FitRate
· v2.44.1
About
This app gives percentile rankings and rating of your key fitness metrics. The PRO version gives an overall health/fitness rating based on a more comprehensive set of factors (cardiorespiratory, weight, sleep, stress, diet/nutrition, alcohol/smoking, and environmental air quality).
Warning: This app is only intended for educational purposes and maintaining & encouraging a healthy lifestyle & is NOT intended for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, or treatment of any disease or medical condition.
# Features
* Shows your current VO2max (or heart rate reserve, HRR), resting heart rate (RHR) and BMI.
* Shows the percentile ranking compared to members of the same age and gender in the general US population (nearest 5%, PRO version shows more precise values)
* Select between running or cycling, or manually entered VO2max for the calculations
* Option to use HRR, heart rate reserve instead of VO2max, if you do not have a VO2max measurement
* Classifies ranking into categories; poor, fair, good, excellent etc.
* Shows your current activity level in MET-h/week based on the last 7 days. To meet the WHO guidelines requires between 12.5 and 25 MET-h/week.
NOTES:
1) Running/Cycling VO2max requires Connect IQ System 5 firmware on your watch. Otherwise it must be manually entered.
2) Estimates of percentile ranking will not be accurate for RHR if your age is less than 18 or higher than 80.
3) For VO2max, the higher your percentile is, the better. For RHR, the lower your percentile is, the better. For BMI, a healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 25 (between 2nd and 29th percentile), with the ideal being in the middle of this range. For Asians, there is an option to use the proposed revised range of 18.5-23.0.
4) Your gender, height, weight and birth year and HR zones must be up to date in your Garmin user profile. You can use my Max Heart Rate data field to help determine your max HR.
# PRO version features
* Shows average sleep in the last 7 days (requires intervals.icu account linked to your Garmin account)
* Shows previous 7 day average stress (received from the Health Dashboard or compatible watchface)
* Gives an overall fitness/health rating calculated from VO2max, RHR, BP, BMI, diet, stress, sleep, tobacco/alcohol use and environmental air quality factors
* Balance chart for visualization of factors comprising the overall fitness/health rating
* Gives estimated years of life gained (after the age of 40) compared to if you were inactive, based on MET-h/week and manually entered health state. This assumes that your current weekly activity level is maintained.
* HRV evaluation. Use HRV data from Garmin Connect, a measured or manually entered value for HRV. The percentile for HRV is evaluated, as well as a poor, moderate, or good ranking. For details, see: https://ko-fi.com/Post/Using-the-HRV-Evaluation-Feature-of-the-FitRate-Ap-N4N2ML0PE
* VO2max historical trend graph for VO2max measurements from the Walking, Swimming, Treadmill Run or Wheelchair VO2max Test data fields
* Option to use walking, swimming, treadmill run, elliptical or wheelchair VO2max values for VO2max percentile evaluation and overall fitness rating.
* More precise percentile ranking (0.1% resolution)
