How to Use HRV
By Joel Jamieson
When measuring your HRV, a higher score indicates greater heart rate variability and lower levels of inflammation.
Conversely, lower scores indicate lower heart rate variability and higher levels of inflammation.
We can use HRV measurements for multiple purposes, including:
- Monitor changes in aerobic fitness over time (and therefore VO¬2 max)
- Improve body composition
- Reduce the risk of injury and improve performance
- Manage training each day
- Regulating diet/supplementation strategies
Using HRV to achieve any of these 5 goals is simple, since the measurement takes less than 5 minutes/day.
It’s also important to note that HRV has been extremely well researched and is a growing field of study; this is a tried-and-true technology that is now accessible for those looking to take their fitness goals into their own hands.
