what kind of activities can store HRV with connected HRM?

It seems that for biking and running HRV can be stored with HRM but not for yoga. All settings of the watch are set. Is there a limitation regarding FIT Sports types for writing HRV data with HRM? In the SDK I haven not found anything so far.

Regardless of the sport mode, with Garmin devices you also need to use a compatible chest strap that broadcasts the HRV data. You will not get HRV data from the optical HRM.

There is a specific forum for each Garmin device, your question may have already been ask/answered there. If not, asking it there might get you an answer about specific sport modes.
