It says I need to grant extra permissions
If you're unable to view your heart rate zones, it's usually because you need to grant some extra Apple Health permissions that we haven't already asked for. Check the following steps:
- Head to your Account tab and tap on Paddle Settings
- Tap Open Permissions
- Ensure all permissions have been granted, if they haven't please tap any unchecked permissions to grant them
What are heart rate zones?
Heart rate zones are the five intensity levels of exercise. Your heart rate zones are automatically calculated based on a percentage of your maximum heart rate, based on the data that Apple Health has collected. By monitoring your heart rate zones whilst paddling, you can improve your fitness and make your workouts more efficient. We've written a whole article on how heart rate insights can improve your paddling, check it out here!
