HRV and stress score.

torbjornberger

 The stress score is probably  based on HRV. HRV decreases automatically when the HR increases and is probably registered as increased stress on a 1-1 basis based on the averages.  Does anybody know if the algorithms take that into consideration?

    If you are active (like in an activity) the stress is not measured.

    I am aware of that. I am talking about normal movement at work for example.  Normal "desk" HR is between 45-50 and easy movement appr 50-80 BPM

    45-50 BPM is considered to be bradycardia (lower than 60 BPM). A normal heart rate is considered to be between 60 and 100 BPM so 50-80 is well in normal range.

    If you are in rest at your desk and your HRV is high you will get a lower stress score. If you start to move around and your heart rate goes up and your HRV likely goes down a little then you get a higher stress score. You can look at the stress chart and see how different activities give you different stress scores. You will then get higher and higher stress score until you are considered to be in "active" state which will stop the stress measurement.

    Thanks for your answers!  

    Bradycardia: It's normal for me. Used to have a resting HR in the sub 40 area  at the age of 20, about  40 years ago :-)

    I see that as a sign of fitness (if you train a lot). I also got around 40-45 at rest and even lower during sleep.
