Heart Rate Context List

In health app, to the Heart Rate Data in the watch log has a line called "Heart Rate Context" in sample details, some times it says background, in other recorded data it’ll say Streaming. I would like a list of the different context options and meanings, not just a definition of the couple listed please! Is there a detailed this for all the options and their meaning?

"Workout" will show you the measurement during a workout period.

"Sedentary"is the measurement while you are, sitting or at rest for 5 minutes before the measurement is taken,or when you're sleeping if you wear the watch.

"ECG" is the measurement while your taking an ECG reading.

"Walking" is the measurement while you are walking.

"Background" heart rate measurements automatically at intervals that vary, when you are still.

"Streaming" is your normal monitoring.
