Understanding HRV and its Applications
HRV, or heart rate variability, serves as a valuable indicator of stress response linked to the autonomic nervous system. HRV quantifies heart rhythm variation, offering insights into the body's reaction to stressors. The variability in HRV changes based on stress levels, with higher stress leading to reduced heart rate variability. By measuring HRV consistently over time, individuals can track their stress response and make informed decisions to optimize their health and performance.
