Firstbeat Feature
Training Loads
TRIMP – This popular metric increases according to exertion intensity throughout the session. The harder an athlete works, the faster their TRIMP score grows.
Training Effect: Aerobic – See how a session will impact the development of aerobic performance capacity, measurable in terms of VO2max – Firstbeat White Paper.
Training Effect: Anaerobic — See how a session will impact the development of anaerobic performance capacity, like short bursts of high-intensity activity – Firstbeat White Paper.
EPOC – Measure physical activity in terms of the amount of work the body will perform to restore itself and adapt in preparation for the next challenge – Firstbeat White Paper.
Training Load – Track the total impact of physical activity over the most recent 7-day period.
Energy Expenditure: Oxygen consumption based intensity tracking results in enhanced accuracy for calorie counts – Firstbeat White Paper.
Automatically created individual and group feedback reports provide you with all the information you need about a specific session in one place.
