How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Peak Heart Rate After Round = 180, Heart Rate at 1 Minute Rest = 145, Heart Rate at 2 Minutes Rest = 120, Age = 28 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate 1-Minute Recovery
    1-Minute Recovery
    35 = 35
  3. Calculate Fitness Score
    75 = 75
  4. Calculate 2-Minute Recovery
    2-Minute Recovery
    60 = 60
  5. Calculate Recovery Rating
    Good — above average recovery = Good — above average recovery
