It is possible to collect not only vital and oxygen data but also RR intervals for an HRV analysis during a training session. A deeper analysis of these RR intervals provides a lot of valuable information about the physiological status of the body. For this, a chest strap must be worn during a session so that the RR intervals, the time between heartbeats, can be collected.
The following models are currently supported:
- Recommended and most commonly used: Polar H9 and H10
- Also possible with Garmin Pro/Dual and HW 9 belts
We base our calculations of the RR intervals on the Kubios methodology https://www.kubios.com/blog/hrv-analysis-methods/
To be able to display the evaluations graphically, we use the following open source libraries:

Note: The analyzed HRV data are based on smoothed RR intervals, which should be understood as tendencies only.
We also provide the recorded RR values as a CSV download so that you can import them into your own HRV software programs.
