Respiration Data during activities

Hello,

in my Garmin Connect i can find "Respiration" as part of my Daily Overview. There I can see respiration data throughout the day - excluding workouts (run, cardio). In neither case I do use a strap (not during workouts and not during the day) and Pulse Ox is turned off.

When my workout, eg a run is displayed, I can see respiration min / max / average - and everything is the same.

Is there a special setting I have to set up to make this a meaningful field for workouts as well?

Thx for your help in advance.

I think it's a bug. I can see that when the breating card appeared on my activities from April 12 and onwards, I do not have any metrics either but just a flat line - only when I have been running with a HR strap do I see any data there.

i think, it's not a bug, the overwiew you mean is only used for Garmin "Breathing Activities", start them and you will find data there

I was referring - perhaps wrongly - to the data and diagrams for an individual activity. There the breathing card appears since April 12 in my activities, but for all activities without an HR strap it's blank. What is the purpose of having the card at all if no is no data to be shown, except for the workouts that is referred by f|33tStA?

it looks like that on the first seconds your respiration rate will measured and then the sensor goes off or something like that, you tried already a hard reset, so the sensor will be reseted?

i think, the breathing don't work wth OHR, only with a strap!

or try a breathing workout and look if there the breathing works?

Yep. Exactly that´s the point I was wondering about as well.

OK. Thx.

But why the difference between those activities and others?

0 theothertom over 4 years ago in reply to f|33tStA

it seems as if breathing does work with OHR only, as it is measured during sleep or the rest of the day as well. It only stops when you start an activity (where the rate could be interesting).

Garmin only offer it for Workout Types they are prooved by them, for Others you need a hr strap

ok. would be interesting to have an overview, for which activities it is working with OHR only.

Couldnt find a hint or a summary on that up to now. Even on "help" of the card it´s not mentioned, that a strap would be needed.

strength training only works with HR-strap
cycling only works with HR-strap
running only works with HR-strap
swimming, i am not sure, because Garmin added the option to enable OHR during swimming
Breathing Workouts are enabled to record breathing with OHR

i think it's clear, OHR is good for all day 24 hours, so your HR is in normal values, but not for real sport!
