Abnormal anaerobic training efevt

Repeatedly, after meditation session, recorded through yoga activity with my Instinct 2 watch, I get abnormal high anaerobic training efect (sometimes even 5) considering is just sitting meditation with little adjustment of posture movement.

It's true that my pulse get some ups when I adjust my posture but I can't see how it could be possible to get that anaerobic training efect with just sitting meditation. Could it be a wrong calculation algorithm?

The algorithm is based on the heart rate. The watch does not have other possibilities how to detect the physical effort, than through the HR. If you share the activity link, perhaps we can see some ways how to improve the accuracy.

This is the activity I was talking about. I guess the question is can the pulse change so abruptly so quickly when sitting? Could it be a wrong reading? Or am I dying :) ?

I do not know. You can cross check with another device - for example with a fingertip pulse oximeter, or with a chest HRM strap. Or just count your pulse for 15s and multiply by 4. Or consult a physician, if you have concerns about your health. Also adjust the position of the watch on the wrist (should be 2-3 cm above the wrist bone), and the tightness of the wristband.
