How do i record an EMS training?

Does anyone have any idea on how to record an EMS session?
This type of workouts does not raise your HR, bit it is still very effective and affects all of your parameters like fitness, fatique levels.

The Fitness graph here on intervals.icu shows “cardiovascular fitness” and not “general fitness”. While EMS will induce fatigue/muscle fatigue/muscle soreness, it will not induce cardiovascular fatigue. EMS will increase muscle strength and thus some sort of general fitness, but it will not strengthen your cardiovascular system. It will not raise HR or respiratory rate.
I would suggest to record it as a normal weight-training which induces fatigue as configured on the settings page.

That’s a good idea, thank you!

And on that point, Fitness & Fatigue percentages can be adjusted per activity type in Settings.
