Symboler
Följande symboler finns i träningsdagboken:
= antal fästingar som plockas bort någon dag efter träningen.
= antal stygn som sys efter träningen (2005).
= länk till GPX-datafil.
= länk till TCX- och FIT-datafil.
Track files
De första GPX-filerna från träningspassen lagrade endast position och höjd. Därefter kompletterades med .TCX filer som även lagrar puls och kadens. Slutligen kom .FIT filer som lagrar alla möjliga data.

Mätvärden
Före GPS-klockan loggades bara tid och distans manuellt. När träningsklockorna kom kan tid och distans läsas ut från GPX filen. När pulsband började användas fick man även medelpuls och max-puls under träningspasset. Med kadensmätarens intåg kan man räkna steg per minut. 2014 kom pulsband med inbyggd accelerometer som kan ge en mängd olika mätvärden, olika för olika sporter.

Distance
Manually read if running on a track with known lenght or automatically recorded by device.
Time
Manually read or automatically recorded by device.
Pulse
Automatically recorded by heart rate monitor connected to device.
Efficiency
Manually calculated as a heartbeat/km value.
Efficiency in b/km = average-heart-rate x total-time / distance where
average-heart-rate is in beats/min
moving-time is in min
distance is in km
Automatically calculated by device.
Cadence
Running cadence recorded by foot pod or by heart rate monitor with integrated accelerometer.
Stride length
Manually calculated based on cadence and time values.
Step-length in cm = average-run-cadence x moving-time / distance / 10 where
average-run-cadence is in strides/min
moving-time is in min
distance is in km
Automatically calculated by device.
Vertical oscillation
Automatically calculated by device.
Ground contact time
Automatically calculated by device.
VO2 Max
Automatically calculated by device. Simply put, VO2 max is a measurement of your body’s max ability to use oxygen at maximum effort. VO2max stands for maximal oxygen uptake and refers to the amount of oxygen your body is capable of utilizing in one minute. It is a measure of your capacity for aerobic work and can be a predictor of your potential as an endurance athlete. Although there are many factors that affect your VO2max, it is a commonly accepted measure of cardio respiratory fitness. VO2 Max Estimator requires the use of a Heart Rate Monitor and will be calculated after the first 10 minutes of your run. It is measured in milliliters.
The FirstBeat Technologies algorithm takes into in account the following variables and inserts them into an algorithm:
Heart Rate Variability + Heart Rate (HR) + Speed + Distance
In order to generate a VO2 max estimate, you must run for a minimum of 10 minutes. Walking in most cases will not provide you with a VO2 Max estimate.
Training effect
Automatically calculated by device. Measures the load applied to the body and displays the impact in relation to the current fitness level. Training Effect is calculated based on user profile, heart rate, and the difficulty of an activity.
SWOLF
Automatically calculated by device. The sum of the time and the number of strokes it takes to swim a pool length. For example, 30 seconds and 10 strokes to swim the length of a pool will equal a SWOLF score of 40. A lower score is better.
Swim efficiency 25m
Automatically calculated by device. The sum of the time and the number of strokes it takes to swim 25 meters. The efficiency index allows comparisons of swimming efficiency to other pools or open water workouts. A lower swim efficiency index is better.
