Body data

The body data changes with your age and fitness level and can be adjusted, updated and tracked via revisions. 

Values such as resting heart rate or weight are important for the effort calculation or the efficiency metrics. 

With Garmin Connect or Withings your body values can be synchronized automatically.

Resting heart rate

Resting heart rate also determines your aerobic capacity and is part of the effort calculation using heart rate.

Weight

Apart from your performance, weight is important for values such as "Specific Power" or "Relative VO2max".

Height

Using your body size, you can determine your optimal cadence in relation to speed in the pace and cadence calculator.

Water, fat and muscle

The ratio of water, fat and muscle to one other is an important indicator of your overall performance capabilities.
