Finally, this analysis is meant to be used as an additional aid for a user or coach, and should be considered in the context of all other non-autonomic (e.g. muscular fatigue) and subjective (e.g. stress, sleep) parameters.
We will keep working hard to try to make the analysis more general and more meaningful to each individual!

- Are you performing aerobic trainings? HRV trends analysis is based on solid research on aerobic sports. For other types of training, this analysis might not be compatible
