Manual activity log should estimate Cardio Load based on activity history

[perija_23]

When playing competitive basketball games, I'm not allowed to wear my watch. After each game, I manually add the activity with duration through "Add sport activity manually," but these entries don't contribute to my Cardio Load score. During training sessions and runs, I wear my watch and collect complete data.

I understand that heart rate data is needed to calculate Cardio Load. My suggestion is that Fitbit could estimate Cardio Load for manually entered activities based on my previous tracked sessions of the same sport.

For example, since I wear my Fitbit during basketball training sessions, the app already has data on my typical heart rate zones and intensity patterns for basketball. When I manually add a basketball game with duration, the app could use this historical data to provide an estimated Cardio Load, similar to how it estimates calories burned for manual entries.

This would give athletes who can't always wear their devices during competitions a more complete view of their overall training load.
