FAQs: Why use Watts over Heart Rate?
-
Simply put, heart rate and worse, perspiration are confounded by other variables besides the actual workout.
-
Watts is a direct indication of effort, the intensity and duration of which are the primary factors deciding what energy system and laterally, what training effect you can expect from the activity.
-
Your heart rate, and perspiration for instance can be influenced independently of the activity and give you a false interpretation.
-
If you do a bunch of cocaine and your HR is 210 BPM, you don’t obtain a Vo2 Max improvement training effect. The result of a high HR is a change of state from pharmaceutical use, not an effort on behalf of the organism.
-
You don’t melt away fat from being outside in an Arizona summer. Just because it’s hot and you’re sweating isn’t a direct correlation to oxidative phosphorylation 🤷🏾‍♂️
-
Watts as an indicator of effort is as direct and reliable as loading is to resistance training. Heavier things take more effort to move, bottom line. Stronger people can move heavier things but the principle scales up or down regardless.
-
Have a stressful week, don’t sleep well and few nights, drink too much, take certain medication and your heart rate can be all over the place. Effort is effort. It’s an objective standard (when measured in watts or load) that can be tracked for progression regardless of circumstance and used as a reference to put other variables in a more meaningful context.
-
Track other things sure, it’s all tools, but at the end of the day what matters is how hard you work, how long you do it and laterally, the frequency of each iterative effort.
