recording a training session, the FT7 analyses your current condition and, if necessary, will adjust the
intensities accordingly.
This intelligent training computer can detect your body's daily state from your heart rate and heart rate
variability. When your body is recovered from previous training sessions and is not tired or stressed, then
you are prepared for more intensive training.
The effect of your training is displayed on the wrist unit in real time. The fat-burning and fitness intensity
zones are separated by a vertical dotted line. This line is automatically detected by the FT7, and shifted
according to your current condition.
