Heat and Altitude Performance Acclimation
Environmental factors such as high temperature and altitude impact your training and performance. For
example, high altitude training can have a positive impact on your fitness, but you may notice a temporary
VO2 max. decline while exposed to high altitudes. Your quatix watch provides acclimation notifications and
corrections to your VO2 max. estimate and training status when the temperature is above 22ºC (72ºF) and when
the altitude is above 800 m (2625 ft.). You can keep track of your heat and altitude acclimation in the training
status glance.
NOTE: The heat acclimation feature is available only for GPS activities and requires weather data from your
connected phone.
Pausing and Resuming Your Training Status
If you are injured or sick, you can pause your training status. You can continue to record fitness activities,
but your training status, training load focus, recovery feedback, and workout recommendations are temporarily
disabled.
You can resume your training status when you are ready to start training again. For best results, you need at
least one VO2 max. measurement each week (
About VO2 Max. Estimates, page 61
).
