Introduction to Heart Rate Variability

Stop overtraining with heart rate variability. Overtraining leads to injury, illness and diminished performance. The body can endure only so much continual physical stress before it begins to break down. So how do you know what to train and when to rest? The answer is heart rate variability (HRV). This online course will cover the important principles of balancing training and other life stressors with recovery to maximize the adaptive response necessary for the body to get stronger. It will explain what HRV is, how it is measured, and how it should be used in order to time your intensive sessions to take advantage of the body’s ability to adapt. Research showing the effectiveness of training with HRV will be complemented with case studies that show what to look for in your data to get consistently good performances while remaining healthy.
