Performance of HARD WARE Fore Athlete

Supports GPS/Michibiki (complementary signal)

GPS is a satellite positioning system operated by the United States, and position information is calculated based on radio waves emitted from at least four of the approximately 30 GPS satellites.
MICHIBIKI is a quasi-zenith satellite system under development by Japan. Because it is designed to remain above the Japanese sky for a long time, positioning accuracy is less likely to deteriorate even in urban areas.

GLONASS compatible

GLONASS is a global positioning system operated by Russia, and by using it together with GPS, it is possible to receive positioning radio waves even in terrain such as built-up areas and riverbeds.
As the number of machines increases, it is possible to reduce the probability of positioning failure.

Galileo compatible

GLONASS is a global positioning system operated by Russia, and by using it together with GPS, it is possible to receive positioning radio waves even in terrain such as built-up areas and riverbeds.
As the number of machines increases, it is possible to reduce the probability of positioning failure.

High-precision measurement of positioning every second

All measurement data is received from the satellite every second and corrected to the optimum position, so it is possible to measure not only the trajectory recorded smoothly but also the distance and speed with high accuracy.

A rich training menu supports your training. Workouts, intervals, training calendar, races, various alerts (with heart rate, run & walk, pace, time, distance, pitch, calorie functions).
*The training function varies depending on the compatible model.

target/finish time

Bar target training by setting the target distance and time (or pace (speed)).
The finish time function (without a virtual partner) is a function that estimates and calculates the time to arrival by setting only the mileage in advance.
Appropriate pacing is possible in any case.
* The storage function differs depending on the model.

heart rate zone

The heart rate zone displays your condition and training effect in 5 levels. By setting your maximum heart rate and resting heart rate, you can check your exercise intensity from the heart rate zone, such as what level your current training is and what heart rate you should do for your target training. increase.

History confirmation function

Since a large amount of training data can be saved, practice diary management is easy. You can check "distance", "time", "pace (speed)", "calorie consumption", "average heart rate", etc. for each training and lap. With Garmin Connect, you can look back on the data in an easy-to-understand graph display.

auto wrap

Automatically records lap times at preset distances. It is also convenient for lap runs because it is possible to automatically measure laps with position triggers such as starting points and registered points.

VO2max/Estimated Time/Recovery Advisor

It is possible to measure maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max), which is an index to estimate the combination of exercise capacity. Values ​​that were previously measured in large-scale facilities are estimated based on exercise load and heart rate. Based on this value, you can also estimate and display the expected time for 5km, 10km, half and full marathons. At the end of training, it advises the "recovery time" necessary for recovery based on the exercise load and heart rate.
*FA45 can only measure VO2max
* FA230 requires a heart rate sensor (sold separately)

Lactate threshold (LT value)

Lactic acid is a substance that serves as a measure of fatigue when muscle glycogen is decomposed during exercise. The lactate threshold (LT value) is the exercise intensity at which the lactate level in the blood begins to rise suddenly as the exercise intensity is gradually increased. By understanding the pace and heart rate at the LT value, it is possible to know fatigue avoidance, fat burning, and race pace making, and to appropriately control the running intensity according to the purpose, such as raising the LT value itself.
