With Training Effect, you can be sure that your workouts have the intended result.

In zone training, you try to keep your heart rate at a certain level throughout the whole workout. With Training Effect you just need to reach the desired target once during training. Training Effect Result 1. 0-1. 9 Minor Description Improves recovery ability; in longer sessions (over one hour) also improves basic endurance. Requires 2-3 recovery sessions (TE 1-2) per week. 2. 0-2. 9 3. 0-3. 9 4. 0-4. 9 Maintaining Improving Highly improving 26 Training Effect Result 5. 0 Over-reaching Description Extremely high effect on aerobic performance if adequate recovery allowed; should not be done often. en NOTE: It is important to note that the numerical TE values do not mean that a workout with a lower numerical value is somehow worse or less significant than a workout with a high value. TIP: Training Effect is an advanced feature and can help you in many ways. More details about TE can be found in the Suunto Training Guide, available for download at suunto. com/training.
