Developing Fitness
The demands from training performance have traditionally been measured in a number of ways eg heartbeat/subjective feedback. Optima-life using Firstbeat SPORTS takes away the guesswork and subjectivity often surrounding preparation, by supplying the coach and athlete with objective data that can then be used to evaluate completed training sessions and help in planning future ones.
The reports give accurate data relating to accumulated excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), heart rate, VO2max, and Training Effect. The science used to create the reports has been validated in numerous research papers.
