Yeah, I am finding the caloric burn calculations on the whoop to be the lowest of anything I have used.
I use both the whoop right now and my samsung galaxy 2 watch to compare. The heart rates are similar, with the whoop being slightly higher than the samsung.
The calorie counts are similar with the whoop being about 10% lower than the samsungs count.
The measurement for strain is interesting. I have topped out at 14.1 strain in a day once so far in the last week, with my average at below 10.
To get to 14.1 for the whole day I had to:
- 25 minute power strokes workout on the rower
- 70 minutes Taekwondo competition training class.
I expected my strain to be incredibly high after this, but 14.1 is considered only moderate.
This surprised me as I stacked the rowing and TKD workouts back to back and haven't worked out that hard for about 5 years. My heart rate felt elevated (125-155) (and my breathing laboured) for almost 90 straight minutes.
The night before I also had my best recovery (98%) so the workout felt fantastic.
But I was definitely surprised at how low the strain was. And apparently I need to work harder. haha!
I am more interested for the unlocking of the weekly and monthly analytics info to see how and where I can make changes.
Slava, you don't use the "get by" setting?
I use get by for any days I do no intend on training (so tues/thurs/sat) and then perform on my training days and the sleep requirements are dramatically different!
