Viewing Your Stress Score
Before you can view your stress score, you must put on a chest heart rate monitor and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors).
Stress score is the result of a three-minute test performed while standing still, where the Edge device analyzes heart rate variability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact how an athlete performs. The stress score range is 1 to 100, where 1 is a very low stress state, and 100 is a very high stress state. Knowing your stress score can help you decide if your body is ready for a tough workout or yoga.
TIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress score at approximately the same time and under the same conditions every day.
- Select My Stats > Stress Score > Measure.
- Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes.
