HRV Explained

  • Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measures the variation in time between heartbeats.
  • It's linked to the autonomic nervous system, providing insights into parasympathetic (rest and digest) and sympathetic (fight or flight) activity.
ADVICE

Measuring HRV

  • Measure HRV at rest, ideally first thing in the morning, for one to two minutes.
  • Use a reliable app like HRV for Training or a chest strap like the Polar H10 for accurate data.
ADVICE

Using HRV Data

  • Establish a baseline HRV by collecting data for two to four weeks.
  • Then, use software like HRV for Training's coaching app to set thresholds and track your seven-day rolling average.
