Heart rate

And it does definitely say that only the latest optical ones could measure stress (using HRV), I assume because it's 24/7 and no-one wants to wear a chest strap 24/7. I note that I did have an iphone app that could measure HRV but it did seem random.

PAJ89 Jul 2018 11:02pm, 5 Jul 2018 31 posts	0 PAJ89 I'm a little confused regarding HRV (Heart Rate Variability?) and the stress measure, they're different right? I've just upgraded to a Fenix 5 Plus and they are separate widgets/apps. The HRV requires a chest strap and gives you a rating after measuring for 3 minutes. The stress score uses OHR and monitors throughout the day, or you can get the widget to measure immediately (30 seconds to give you a result).

Chrisull Jul 2018 11:40am, 6 Jul 2018 12,985 posts	0 Chrisull But the stress test is based on HRV, see the Garmin docs on it: www8.garmin.com
Garfield Jul 2018 12:48pm, 7 Jul 2018 9,088 posts	0 Garfield G, my stress test bit tells me I never rest...and am undergoing mild level stress...I tend to take that with a truckload of salt, and completely ignore it or I'd be stressing about it!;) Oh, and there are periods when my HR over 4 hour period seems to be nothing, zilch!...(I have a small wrist so may lose contact periodically, I guess!) - either that, or I'm dead for short periods of time! Time to dig out my chest strap for my 620.
The_Saint Aug 2018 5:58pm, 30 Aug 2018 6,311 posts	0 The_Saint Interesting article about analysis of Fitbit data and resting heart rate especially as some people seem to have misgivings about low resting rates finance.yahoo.com

J2R Aug 2018 6:50pm, 30 Aug 2018 1,344 posts	0 J2R Interesting and potentially extremely useful body of data. But I think the interpretations in the article are often way too simplistic. For one thing, surely resting heart rate isn't the only marker of heart health, yet everything is interpreted as if it is - the way he puts it, what's best for you is always what results in a lower resting heart rate. I doubt it's as simple as that.

Everything you need to know about training with a heart rate monitor. Remember the motto "I can maintain a fast pace over the race distance because I am an Endurance God". Mind the trap door....

Gobi lurks here, but for his advice you must first speak his name. Ask and you shall receive.

A quote:

"The area between the top of the aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold is somewhat of a no mans land of fitness. It is a mix of aerobic and anaerobic states. For the amount of effort the athlete puts forth, not a whole lot of fitness is produced. It does not train the aerobic or anaerobic energy system to a high degree. This area does have its place in training; it is just not in base season. Unfortunately this area is where I find a lot of athletes spending the majority of their seasons, which retards aerobic development. The athletes heart rate shoots up to this zone with little power or speed being produced when it gets there." Matt Russ, US International Coach
