This happened to me with my wrist based HRM. I have a Garmin Vivoactive 3 and it was horribly inaccurate, especially the onset of exercise. But after I got a chest monitor, there were no more spikes or cadence lock issues.

Thanks for the feedback Rachel. I appreciate it.
Yes, I was fasted for the test for about 15 hrs.

Once the weather gets better or the gyms reopen, I’ll try the DIY tests and compare the results.

Testing protocol:
I was given 15 minutes to do a very gradual warm up on a treadmill, at the end of which I reached a HR of 135. I did a 5 min walk for a cool down. Then we took another 5 min to strap the gas mask on to begin the test. At the start of the test, my HR was about 105.

-25 min: warm up
-10 min: walk
-5 min: gas mask install
0 min: 105 bpm (begin test)
2 min: 110
4 min: 120
6 min: 128
8 min: 137
10 min: 143
12 min: 150
14 min: 160
16 min: 172
18 min: 182 bpm

I compared this to UA’s recommended protocol and it looks like we increased the speed a bit too quickly. Could this ruin the data though?
