Whoop's Take on HRV

Reading Time: < 1 minute

I’ve linked, further below, to a piece of content from Whoop Review that gives their take on HRV. It’s quite a nice athlete-focussed overview that’s straightforward to read.

It covers these broad topics and more:

What it is, what causes it, how it’s measured, and why it’s an indicator of fitness
What’s a normal HRV for you and why trends matter (I found this bit interesting)
Factors that affect it and how to improve it
How to use HRV to train smarter and more efficiently

This links to Whoop.com for the modestly-named “the ultimate guide to HRV” aka “everything you need to know about HRV“

I’m currently re-investigating Whoop v3 now that it allows HR to be broadcast but it’s proving to be taking a lot longer than I expected. Watch this space…
