Heart rate notifications available in iOS 14.3 and watchOS 7.2
Apple has launched an important innovation for users of its Apple Watch smartwatch.
Smartwatches Apple Watch learned to determine cardio endurance
With the release of new platform versions – iOS 14.3 and watchOS 7.2, cardio endurance notifications became available. Users can view their heart rate data in the iPhone Health app and receive notifications on their Apple Watch when their cardiovascular fitness is low.
As noted by the developers, the new notifications will help users maintain a sufficient level of activity to significantly improve health in the long term.
This indicator, also called cardiorespiratory endurance, is expressed as VO2 max, the maximum amount of oxygen that the body can consume during exercise. The indicator can be increased by exercising regularly. Until now, Apple Watch measured the average and maximum VO2 max values during vigorous outdoor walking, walks, and runs.
Apple Watch users can set up Cardio Levels and Low Cardio alerts in the Health app on iPhone.
