Understanding Heart Rate Variability and Its Impact on Cardiovascular Health

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) serves as a crucial metric that reflects both immediate and long-term autonomic flexibility, overall health, fitness levels, and stress responses. Research indicates a strong correlation between HRV and cardiovascular health, where generally, healthier hearts exhibit higher HRV. Lower HRV is linked to cardiovascular conditions, suggesting that maintaining a high HRV can contribute to longevity. In a 12-week training program, individuals often experience a notable decrease in resting heart rate, which indicates improved cardiovascular efficiency, underscoring the relationship between heart health, HRV, and increased lifespan.
