Optimize your Training with the VIAD Test and HRV analysis.
What is the VIAD Test and Why is it Important?
The VIAD test (Vigorous Intensity Activity Determination) helps you determine the right heart rate zones for your training. This test is conducted in collaboration with a Beastmode-On employee at the athlete's location, ensuring accurate measurement and analysis. This helps athletes and coaches understand the training intensity to achieve specific results without overloading their bodies.
By calculating heart rate zones, you can optimally tailor your training. This way, you know exactly what intensity to train at to burn fat, improve your endurance, or respond to speed and power. Using the correct heart rate zone is essential for effectively achieving your goals, as it helps you avoid overloading your body while maximizing the benefits of your efforts.
An added benefit of Beastmode-On: you receive a Polar sports watch pre-set with the heart rate zones you need, based on your VIAD test.
How is the VIAD Test Used in the Beastmode-On Training App?
The VIAD test is used to determine the heart rate zones for your personalized training. After completing the VIAD test with a Beastmode-On representative, you'll know exactly what heart rate to maintain for each training session. Your sports watch, which you receive with your package, is already set to your personal heart rate zones, so you can get started right away without any hassle.
These heart rate zones are integrated into the Beastmode-On training app. After completing the VIAD test, you can track your workouts, fully tailored to your optimal intensity. This ensures effective and targeted training, so you can reach your goals faster and more safely. The app takes into account your personal heart rate zones, which are already set in your Polar watch, so your workouts are precisely tailored to you.

What is HRV Analysis and How Does It Help Your Training Readiness?
The Beastmode-On training app uses HRV (Heart Rate Variability) analysis to determine if you're ready for your next workout. HRV measures the variation between heart rates and is a key indicator of recovery and fitness.
How does it work?
High HRV = well-recovered, ready for training
Low HRV = more rest needed, risk of overtraining
Daily measurement
Measure your HRV every morning with the included Polar H10 heart rate strap. The app analyzes this data and provides real-time feedback on your training readiness.
Personalized advice
Based on your HRV, you'll receive customized training advice. If you're not recovering sufficiently, the app recommends a rest day or a lower intensity. This helps you prevent injuries and train optimally towards your goals.
Why is the VIAD Test and HRV Analysis so Important for Your Training?
The combination of the VIAD test and HRV analysis allows you to optimally tailor your training to your personal situation. By gaining insight into your heart rate zones and recovery status, you can:
• Train safely and effectively without the risk of overtraining
• Monitor your progress and work towards your specific goals
