aerobic decoupling
-
I have been using S+ aerobic decoupling for my running and walking activities and everything works as expected…
however, it seems that for the nordic walking and treadmill activities it does not work, i.e. if you activate it, start the activity, as soon as you select the aerobic decoupling page the watch displays a warning:power not available, pair power sensor for measurements.
I know that power is used when it is available, but otherwise pace is used, so if I am not missing something it should work.
or not?

@robis Power or pace is used according to activity type. Power is used for example for cycling, but it should not be used for nordic walking. We will fix it, thank you for reporting it.

@Brad_Olwin Can you please explain this a little more?

@wakarimasen If I am maintaining aerobic metabolism below my aerobic threshold the S+ app will show good or a green number. If I an going too hard it will show red in real time.

Thanks @Brad_Olwin - that’s clear. Does this depend on the heart rate established during the reference period? I tried this app during a walk earlier in the week and saw negative and positive percentage values following the baseline being established.

Assuming that entire run (including base evaluation time) has a constant grade. Else, not really because math and stuff.

I can’t get this S+ app to work properly on my S9B. I tried it when it was first introduced and then didn’t use it for long. Now I’m experiencing all kinds of issues with it. First I wasn’t able to activate it on the watch (when I tried to select it, the selection reverted to ‘none’). Then after a soft reset I could activate it, but had a crash during the run. Tried to reinstall the S+ app, then also the suunto app on my phone, but still have issues. Now I can select it, but the S+ screen is blank (while other S+ apps’ screen isn’t). Anyone else having issues?

I recently ran into this problem. Sometimes the GPS behaves strangely for known or unknown reasons (probably because I was under a 380kV power line…), and as shown in the image, where the speed suddenly went from ~7 to ~23 km/h (and then later from 7 to 14km/h) for several seconds, the decoupling recording was compromised. Can anything be done to filter out these spikes in the S+ app?

Using a S9B I cannot get S+ AD app to work for Treadmill activities. It works well for Run activities though: live Good/High green/red labels and % change on the watch after warm-up and baseline evaluation, and reasonable max/final 5-min rolling avg values and charts in SA.
For Treadmill activities I can select the AD app and start recording, warm-up and baseline show the countdown in the dedicated screen on the watch as usual, but from 20’ on I get a fixed screen with the High red label and dashes for % change. SA gets the laps (10’, 10’, and the rest), but there’s no record of decoupling at all. @Raimo-Järvi, could you report or look into this?
It’d be great–for the incline/speed (constant external) established during warm-up and settled as baseline for the activity–to see whether or not and when my HR (internal) decouples. Despite pace being off-the-mark on a treadmill, especially at an incline, the internal to constant external ratio can be a great indicator, and a treadmill provides repeatability for progress assessment.
I’d appreciate your comments, @Brad_Olwin.

@JVallS Unfortunately I don’t work for Suunto any more, so I can’t do anything to fix this. I guess Aerobic decoupling app requires a power sensor for Treadmill activities, were you using one?
