Recovery Heart Rate - is it used in Garmin's algos ?

Does anyone know if the Recovery Heart Rate calculated by Garmin after workouts is just for our information or if they are actually used in their algos for whatever purpose ?

Thanks.

I hope not. Because it is simply incorrect. I have some recovery runs where rhr was 41, by average 110 and vo2max runs where rhr was 6 bpm at average ca 150. So - that's broken too.

For anyone interested: Garmin Taiwan curstomer service says Recovery Heart Rate isn't used in any of their algos.

(personnally I have no issue with the calculations of the Recovery Heart Rate on my watch, it works perfectly. Disclaimer: I use a chest strap).
