What Is Heart Rate Variability?

I’m delighted to speak to Dr Emma Mosley this week. Emma is a Senior Lecturer in Sport Psychology in the Department of Sport Science and Performance at Solent University, Southampton.

Emma completed her BSc in Sport Psychology and Coaching Sciences and went on to complete her PhD at Bournemouth University.

Emma is an active researcher within psychophysiology and sport performance, with a particular specialism in heart rate variability. She is a member of the mind-body connections research group at Solent. Emma is also a Chartered Scientist (CSci) and a BASES Accredited Sport and Exercise Scientist.

Emma has co-written a paper with Dr Sylvain Laborde entitled “A scoping review of heart rate variability in sport and exercise psychology” which aimed to provide a scoping review of the use of heart rate variability (HRV) within Sport and Exercise Psychology.
