Issues with V02 Max registration Suunto 9

isazi

@MoveOrRust I get similar VO2MAX on Garmin and Suunto, and have few reasons to doubt the HR reading with the chest straps I own (although I can spot the errors with the wrist ohr sensors).

@isazi , yeah I’m not sure what’s going on, same heart rate strap on my Garmin and I get a different heart rate recording than using my Suunto 9.

@isazi
when I do warmup before physiotherapie I sometimes compare OHR to the cardio machines HR measured on the handlebars and they are pretty similar. I think with the chest strap it would be almost equal.
That’s why I think my chest measurements are close to very accurate in any situation.

As far as I know, neither sport is contemplated by Firstbeat in the calculation of Vo2, I think because of too many variables that invalidate the calculation, which is already complex.
talking about “normal” athlete between 40 and 80 seems excessive to me, given that Kilian has 89
Wrist heart rate reading is subjective, but the strap normally works well (yes, when it works: -d)
The data are not only affected by heart rate, but by resting and maximum beats, age and weight.
Also I believe that, sorry if I insist, in the run, at least the flat one, the values are as close as possible to reality as the variables are greatly reduced,

@TELE-HO Firstbeat algorithms love tempo run and intensity. I think 50 aerobic 30 tempo 20 above zone 4 is what they love.

If you have a heavier in your weight than the medium or you are doing base the VO2max will be lower.

Another example if you do polarized training the algorithms of first beat are useless.

@Saketo-Nemo my HR works fine so thats not the issue. The screen with V02 just looks like it did from
The beginning when I started the watch for the first time, even though I’ve registered a lot of different exercises. Running, power walking, swimming, CrossFit etc…

@filipsvensson92 you need just running for VO2, the other exercises do not contribute, and walking will provide you VO2MAX levels only after the algorithm is working. Did you have some half a hour or so runs, with effort in different HR zones? Did you setup your zones, or at least max and resting heart rate?

@isazi @isazi ok. I’ve been running for 20-30 minutes or so. Only indoor running on a treadmill though. I have set up max HR and reating HR. I haven’t sat up any zones though, can this be the issue?

@filipsvensson92
I think u have to run under gps, not on a tapis

@filipsvensson92 indoors should work

@isazi I checked an old running exercise from the log now and there I can se the different intensity zones. I can also se something called “cadence” 78v/min it says.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
ah !

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@filipsvensson92 thas your cadence.

@Saketo-Nemo
I’m surprised, too… but I don’t run indoors anyway

filipsvensson92

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos do I have to register many running exercises over a shorter time frame to get V02 registered? When I scroll down to the icon it just says: “hold the middle button down to show further instructions” and when I do that just an overall instruction regarding what V02max really is appears…

@filipsvensson92 did you reach a high zone ? It needs lets say a 15minute zone 3 to zone 4 at least workout
