Viewing Your Stress Score

Before you can view your stress score, you must put on a chest
heart rate monitor and pair it with your device
Wireless Sensors, page 16).
Stress score is the result of a three-minute test performed while
standing still, where the Edge device analyzes heart rate
variability to determine your overall stress. Training, sleep,
nutrition, and general life stress all impact how an athlete
performs. The stress score range is 1 to 100, where 1 is a very
low stress state, and 100 is a very high stress state. Knowing
your stress score can help you decide if your body is ready for a
tough workout or yoga.
TIP: Garmin recommends that you measure your stress score at
approximately the same time and under the same conditions
every day.
1
Select > My Stats > Stress Score > Measure.
2
Stand still, and rest for 3 minutes.

personal records you achieved during that ride. Personal
records include your fastest time over a standard distance,
