Firstbeat explains EPOC in 60 seconds

Height is measured in inches or centimeters. Weight is measured in pounds or kilograms. But how do you measure the impact of physical activity on your body? The answer lies in the amount of oxygen your body uses to restore itself and adapt in response to your efforts. EPOC, which stands for Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption, holds the key. Firstbeat capably predicts EPOC by applying mathematical modelling techniques to heartbeat data as it is recorded in real time. EPOC provides the scientific foundation for many of Firstbeat’s most popular insights, including Training Load, Training Status, Aerobic and Anaerobic Training Effects and Recovery Time.

With Epoc my path to great results is simple, dynamic, and also powerful. Thank you!

Thats really good. Thank you for that. Would you be able to tell me how are the rates (low, optimal and high) deternined and why does it keep changing? I have an amazfit gtr 3 pro and it does this epoc calculation which i think its great. The only thing is that its hard for me to plan my workouts since the rates keep changing. In a day my epoc is 500 and it says its optimal, the following day i do some exercise and it goes up to 550 but it says now that its low for example. So how should I know what nunber to aim for? Thanks.

That's one of the reasons I love chloe ting's workouts. Hers really hit the epoc effect that's why ppl lose weight so fast with her.

does my pulse ox need to be enabled "after" my workout to get my epoc aka training load reading?

What do the actual numbers mean. Everywhere I look people just keep saying maximize your epoc score, but what is a 56 is that good or is it bad is a 20, 000 what my goal should be? Is there a maximum?. What kind of Epoc scores do different levels of athletes have? What kind of post workout caloric burn do different numbers roughly equate to?

I know what it is, but what do the different scores mean to me practically.
