Heart rate variability (HRV) measurement position: lying down, sitting or standing?

3/27/2023

 
In the past year, I’ve started recommending measuring HRV while sitting, as opposed to lying down. I came to this conclusion after several conversations with a trusted expert in the field (Andrew Flatt), self-experimentation in different positions over an entire year (so that I could look at the relationship between the data and various acute and chronic stressors), and reading the available literature.

I now consider sitting the best and most effective way to capture data.
​

In this post, I would like to elaborate more on why this is the case, covering the rationale, physiological mechanisms, and research and providing some practical recommendations.
