For what purposes is the HRV used?
e HRV is widely used for three requirements: First, for the regenera-
tion measurement in sport, secondly, for the stress measurement in the
health sector and, thirdly, for various applications in Workplace Health
Promotion (WHP). In this guide the third application will not be explai-
ned further.
Sport
Regular HRV measurements can quickly show states of overtraining. If
you regularly measure and train according to our training recommenda-
tions, it is practically impossible to fall into overtraining. You train more
eciently than before, your risk of injury is reduced and many of our
customers tell us that they achieve better performance with less training
