HRV problem?

Hi everyone!

I'dont know if i'm experiencing an HRV problem or not...

My HRV level is constantly drooping from about one month by now.. and I've no aswer for that.. [The fall increased after the update (12.27)]

I tried to reset the watch, but it semms there's non difference (new first reading - the blue one - is also worst...).

I've 10 days of full stop and about 3 weeks of super soft training...

I hope hrv whould balance with new "ms spot" but this could be right or not?

Thank U ALL

Yes... maybe... u r right...

indeed this grafic shows (for my age 38) a range about 40 to 65 ms (average about 55ms), mine (when it says was "balance") was about 75 - 80 ms..

So.. i'll wait for…

At the beginning I thought that too.. 'cause the suggestion was to decrease training...

But now that i'm completly rest and i'm tryng to come back in training, sounds weird.

Similar problem here, and we are not the only ones. I have not seen any comment from Garmin though.

Maybe your baseline was wrong for some reason. Wait a few days and see if it stabilizes. Ciao!

I'd agree with that. Yours seems quite high. My baseline range is normally about 40-50ms.

And that tells me my HRV is pretty good for my age (54).

I'm 48 and the baseline right now is 41-53ms.

Maybe your HRV is dropping because you stopped training? Or you really are stressed and or not sleeping well? Maybe just wearing the watch too loose?

I known resting HR is partially related to fitness level. Lower RHR = better fitness. When I stop training my RHR increases.

I think HRV is similar. Higher HRV = better fitness (but also related to low stress and good sleep).

My amateur guess is that when coming back to training you might first get tired and have lower HRV but in the next rest day your hrv might increase and so on. Just like resting HR but in the opposite direction.
