I just did my first workout with my new Frontier X.
* What should I do with the numerical data (max/avg TL, cardiac strain, QTc interval)?
* How do read my ECG graph? I’m not sure what to look for in the waveform — I’m reading up on the P-wave, PR segment and interval, QRS complex — all new to me.
* Further to reading the graph, I some guides tell you how it should look under resting conditions, but how should it look under training load?
Thank you,

Correctly reading an ECG take’s medical training. Using the Share activity feature your can send your ECG data to an expert who can read it appropriately. We are working on a beginners guide to reading the ECG for informational purposes, though in the meantime there are several online resources available. Here is a good list of resources – https://litfl.com/ecg-library/ecg-references/

Hi Arthur,
Congratulations on making the first step with your Frontier X!
The numerical data associated with each workout can be used to better understand the physiological response of your heart during exercise:
Training Load- Helps you understand the physical demand of each workout on the body. Using weekly goals and the Training Load wheel with its colour codes can help you better understand if you are increasing your training too rapidly, risking overtraining, or if you are meeting a low load.
Cardiac Strain – Helps you understand whether you are pushing your heart in a zone that might be unsafe( Cardiac strain in the red zone)
QTc- A metric representing changes in the ECG that may lead to an increased chance of electrical abnormalities when it is in the red zone.
You can read more about these metrics and their ranges here – https://fourthfrontier.com/pages/know-the-science
