Takeaway
These 8 common mistakes can be boiled down to 2 basic concepts: Accuracy and Context. In reverse order, here are one line summaries of what to do to avoid making these mistakes.
- Use accurate hardware.
- Determine if paced breathing is right for your situation.
- Track a few other subjective and/or objective metrics alongside HRV dependent on your goals.
- Measure 5+ days per week.
- Measure in the same position at the same time of day (or understand the effects of these differences).
- Measure more than once before making any conclusions (5+ is best).
- High HRV can be good or bad – context helps.
- Low HRV can be good or bad – context helps.
If you stick to these basic rules you will likely have very useful, reliable, and actionable Heart Rate Variability data for decision making.
