My wife and I have been trying this for the past 3 or 4 weeks. The "avg heart rate" measure changes, but the "recovery time" is always 2:09, regardless of who's doing it. What does that mean?|||Probably just a really big coincidence I would guess. My girlfriend and I both have had different results every time we've done it.|||The test takes your heart rate up to zone 5 and then times how long it takes your HR to recover to zone 1, at least that is what I think is happening from my observations. I believe that if your heart rate isn't down into zone 1 buy 2:09 it will timeout and give you 2:09 as the default. I am in the same boat and have not gotten it under 2 minutes yet either.|||Last week my heart rate recovery was 1:40 and today it went down to 0:20.|||Is there a graph or table to help visualise what the recovery time means as a fitness level?|||The explantion is in your console. Look under help and settings.
NotThePest|||Thanks, I'll have a look
|||Thanks for the response! I guess we just need to work out even more and get it below the 2min mark.|||As you become fitter, your heart will become stronger, your average pluse rate, both resting and active, will decrease. By the way, the main reason your heart rate increases when you are doing exercise is not because you are exercising but because your body is demanding more oxegen to function in an exercise state. The greater your oxygen deficit, the greater your heart rate. If you go to Google scholar and do some looking up of research papers, you can get some info but you will need a medical dictionary by your side. I have a book Handbook of Exercise in Diabetes, that is full of info about what happens when you exercise in a disease and non-disease state.

|||Also, as you get fitter your recovery time should go down faster too. The idea of the resistance test is to do max effort about 2 minutes and then see how much time you need to get to a rest heart rate.
More training should mean shorter recovery time on the long term.
