Strength Training Anaerobic training effect

Hi all, hope you can shed some light on a query I have.

I did a weight workout with the watch and a chest strap. When I looked at the training effect it said no Anaerobic effect.

Is training effect not suitable for strength training? Or is it more for sprints and interval training?

    Anaerobic is when you can’t get enough oxygen in. When running this is when you are above your lactate threshold somewhere around 90% of Maximum Heart Rate. Is your heart rate really that high when doing weights?

    I see, it more for running then. As weights is an anaerobic activity I was expecting it to register more than 0.7.

    My HR was nowhere near 90%. I will ignore it for weights going forward. Many thanks for clearing it up.

    Yeah, I noticed it too. Hour and a half of weight lifting without anaerobic effect :) Really?! :) I think Garmin are not good enough in this area. At least, not yet.
