recovery.


Stress Score


Stress, like sleep, can have a large impact on performance and recovery. Both from training and life.


EPOC


The short period of time after exercise when your body is returning to rest. A good indicator of the level of strain your body experienced from a run.


Anaerobic Training


Training when your body is in an anaerobic state, or training above the level of VO2 max.


Aerobic Training


Training when your body is in an aerobic state, or training at or below the level of VO2 max.


Deep Analytics

These metrics help to answer questions about how you are managing your training and how your body is responding. This information is critical to making efficient training plans and decisions.
