GLOSSARY - HOW TO UNDERSTAND YOUR DATA

Heart Rate: This metric represents the number of heartbeats per minute. With the Hexoskin, the value of the heart

rate is updated every second. For each recording and/or activity, the heart rate maximal (highest detected), minimal (lowest detected) and average are calculated. eee

Unit: BPM = Beat per minute e

Heart Rate Recovery (HRR): This metric estimates the decrease of the heart rate in one minute following a peak

intensity exercise. A high HRR is associated with good cardiovascular function. Regular aerobic training can help you increase your HRR. You can measure your HRR by performing the fitness test “400m Maximal Sprint Test”.

Maximal Heart Rate (HRmax): Indicates the highest heart rate a person can achieve during a maximal exercise.

The value depends mainly on age, genetics, exercise type, and medication. By identifying your HRmax, you can determine your appropriate training zone. You can measure your HRmax by performing the fitness test “400m Maximal Sprint Test”. eeee eeeeee

Heart Rate: Reports the lowest heart rate value measured awake, lying down, fully relaxed, and undistracted. This

metric is affected by the fitness level, age, and genetic background. It is possible to lower your HRrest resting heart rate with cardiovascular training. Endurance athletes can have a resting heart rate as low as 30 BPM. You can measure your HRrest by performing the fitness test “5 minutes Rest Test”. eeee

Range: 72-80BPM for women and 64-72 for men. d

GLOSSARY - HOW TO UNDERSTAND YOUR DATA

Breathing Rate (Br. Rate): This measure counts the number of full-breathing cycles (inspiration and expiration) per

minute. With the Hexoskin, the value of the breathing rate is updated every second. For each recording and/or activity, the breathing rate maximal (highest detected), minimal (lowest detected), and average are calculated.

Range: as low as 6 RPM during sleep, 12-16 RPM at rest and up to 70 RPM during high intensity exercises Unit: RPM = Respiration per minute

eee

VO2max: This measure reports the rate of oxygen consumption during a maximal aerobic exercise (where energy

production depends mainly on oxygen availability) involving a large part of total muscle mass (e.g. biking or running). VO

2max is considered one of the best indicators of cardiorespiratory fitness and endurance capacity.

Hexoskin measures a VO

2max predictive value. You can measure your VO2max by performing the fitness test “12

minute Run Fitness Test”. ee

Heart Rate Variability (HRV): This metric measures the variation in the time interval between heartbeats. Hexoskin

measures heart rate (HR) and its natural variances from beat to beat. HRV depends on external or internal stimuli such as emotions, heat, respiration, sleep, and physical exertion. Hexoskin provides HRV data during rest and sleep. The higher HRV, the better your body tolerates stress and/or recovers from it. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Cadence: Counts the number of steps per minute. A fast cadence reduces loading forces on the body, possibly

eliminating or minimizing common running-associated pain, including pain in the knees, in the Achilles tendon, in the plantar fascia, in the lateral hips, in the lower back or in the shin splints. ddd e

Dashboard, where you can manage your account’s preferences and export all your raw data to make further analysis. Furthermore,

some of your demographics are essential for the calculation of different metrics, such as the energy expenditure, for example. Finally, with your account, you can share your data with your family and friends. K

Q: Can I use Hexoskin without a smartphone or tablet?

A: You can use your Hexoskin without a smartphone or a tablet. Your Hexoskin recording device will record your activities passively.

You can then transfer your data to your computer using the provided USB cable. The use of a smartphone or a tablet allows you to monitor real-time data on your heart rate, respiratory volume and rate, and your activity. You can also name the activity, time it, and add annotations on the go. As GPS data is provided by your smartphone, no location data will be recorded if you are not using Hexoskin with your phone or tablet. K

Q: Where is my data stored during a recording?
