Automatically Calculating FTP Before the device can calculate your functional threshold power (FTP), you must have a paired power meter and heart rate monitor (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 15). 1 Select Menu > My Stats > FTP > Enable Auto Calculation. 2 Ride at a steady, high intensity for at least 20 minutes outdoors. 3 After your ride, select Save Ride. 4 Select Menu > My Stats > FTP. Your FTP appears as a value measured in watts per kilogram, your power output in watts, and a position on the color gauge. Viewing Your Stress Score Before you can view your stress score, you must put on a chest heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 15). Stress score is the result of a three-minute test performed while standing still, where the Edge device analyzes heart rate variability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact how an athlete performs. The stress score range is 1 to 100, where 1 is a very low stress state, and 100 is a very high stress state. Knowing your stress score can help you decide if your body is ready for a tough workout or yoga. TIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress score at approximately the same time and under the same conditions every day. 1 Select Menu > My Stats > Stress Score > Measure. 2 Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes. Turning Off Performance Notifications Performance notifications are turned on by default. Some performance notifications are alerts that appear upon completion of your activity. Some performance notifications appear during an activity or when you achieve a new performance measurement, such as a new VO2 max. estimate. 1 Select Menu > My Stats > Performance Notifications. 2 Select an option. Viewing Your Power Curve Before you can view your power curve, you must pair your power meter with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors, page 15). The power curve displays your sustained power output over time. You can view your power curve for the previous month, three months, or twelve months. 1 Select Menu > My Stats > Power Curve. 2 Select a time period. Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements You can sync activities and performance measurements from other Garmin devices to your Edge 530 device using your Garmin Connect account. This allows your device to more accurately reflect your training status and fitness. For example, you can record a run with a Forerunner® device, and view your activity details and overall training load on your Edge 530 device. 1 Select Menu > My Stats > Training Status. 2 Hold , and select Physio TrueUp. When you sync your device with your smartphone, recent activities and performance measurements from your other Garmin devices appear on your Edge 530 device. Personal Records When you complete a ride, the device displays any new personal records you achieved during that ride. Personal records include your fastest time over a standard distance, longest ride, and most ascent gained during a ride. When paired with a compatible power meter, the device displays the maximum power reading recorded during a 20-minute period. Viewing Your Personal Records Select Menu > My Stats > Personal Records.
