Used to estimate calories burned. The Keytel formula uses your weight, age, heart rate, and VO2max to compute kcal burned during each workout.
Based on the Keytel et al. (2005) prediction equation. HR comes from Garmin daily monitoring if available, otherwise defaults to 90 bpm. The rate is multiplied by workout duration to compute total kcal.
When enabled, your Garmin daily heart rate data is fetched and overlaid on workout charts — showing your actual HR during each exercise with color-coded segments. This requires a Garmin watch or HR monitor that records to Garmin Connect. Data is cached locally after first load.
When you start a Strength Training activity on your Garmin watch at the gym, hevy2garmin will detect it and push your Hevy exercise data into that activity instead of creating a new one. You get 1-second HR sampling, training effect, EPOC, and recovery data. If no matching watch activity is found, it falls back to the normal upload.
Adds a summary of your exercises, sets, reps, weights, and calories to the Garmin activity description. Visible in Garmin Connect and connected apps like Strava.
Watch Activity Matching
How closely a Garmin watch activity must match a Hevy workout to be enhanced. Lower overlap = more lenient matching, higher = stricter.
FIT File Timing
Controls how set durations are estimated in the FIT file when exact timing is not available from Hevy.
