Optimize your Training with the VIAD Test and HRV analysis in the Beastmode-On Training App

What is the VIAD Test and why is it important for your training?

The VIAD test (Vigorous Intensity Activity Determination) is a test that helps you determine the right heart rate zones for your training. This test is performed in collaboration with a Beastmode-On employee at the athlete's location, so that we ensure that everything is measured and analyzed correctly. This helps athletes and coaches to understand at what intensity you should train to achieve specific results, without overloading your body.

By calculating your heart rate zones, you can optimally adjust your workouts. This way, you know exactly what intensity you need to train at to burn fat, improve your endurance or respond to speed and power. Using the right heart rate zone is essential to effectively achieve your goals, as it helps you not to overload your body and at the same time get the most out of your efforts.

What’s extra handy with Beastmode-On: you get a Polar sports watch that is already pre-set with the heart rate zones you need, based on your VIAD test. This means you don’t have to worry about setting these zones yourself – they are already set up for you and ready to go. This allows you to get started right away, without any doubts about the right intensity for your workouts.

How is the VIAD Test Used in the Beastmode-On Training App?

The VIAD test is used as a basis to determine the heart rate zones for your personal training. After performing the VIAD test with a Beastmode-On employee, you will know exactly which heart rate you should 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 start right away without any extra hassle.

In the Beastmode-On training app, these heart rate zones are integrated. After performing the VIAD test, you can follow your workouts that are fully tailored to your optimal intensity. This ensures that you train effectively and focused, so that you can reach your goals faster and safer. The app takes into account your personal heart rate zones, which are already set in your Polar watch, so that your workouts are precisely tailored.

What is HRV Analysis and How Does It Help Your Training Readiness?

In addition to the VIAD test, the Beastmode-On training app uses HRV (Heart Rate Variability) analysis to determine how well your body has recovered and whether you are ready for your next workout. HRV measures the variation in time between your heartbeats and is considered an important indicator of your recovery and physical condition.

A high HRV means that your body is well-recovered, indicating that you are ready for your next workout. A low HRV can indicate overtraining, stress or insufficient recovery, indicating that your body needs more rest. The HRV analysis in the Beastmode-On app takes your recovery status into account and provides real-time feedback on how well you are prepared for your next workout.

How does the HRV analysis work in the Beastmode-On App?

Every morning you can measure your HRV with a Polar H10 heart rate strap, which is included in every package. This heart rate strap is essential for getting accurate HRV measurements, so you get instant insights into your recovery status. The app collects this data and uses it to assess your readiness for training. Based on these measurements, it gives you personalized advice on the intensity of your next training session.

If the HRV analysis indicates that you have not recovered sufficiently, the app can advise you to take a rest day or reduce the intensity of your training. This will help you prevent injuries and strain, while still making progress towards your goals. This ensures that you are not only training based on your physical capabilities, but also taking into account how your body feels and performs.

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 adjust your training to your personal situation. By gaining insight into your heart rate zones and recovery status, you can:

• Safe and effective training without the risk of overtraining

• Monitor your progress and work towards your specific goals

• Prevent injuries by giving your body enough time to recover

• Improve your performance by training at the right intensity and at the right time
