Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

HappyG - correct stress = HRV. 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.

My watch was earlier reporting low stress. I am now in a meeting with the CFO and it reckons I’m resting. :-0

HappyG, Garmin Pay works with Starling. I set up an account just to use Garmin Pay and it was super easy. Download the Starling app, you can do everything from there. Works well.

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).

That’s about it. HRV was in the watch before the stress score and I reckon it is more accurate because it uses a strap.

But the stress test is based on HRV, see the Garmin docs on it:

:) 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! ;) :P Time to dig out my chest strap for my 620.

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

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....

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
