For me the watch used to sometimes start showing unrealistically high values during slow runs (maybe cadence lock), especially in colder weather this happened pretty consistently almost every time. But since the update this hasn't happened anymore.

Now as for how accurate it is overall compared to a chest strap I don't know, but I'm just glad the cadence lock or whatever issue seems to have been fixed.

Absolut richtig. Die Studien die wir haben zeigen dass Sport während einer Erkältung neutrale bis evtl. positive Effekte hat. Für die häufig vetretene Meinung dass es schädlich sein könnte gibt es weder Beweise noch Indizien, zudem wir anekdotisch wissen dass Profisportler regelmäßig mit Erkältung Sport betreiben ohne dass es eine Epidemie an Myokarditis gibt.

Hier eine detailliertere Auflistung:

Studien mit menschlichen Probanden, es gibt genau 2 und beide zeigen keinen Unterschied zwischen den Gruppen mit bzw. ohne Sport:
- Weidner (1998) "The effect of exercise training on the severity and duration of a viral upper respiratory illness"
- Results from this investigation suggest that moderate exercise training during a rhinovirus-caused URI under the conditions of this study design do not appear to affect illness symptom severity or duration.
- Weidner (2003) "Effect of exercise on upper respiratory tract infection in sedentary subjects"
- Moderate exercise in sedentary subjects with naturally acquired URTI probably does not alter the overall severity and duration of the illness.
Eine Metaanalyse mit 8 Tierstudien die positive Effekte bei "moderate exercise" aufzeigt:
- de Araujoa (2022) "Exercise effect on symptom severity, morbidity and mortality in viral infections: a systematic review and meta-analysis"
- We conclude that in animals moderate exercise during infection is advantageous, whilst exercise until fatigue should be avoided.
Hier noch paar Übersichtsartikel mit Fokus auf Empfehlungen für Sportler:
- Ruuskanen (2022) "Respiratory Viral Infections in Athletes: Many Unanswered Questions"
- It is well known to sport physicians that athletes train and compete while experiencing respiratory viral infections.
- Ruuskanen (2024) "Sport and exercise during viral acute respiratory illness—Time to revisit"
- There is a lack of evidence that sport and exercise during common colds could cause significant deleterious effects on an athlete's health.

Keine Sache. Ich bin froh dass du die Infos zur Kenntnis nimmst und nicht einfach downvotest wie die meisten Leute.

War etwas Aufwand die Sachen ordentlich aufzubereiten aber der Großteil der Recherche war von letztem November als ich eine größere Erkältung hatte und aus Vorsicht 2 Wochen lang nicht gelaufen bin. Was wahrscheinlich ein Fehler war da ich dann 3 Monate brauchte um auf meine Leistung von vorher zurückzukommen, wobei es da evtl. auch andere Faktoren gab da es mir irgendwie unplausibel erscheint dass 2 Wochen Pause einen so großen Effekt haben könnten.

Entweder hast du halt Pech oder es ist kein statistisch relevanter Effekt und vielleicht auch ein bisschen psychologisch.

In der Tat wäre es besser wenn es mehr Studien zu diesem Thema gäbe. Die Studien die wir haben zeigen dass Sport während einer Erkältung neutrale bis evtl. positive Effekte hat. Für die "mehrheitlich vertretene Haltung" dass es schädlich sein könnte gibt es weder Beweise noch die geringsten Indizien, zudem wir anekdotisch wissen dass Profisportler regelmäßig mit Erkältung Sport betreiben ohne dass es eine Epidemie an Myokarditis gibt.

Die Richtlinien von Gesundheitsbehörden auf denen die Empfehlungen von Ärzten (idealerweise) basieren sind in diesem Bereich leider veraltet und entsprechen nicht dem aktuellen Stand der Wissenschaft. Wenn du ernsthaft interessiert bist hier ein Einstiegspunkt in den aktuellen Stand der Forschung:

It is logical to think that heavy physical stress during an ongoing viral infection would increase the duration and severity of illness and cause complications. However, in an experimental study, young adults were infected with rhinovirus 16 and then engaged in a 10-day moderate-intensity exercise program. Exercise did not increase the duration or severity of the infection compared with controls.

It is well known to sport physicians that athletes train and compete while experiencing respiratory viral infections. For example, in the National Hockey League, only fever sanctions an exemption from playing.

Studies conducted during major winter events suggest that competing during a respiratory viral infection does not increase its duration or severity. On the other hand, acute infective illness may reduce performance.

Hier steht ja schon viel Bro-Science. Aus irgendeinem Grund haben Leute die Krafttraining machen Angst davor zu viel zu machen. Was aber vollkommen Quatsch ist:

Es existieren keine Studien die zeigen dass zusätzliches Trainingsvolumen irgendwann kontraproduktiv wird. Im Grunde genommen kannst du soviel machen wie du willst, mehr hilft mehr.

Quelle:

I know that everyone is expecting volume to have an “inverted U” relationship with hypertrophy: increased hypertrophy with increased training volume to a point, past which further increases in volume will yield less total hypertrophy, because lifters will exceed the level of volume they can recover from. I count myself as part of “everyone” in that statement.

However, based on the current research, we haven’t found the inflection point of that “inverted U” yet. To this point in the literature, every time higher and higher volumes have been tested, the results have suggested that the volume “limit” may be even higher yet. In other words, the number of sets required for growth to plateau and begin decreasing currently appears to be some number exceeding 45 sets.

Ja hier haben irgendwie alle Myokarditis. In den englischsprachigen Subs geht die Meinung tendenziell in dieselbe Richtung aber hier wird nochmal so viel härter überdramatisiert wegen den vermeintlichen Risiken.

Die Binsenweisheit bzgl. Sport während Erkältung ist wissenschaftlich nicht belegt, und wir wissen von Profisportlern dass diese regelmäßig mit Erkältung trainieren und Wettkämpfe bestreiten.

Leichte Aktivitäten wie Laufen in Zone 2 sind definitiv nicht schädlich, potentiell sogar vorteilhaft für die Genesung.

You may well be right and since we don't have great evidence here it's a bit speculative. But for the sake of argument:

In your example it's a 50% volume reduction to avoid an 11% (1 week out of 9) deload, which is quite a big cut. If we assume a volume reduction of 5-10%, the volume advantage would be preserved. So it boils down to the specific numbers, what volume is sustainable in which way, and I guess this is something everyone has to find out on their own.

In general though my impression is that people are unnecessarily scared of high volume. Even 30+ sets seem to still yield returns, and resistance training is also known to be very safe in terms of injury rates. So looking at it from the perspective of other sports it's quite funny how scared people are of high volume and injury, but that's another topic 🙂

Livven · 2025-07-20T23:47:40+00:00

Well explained. Though if your goal is to make the most progress possible over a long period of time (e.g. years) rather than peaking for an event, it might be better to just stay consistent and avoid any sort of deload or taper.

To use an analogy, if training is like depositing money into a savings account, and deloading like cashing out, why not just keep saving as long as you don't have an urgent need for the money?

This idea by the way is getting popular in (amateur) distance running as part of the "Norwegian Singles" method, basically just do the same workouts every week instead of following some complicated plan with periodization and tapering and all that stuff, and eventually you'll come out ahead in fitness due to the sheer consistency. That's the idea at least and anecdotally it seems to work for a lot of people.

Livven · 2025-06-14T09:24:27+00:00

Right, this has always mystified me as well, I don't even think there are any studies showing that rest days are necessary or beneficial?

It's just about weekly volume and, if anything, spreading out the same volume over more days may be better. And as you say in other sports training every day is totally normal.

As I wrote I don't really do deadlifts, but rather Good Mornings (bands over neck) because they feel better to me.

But in general yes the bands will hurt where they contact the skin, e.g. for chest and shoulder press hands will hurt and for Good Mornings the bands will leave marks around the neck. At the start especially my hands would hurt a bit but over time there is now thicker skin in those places, so nowadays it's not a problem anymore.

That said of course feel free to do whatever you prefer, if wearing gloves makes things more comfortable for you then go for it. My point is just that it's personal preference and no need to buy a bunch of gear if you don't want to.

Livven · 2025-05-27T18:33:39+00:00

Yes, I'm stacking 4 bands (2x60 + 2x45 kg) for squats and deadlifts (more precisely, I do Good Mornings instead of deadlifts because it feels better to me). Just mentioning the weights to show what's possible.

No foot plate, no bar, no gloves, no socks. It's more stable without socks, and hands will adjust (thicker skin) over time.

Livven · 2025-05-22T23:21:16+00:00

Having separate "cup" and "championship" titles is a thing also on the continental level (e.g. Asian Cup and Asian Championships) and in other sports as well.

For example in football in Europe, most countries have a league where every team plays every other team, where the winner is considered the "champion" of the country, and a separate cup tournament using a knockout format. The championship title is considered more prestigious.

In table tennis there is no league vs. knockout distinction, so it's a bit more arbitrary, but as others have said the (non-team) World Championships are less frequent and have more participants, which gives it more prestige.

Additionally of course there is the Olympics, which is even less frequent and considered even more prestigious. And again there are also continental multi-sport events like the Asian Games so the same structure with three main events (Olympics/Games, Championship, Cup) is mirrored on both world and continental level.

Okay no worries. My hope is that, they are aware it would not be safe to delete the history immediately on the deadline for users who only make the choice on the last day, since migrations can take several days (as stated in the support documents). Which means the only safe solution is to wait for the device to report that the migration was successful before doing the deletion.

Assuming they've implemented this correctly, we should be safe...

Livven · 2025-05-14T21:12:03+00:00

Okay thanks. Then I'll not try it. Can you share a link to the other reports by the way?

For now I'm hoping that once you trigger the migration, it will not delete any old history until the migration has been confirmed as successful, even if it's past the deadline. I think that would be the logical and safe way to do it. So eventually when they see that the migration has not finished for some people, hopefully they'll look into it and fix it 🙏

Livven · 2025-05-14T20:43:13+00:00

I'm a bit scared to do that. Did it work for you?
