Zumba in Garmin Connect & different calories in connect vs. applea health-import

dear community, 

i have two different issues concerning my garmin connect <-> apple health setup: 

Question 1) Is there any option to request another sports type to be added to garmin connect app sports portfolio? 

  • i do Zumba workouts regularly and currently, i classify it as "cardio", since i have not found any Zumba or Dance sports (neither in Garmin Lily nor in the Garmin Connect app)
  • problem: apple health detects it as cardio workout, other apps detect it as spinning or running, which is pretty annoying


 Question 2) I track with a Garmin Lily and import the data to Garmin Connect. Garmin Connect syncs to Apple Health. My problem here is in different counted calories, e.g.

  • Workout A: 
    • Lily: 404ccal
    • Garmin Connect App: 404 ccal
    • Apple Health: 342ccal --> checking the imported training data from Garmin Connect within Apple Health: 342ccal
  • It looks to me, that Garmin Connect seems to use different calories for the same workout - which i do not understand, why?

I am confident, that other people might have experienced issues themselves, hence i'd be very glad if anyone could support me here! 

Thank you all in advance!
