With 100 different speed settings and automatic oscillation, this powerful and efficient little desk fan will keep the air moving through your office or other living space all day long. It's just ...

Vertical oscillation is the amount your torso moves up and down with each stride. A lower VO makes you more energy-efficient and is therefore more desirable.

Garmin’s specific measurement considers your pace and vertical oscillation, along with the grade and wind conditions, to calculate in real time the amount of power you’re applying to the ground.

It analyzes your vertical oscillation, ground contact time, vertical ratio, stride length and cadence, producing a stack of graphs below the classics of heart rate and pace in tracked runs.

Running involves much greater vertical oscillation of the center of mass than walking. This is the main reason why running consumes more energy than walking for the same distance covered.

Version 13.09 also adds running dynamics, once again a feature introduced in the Forerunner 965 and Forerunner 265. This analyzes your cadence, stride length, vertical ratio, vertical oscillation ...

There are also more running technique stats on the new watch, like ground contact time and vertical oscillation, along with running power and Garmin’s handy PacePro feature for pacing your races.
