As with the other running dynamics data, ground contact time balance is a quantitative measurement to help you learn about your running form. Vertical Oscillation and Vertical Ratio Data The data ranges for vertical oscillation and vertical ratio are slightly different depending on the sensor and whether it is positioned at the chest (HRM-Tri or HRM-Run™ accessories) or at the waist (Running Dynamics Pod accessory).

The device can automatically detect your maximum heart rate and lactate threshold during an activity. When paired with a compatible power meter, the device can automatically detect your functional threshold power (FTP) during an activity. NOTE: The device detects a maximum heart rate only when your heart rate is higher than the value set in your user profile. 1 Hold MENU. 2 Select Physiological Metrics > Auto Detection. 3 Select an option. Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements You can sync activities and performance measurements from other Garmin devices to your fēnix 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 ride with an Edge device, and view your activity details and overall training load on your fēnix device. 1 Hold MENU. 2 Select Physiological Metrics > TrueUp. When you sync your device with your smartphone, recent activities and performance measurements from your other Garmin devices appear on your fēnix device. About VO2 Max. Estimates VO2 max. is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. In simple terms, VO2 max. is an indication of athletic performance and should increase as your level of fitness improves. The fēnix device requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor to display your VO2 max. estimate. The device has separate VO2 max. estimates for running and cycling. You must run either outside with GPS or ride with a compatible power meter at a moderate level of intensity for several minutes to get an accurate VO2 max. estimate. On the device, your VO2 max. estimate appears as a number, description, and position on the color gauge. On your Garmin Connect account, you can view additional details about your VO2 max. estimate, including your fitness age. Your fitness age gives you an idea of how your fitness compares with a person of 16 Heart Rate Features
