Body Resources Question (Suunto 7)
-
@isazi said in Body Resources Question (Suunto 7):
Body resources is not really about activities, it’s mostly about your heart rate during the rest of the time, and about how you sleep. And it has nothing to do with the app, it’s computed on the watch.
I thought one of the benefits of body resources was so you can see when you might be over training, i.e. depleting more ‘resources’ than recovering over a period of time?
Garmin body battery which I believe is the same thing; on the Garmin website it does say that body battery is depleted after an activity.
-
@wardbo it’s the same thing, that I guess Garmin is overselling. Yes the battery gets depleted after an activity but this is not how you track fitness. The progress tab on the Suunto app is a better way to track fitness and overtraining actually.
The usefulness of the body battery comes mostly from your morning status, i.e. if in the morning it didn’t grow enough and you see that you didn’t recover during the night, there may be something wrong. -
@wardbo and yes, you can send your Garmin recorded activities to the Suunto app, so they can be accounted for fitness and training.

@isazi I have a question about Body Resources: If I not sleep well, Suunto tell me this. For example one day I go to sleep with Body Resources at 0%. On the morning, sleeping bad, I have 19%, I do a short running and on midday I have 39% ¿?
Or the calculation of Body Resources take some hours on the morning?
Maybe I need to read more about Body Resources, thanks! -
@flypg If you had some rest after that run the level of resources can also increase. But I don’t know exactly what happened.
-
@isazi normal activity like work on computer, walk, etc, is considering “rest”, right? Now I can understand a bit more
Thank you! -
@flypg depending on your heart rate, it can be recovery, inactivity, or stress. If it is consider recovery your level increases.
-
@isazi Super clear, thank you again!
-
@flypg and if you walk and move a lot, it can be considered active. Active also depletes the level.
-
@isazi Thank you for the info, I understand how it is meant to work better now.
