About Recovery Heart Rate
Heart rate recovery provides an indicator of fitness and training level. As
you become more fit, your heart rate should return more quickly to a lower
heart rate value at the end of your workout, indicating a higher level of
cardiovascular fitness.
Your recovery rate represents the change in your heart rate over a period of
time. You can set your Heart Rate Monitor to record the change in your heart
rate for a 30-second or a 1-, 2-, 5-, or 10-minute period.

A smaller recovery might indicate a need to take a break from training due to
fatigue, illness, or other factors.
As part of your overall health plan, you decide to take a 30-minute walk during
your lunch hour two times a week. To help keep track of time so you do not return
late from your lunch hour, you set the timer to 15 minutes and then set the end
action to CHRONO. After 15 minutes the watch beeps telling you to begin walking
back to your office. The watch moves to Chrono Mode and begins timing. This
helps you determine how much time it takes to return to your office.
