It helps you find your Aerobic Threshold (AeT) heart rate. Training at or below this rate is scientifically proven to be the most effective way to increase your endurance.
The heart rate drift test is a method to estimate your AeT without expensive lab equipment. It measures how your heart rate changes during a steady-state run, providing an accuracy comparable to lab tests.
Yes, you need a device that can record your heart rate and running pace (GPS enabled) and sync with the Apple Workout app. If it doesn't pair directly, syncing through Strava may also work.
The app aims for accuracy by using the heart rate drift test, which studies show is nearly as accurate as gas exchange tests. A successful test results in an HR drift between 4.5% - 5.0%.
No, the app specifically integrates with Apple HealthKit to allow users to calculate their HR drift without manual file exports. This integration simplifies the data retrieval process.
The recommended run duration for the heart rate drift test is 1 hour. This includes a 15-minute warm-up and a 1-hour period maintaining your estimated Aerobic Threshold heart rate.
If your HR drift is under 5%, it suggests your heart rate was below your aerobic threshold during the run, meaning you were running too slow. If it's over 5%, your heart rate was above your aerobic threshold, indicating you were running too fast.
Based on the provided data, Aerobic Threshold Calculator is designed for Apple devices, specifically supporting iPhone and iPod. There is no information indicating Android compatibility.
