With conditioning there are other factors that play a role in the energy system development of young athletes and an assessment of resting heart rate, heart rate reserve, anaerobic threshold, as well
as recovery heart rate is just the beginning.
In WatchOS 4, Apple will be more focused on heart health, measuring things like resting heart rate and
recovery heart rate after workouts.
This will include resting heart rate reading, as well
as recovery heart rate, giving you better data on your fitness.
The study was just eight weeks long and small, but they've already found small improvements in resting and
recovery heart rate — two preliminary measures of heart health.
The fitness assessment includes: girth measurements, body fat percentage (using calipers), cardiovascular fitness (resting and
recovery heart rate and blood pressure), strength tests, and flexibility tests.
The fitness assessment includes: girth measurements, body fat percentage (using professional calipers), cardiovascular fitness (resting and
recovery heart rate and blood pressure), strength, and flexibility.
Any Apple Watch with heart rate sensors will now record your resting heart rate, your average walking heart rate,
your recovery heart rate, and, if you opt in, any spikes in heart rate that occur when the Watch thinks you're not working out.
Updates to the heart rate app will now show more information, including resting heart rate,
recovery heart rate and a more detailed chart of heart rate data throughout the day.
