Suunto recovery status always low
-
We recommend performing the test in the morning after waking up. This helps ensure you get comparable results day to day.
You need to perform three tests while you are feeling well recovered and have no accumulated recovery time to calibrate the test algorithm.
The calibration tests do not need to be done in sequence, but they need to be at least 12 hours apart.
During this calibration period, you may get results that are higher or lower than expected. These results are indicated in the watch as your estimated recovery status until the calibration is completed.The above text is from Ambit3 Vertical user guide.

@andrasveres I let the movescount rest rate value as it is (47)…since even if i set it manually to 60…it is then changed automatically after watch synch, to 47…probably this is the lowest HR counted during my sleep test.
During the second quick test, (second calibration) I get an 89% recovery status.
I always do the tests after night sleep, and only from day to day.I believe that the “service reset” did the job
Let’s see what it will saw after the calibration tests.

@andrasveres I got my Ambit 3 Peak in 2016 and did the calibration of sleep test and quick recovery test in 2016. Since then I used the quick recovery test before hard training sessions if I feel tired. If recovery is above 50% I go for the training if its lower I recover. Now my question is, can I calibrate the recovery tests again? Due to increased overall fitnes I think recalibtration would make sense.

@marcrie sure if you feel that is way off. I use recovery time and recovery status too, but I don’t take it as exact science. Just like running performance, I take it as a guide, but mostly I take “action” by how I feel.

@isazi great article! thx a lot for this one !
A nice perk came up, from a simple post about suunto recovery status -
@dbefas you’re welcome!

@andrasveres For me it’s just a useful Tool if I have doubts to do the Workouts. And in my case I made good experience with it. But if I look seriously on the recovery time after the workout I don‘t trust, especialy after bike workouts. The recovery time here is often to long.

Do i understand correct to calibrate the test ?
- need to be fully recovered;
- need to do 3 sleep tests (3 nights);
Can i do the sleep test and the the quick test after it (in the morning after sleep test - not 12 hours between those)? and repeat 3 consecutive nights?
PS: i use ambit3 peak + HRM smart sensor

@aqzaxs The text I posted was referring to quick test, but mostly is the same for sleep test too. Both test don’t need to be taken in sequence, however not sure about taking quick test right after the sleep test in the morning. The 12 hour distance is only mentioned at quick test so I guess it should be fine, but never tried that way. I used just the quick test. However, make sure before you take any of the test that you don’t have recovery time accumulated.

@andrasveres thx.
after read this topic and Ambit’s 3 user guide have another question:
do i need to leave the lower HR as rest HR in movescount after calibration (sleep test)? -
is the calibration test just to detect the lowest/rest HR?
is the same thing as i set the rest HR value in movescount? -
@aqzaxs I kept the lowest HR on whichever value the calibration test updated. I don’t think these test are only to detect the lowest value, hence there is a clear calibration result in the service menu, it also detect and store more data in the watch that is not visible for us. Maybe someone knows more about it, I surely don’t.
Can’t recall exactly, but if you modify the value through Movescount then after you sync your watch the tests will return calibration phase (not 100% sure though).
