FatMax by Afasteryou

FatMax % by afasteryou ======================= Train exactly in your personal FatMax zone. FatMax % shows in real time how close you are to your individual maximum fat oxidation rate (FatMax). * 100% = exactly at FatMax * 1%–99% = below or above optimum – fat burn drops as you move away * 0% = at or above Critical Power or Speed – fat metabolism nearly stops ------------------------------------------------------------ HOW IT WORKS 1. Take the afasteryou Powertest (paid, online) or automatically use our Powertest AI via Garmin Sync. Both provide your VO₂max and VLamax – essential for accurate substrate usage calculation. 2. Enter the code shown on your Garmin at: https://afasteryou.com/connect/ 3. It may take up to 10 minutes after activation before the data field updates. Until then, a pairing code will be shown. 4. Add the data field to a Running profile (uses speed) or a Cycling profile (requires power). 5. Start training and aim to stay close to 100% – that’s your personal fat-burning sweet spot. ------------------------------------------------------------ REQUIREMENTS * Cycling – requires a paired power meter * Running – works from speed and altitude; no power sensor needed * The field shows a pairing code until VO2max and VLamax are set * Works indoors as long as power (bike) or speed (run) is recorded ------------------------------------------------------------ DATA SYNC * Your metabolic data (VO2max, VLamax) is synced automatically every 12 hours * If you complete a new Powertest, updates are applied at the next sync ------------------------------------------------------------ ACCURACY Calculations are based on the metabolic model by Alois Mader (2003) and have been validated against laboratory gas exchange data in collaboration with MSH Medical School Hamburg (University of Applied Sciences) ------------------------------------------------------------ WHY USE IT * Train at the exact intensity that maximizes fat metabolism – ideal for endurance, recovery, or weight-loss phases * One clear number, smoothed with a 5-second moving average – easy to read even under effort * Complements your pace, heart rate, or power data for deeper training insight ------------------------------------------------------------ UPCOMING FEATURES * AI-based Powertest support for daily updated metabolic values ------------------------------------------------------------ OTHER PRODUCTS * **Carbs Burned** – tracks cumulative carbohydrate usage based on your personal physiology * **Training AI** – adaptive running and cycling training plans, synced via Garmin Training * **Activity AI** – post-session analytics for Fat, Carbs, VO2max, VLamax, Training Score, CdA, and even muscle and blood lactate simulation ------------------------------------------------------------ SUPPORT Setup guide and FAQ: https://afasteryou.com/fatmax Email: [email protected]

1.0.0 — Major Update: Spline Calculation & Smarter Pairing • Fats are now computed via a server-fitted spline curve, so the values match the afasteryou web platform exactly — no more rounding drift. • Smarter pairing flow: 5 min → 10 → 20 → 40 → … re-checks after install. • View switches from "Requesting…" to live fatmax tracking automatically. • Added: D2 Mach 2/Pro, Edge Explore 2, Edge MTB, Forerunner 570, Instinct Crossover AMOLED, Venu 4 (41/45mm), Venu X1. 0.0.8 - Added support for Garmin Edge 550, Edge 850, Forerunner 970, and Fenix 8 devices. 0.0.7 – Activity AI Integration • Added Powertest AI via Garmin Sync – enables real-time carb tracking without a paid Powertest. • VO₂max and VLamax are now estimated automatically from Garmin data. (HF and Power required) • Updated pairing messages and improved background sync performance. • Syncs every 2 min or 10 min (device-dependent); checks for new Powertest (AI) data every 24 h. 0.0.6 – Bugfix for Background Data Visibility • Fixed an issue where the registered flag in background data was not correctly set, which could prevent the pairing code from being hidden as intended. • This bug only affected devices capable of background data handling. All other devices were unaffected. 0.0.5 – Improved messaging and error handling • Data field now displays “Requesting…” until a successful server connection has been made. The pairing code is shown only after the first verified platform request. • Fixed a bug where missing speed values in running activities could cause calculation issues. 0.0.4 – Added internal version tracking 0.0.3 – Improved compatibility with Garmin Edge devices by extracting workout data directly from the info object within compute() 0.0.2 – Fixed bug where readiness check used an incorrect reference 0.0.1 – First release – shows real-time FatMax percentage based on personal metabolic profile.
