Description
This datafield determines energy expenditure and expenditure rate for rucking. A lot of people are questioning if Garmin's calories burned algorithm is actually correct when carrying a ruck weight. This app provides a way to test if it is or not by comparing to a validated calculation method for rucking.
NOTE: This is a data field and must be added to an activity app, like a walk to be used.
# Features
* Displays real-time estimated grade, speed, energy expenditure rate (kcal/h), total kcal expended, or METs (Option to display all metrics for diagnostics)
* Accounts for uphill and downhill grades
* Set the ruck weight and terrain factor (see guidance below) in the data field settings. (The units for the weight are determined by the weight units setting in your user profile settings) To change the ruck weight on the watch see here for instructions: https://ko-fi.com/post/How-to-Change-Data-Field-Settings-Directly-on-the-S6S611GYAK
* Option to display energy in kJ or kcal
# FULL Version Features
* Saves trend of grade, estimated energy expenditure (EE) rate and Garmin's energy expenditure (EE) rate to FIT file for graphical viewing in the Garmin Connect app.
* Saves the ruck weight, terrain factor, estimated total kcal burned, average uphill speed, and average downhill speed in the FIT file for viewing with the activity summary in the Garmin Connect app.
* Option to saves METs, MET-h, average METs to FIT file for viewing in the Garmin Connect app.
* Indoor treadmill mode option (set the treadmill incline in the data field settings; terrain factor should be set to 1.0)
* Option to save ruck work (distance x ruck weight) and ruck power (ruck work/time) to the activity session record in Garmin Connect.
NOTE:
By comparing the estimated energy expenditure rate to Garmin's energy expenditure rate and total kcal burned to Garmin's total kcal burned, we can evaluate how much Garmin inherently accounts for the ruck weight in its algorithm. If you perform the activity with zero ruck weight, and do the same comparison, the result should come out equal (ideally). Perform a test on a uniform grade path at uniform speed to compare kcal expended with other available rucking calculators. Please provide feedback on what results you get.
# How to set the terrain factor
1.0 = paved road, treadmill
1.1 = dirt road
1.2 = light brush, gravel road
1.5 = heavy brush
1.7 = ice, slippery hard clay
1.8 = swampy bog
2.1 = loose sand
2.5 = soft snow 15 cm
3.3 = soft snow 25 cm
4.1 = soft snow 35 cm
NOTE: The terrain factor can be changed during the activity using the Garmin Connect IQ app. The new value will take effect immediately (data up to that point will still use the previous value), but only the last value is stored in the Garmin Connect activity record.

What is new
Version 2.7.0
Corrected total kcal (or kJ) calculation for possible situations where the data field is not updated at regular intervals.
Version 2.6.0
Added ability to set the terrain factor from the on-watch, data field settings menu. Only discrete values can be selected. For finer grain setting values, set this using the Garmin Connect IQ app.
Version 2.5.1
Added support for Forerunner 970/570 models.
Version 2.5.0
Added option to display estimated VO2 (current oxygen consumption rate). This is not the same as VO2max but might eventually be used to estimate VO2max.
Version 2.4.0
Fixed crash on Approach S60. Fixed crash on some models due to memory limits. Changed settings for saving optional data to Garmin Connect. Only MET metrics or ruck work & power can be saved, not both due to Garmin datafield memory restrictions.
