 [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Training_Center_XML|Training Center XML]] is a data exchange format introduced as part of Garmin's Training Center product. The XML is similar to GPX since it exchanges GPS tracks, but treats a track as an Activity rather than simply a series of GPS points. TCX provides standards for transferring heart rate, running cadence, bicycle cadence, calories in the detailed track. It also provides summary data in the form of laps.  [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Training_Center_XML|Training Center XML]] is a data exchange format introduced as part of Garmin's Training Center product.
