HRV4Training for Pc

What can I say I’m impressed. I’ve tested and downloaded several other HRV apps but they either required an external or didn’t support the new Apple Watch feature that supports HRV. Even though this app doesn’t support the Apple Watch either, it still offered the ability to use my existing iPhone. Don’t be fooled, the iPhone camera works just as great. I used to use the camera for other things to measure HR and I found it to be just as accurate. The HRV was spot on at least referencing against the Apple Watch readings. As for the app, there are some bugs that I’ve worked with Marco to resolve so while minor he has worked with me. I do acknowledge that most of these HRV apps tend to favor runners, cyclists, or triathletes. Fitness and CrossFit folks are just as interested in peak training. Remember us too! Lastly, the insights are great and this is the kind of easy advice I was looking for. Integration with other apps to include Strava and Training Peaks is a plus. A negative is the inability to get into the weeds with your data or edit but I just found out they have a Coach app that will allow you to do that and I might have to investigate that! Overall very impressed and hope they keep developing this app.

They sensor on the Apple watch has been proven to be accurate. (Yet no watch integration) A cardiologist actually laughed at the fact that this app uses a camera. We measured simple heart rate and found this app to be extremely off base. If it uses heart rate as a measurement in the hrv calculations, but it can’t accurately measure that, then how can they claim any accuracy at all? I appreciate the response. Maybe it would be helpful to inform users before they buy the app that to get a true measurement, you need to have a Bluetooth monitor. Also I will add that I did not say anything about the health app measuring hrv. I just said that when i discusses it with my cardiologist, the cardiologist and I checked the heart rate before and after a stress test on my watch and then tried the hrv app with the camera. this app was very inaccurate. (If I can’t get an accurate bpm from your app (it was generally at least 20 bpm or more off while measuring with optimal connection) then how can it be trusted to measure R-R intervals?

I’m loving this app!! Deceivingly simple to use. Incredibly useful insights. To get this level of physiological insight for $10 bucks is simply AMAZING. The fact that it can all be done with the phone you already have is downright awesome. Hats off to the developers!! Athletic improvement comes from stressing the body and then allowing the body to recover and adapt. The whole point of training is to give the body the maximum amount of training stress it can recover from before the next workout. But how much is too much? Training and life stress can accumulate in quite unintuitive ways. Especially over time. That’s what this app helps you to understand and it does it with a direct measurement of your particular physiological “state”, and then tracks that over time. I linked it to Strava and Training Peaks (super easy) to pull in workout data and now have a single point of reference for monitoring fatigue. Just great. If you want to optimize your training time and efforts this is absolutely the app to get. Incredible value for the $$.

I’ve been using this app daily for almost a year now to track my heart rate and many other aspects of my health, life, and training. The app has become an indispensable part of my training process. this app is based on reviewed, validated research, and Marco uses his personal expertise and his experience as a serious runner to make the app focused and effective. His blog posts about the workings of the app and the science behind it are a tremendous resource. And he’s been unbelievably available in answering questions and helping me fine-tune my usage of the app.
