Roberto Mastrotto

Roberto Mastrotto vive nella Valle del Chiampo in provincia di Vicenza. Sciatore fin da bambino, inizia a correre nel 2014-15 quasi per scherzo, con l'obiettivo di rimettersi in forma dopo qualche anno di inattività sportiva.
In pochi mesi perde una ventina di kg e comincia a scoprire la corsa in natura affrontando con spirito di pura sfida personale il suo primo Ultra Trail saltando molte tappe intermedie. Dal 2016 inizia ad allenarsi con regolarità ed arriva la prima vittoria alla Durona Trail 60km, gara di casa che solo l'anno prima l'aveva visto debuttare. Da lì non si è più fermato ed ha cominciato ad amare e vivere la montagna sempre più, conseguendo vittorie su diverse gare di Ultra Trail a livello nazionale e piazzamenti importanti nelle gare dell'Ultra Trail World Tour, come un 19esimo posto a UTMB nel 2018. |

I am a professional level archer, with the goal of qualifying for Tokyo next year. I previously was the World #2 ranked compound archer, a regional mountain bike and cyclocross racer, and a national level swimmer (along with a host of other sports growing up).
I was voted in as the athlete representative for the World Archery, as my peers respect me and my honesty. I also am a coach. My students include everything from local home schooled students needing gym credit, National Champions, Kona Qualifiers, to World Cup team members. I work full time as an economist, so I love numbers and analyzing data. I've dreamed of a career where I could combine the two, but for the next year I am 100% focused on my goal of making the 2020 Olympic team. |
Tenchi So

I am a former Canadian Forces Army Officer and a competitive Muay Thai Fighter who switched to Triathlon back in May of 2014 to seek the ultimate challenge. In the last 5.5 years of racing triathlons, I have raced 27 x 70.3s and 8 x 140.6s around the world and usually race from March to November and have a long season traveling for work and racing. Through the use of HRV4Training, I have better been able to crossreference how I feel and how my HRV values correlates and know when to push hard to achieve overcompensation and when to back off to ensure that I get my rest. Adopting the HRV4Training App to monitor my stress has been a lifechanger. |

Carolina Aguero
|
Adrenaline and Endurance Junkie powered by the desire to discover my body's limits and grow mental fortitude. My main sport is ultra running with 50 km being my favorite distance.
As most athletes, I've had my fair share of injuries and one of the most important tools I use to know where my body is at every day is HRV4Training. I have been using it for over a year and it's both exciting to see the not so obvious improvements your body is making as well as enlightening to understand when it needs more recovery and the reasons behind it. The data it provides is invaluable to design the optimal training plan with enough stress to create positive adaptations while also knowing how much recovery is needed to prevent over training |
Juan Francisco Diaz Torres
|
I'm a professional mountain biker from Argentina and a student of nutrition at University
I use HRV4Training to analyze my training statistics, and make improvements with these information. I learnt to relate my daily HRV data with my trainings, so now I can train better and much more precisely. Since I started using HRV4Training, I feel like my training is much more clear, I know what happens on my body when I train harder or on easy days. You can prevent overtraining and improve your fitness consistently. |

In my third year of university studies as a kinesiologist, I love moving and I love data. I've been a competitive climber for 8 years, and due to an injury I'm currently focusing my time on exploring the biomechanics of climbing. Having competed and coached for many years, I am a very active member of the Canadian climbing community. Other activities I enjoy doing are pilates, ballet and yoga. I'm also a climbing coach, so most of my followers are climbers.
I use HRV4 Training every day. I've learnt a lot about the optimal length of my training phases. I've also been using it to see how a lower volume of training is affecting my energy levels in life, as well as my performance in the gym. I would like to learn more about how external factors influence my training, and how to adjust training volume and intensity accordingly. |
Javis Lim

|
I'm a multisport athlete and coach with a +30 years experience in endurance training and coaching. I combine this experience with my academic background as an exercise physiologist to help athletes and coaches to reach their goals and potential.
HRV4Training is a great tool to explore how athletes respond to training and their daily activities. As a coach I get more in-depth information which is a start of a conversation with my athletes how to optimize the training and training environment. The HRV4Training software is developed with a solid scientific background and provides an easy to use interface for athletes and coaches. For me it's one of the best and most practical tools in industry. |

Mangio, dormo e respiro il triathlon da 15 anni. Lo sport mi ha dato la possibilità di conoscermi e crescere. Oltre che la fortuna di incontrare tanta gente e vedere tanti posti in giro per il mondo. Amo allenarmi e conoscere tutti i dati che vengono fuori anche da una singola corsa. Per caso ho conosciuto HRV4Training e da 3 anni è entrata a far parte della mia routine giornaliera. Con HRV4Training, più di tutto, l'overtraining oramai è solo un brutto ricordo |

Shannon Dahlum
|
I’m a gym owner, personal trainer and nutrition coach.
I use HRV4Training to track my stress load so I know how to adjust my training, my nutrition, and all other lifestyle aspects that contribute to my overall stress burden. I also have my clients use it for the same purpose. I’m currently finishing up a test run (I limited it to 15 women) of an online course I created to help women in their 30’s and 40’s learn how to decrease their stress load in order to manage hormonal balance and weight, and the HRV4Training app is what they all use for tracking their progress and learning which lifestyle factors make the biggest impact for them. |

Triathlete based in Japan who completed 6 Ironman and qualified for the Ironman World Championship in 2019.
"I have been seen huge value of monitoring HRV to control my workouts, and ultimately achieved my objective which is qualified to Ironman World Championship. And also I have certificate of NASM PES and have learnt academic perspective by taking a HRV course by Elite Academy. For the next year, my objective is to finish at 5th place at Ironman World Championship as an athlete. I have been thinking that it would be valuable if I could prove the value of HRV through my training and share it on SNS as a trainer" |
Jorge Pérez Córdoba
|
I have been competing in Powerlifting (IPF) since 2009 till today and I work as a self-employed strength & conditioning coach and assistant teacher in college. Currently studying a MS.c. in Sports Sciences Research to become a PhD in a few years. My main areas of interest are powerlifting, strength training, velocity based training, heart rate variability and stress.
I use HRV4training with myself and some of my trainees. With HRV4training I see how different stressors affect HRV and with that information I take better choices with programming. For example, I can decide to lower training volume or incorporate additional recovery modalities if my HRV is lower than normal for a few weeks. |

Sono Vanessa, titolare di due centri estetici a Roma e in provincia. Mamma di un bambino meraviglioso di poco più di due anni e una vera addicted all'allenamento contro resistenza.
Allenarmi per me è un toccasana, una medicina contro stress e eventuali malumori giornalieri! A volte è difficile e come tutti faccio i salti mortali per incastrare impegni e attività fisica, ma ne vale sempre molto la pena! Uso HRV4Training quotidianamente per gestire l'intensità dell'allenamento e per capire quali sono i fattori che lo influenzano |

I am the Head Coach of the High Performance Program out of Potomac Boat Club. I oversee pre-elite and elite level rowers who are training to represent the USA at the PanAm Games, World Championships, and Olympic Games. I have coached 7 boats at the World Championships across five years.
We use HRV4Training in a couple of ways. First, we use it as a tool to help the athlete better understand the relationship between training/recovery/stress and their performance. Second, we use it as a mechanism through which the athlete can communicate how they are feeling to their coach using a common language. Third, we are able to identify individualized patterns and it allows us to better monitor training progress - helping us know when to push harder and when to back off. |

Katherine Henderson
|
Triathlon Coach - level 2 British Triathlon
Competitive athlete, having regularly competed for GB age group (Best result being a European Gold Medal). I had a baby in 2019 of this year and so the comeback has begun. I did my first Olympic Distance triathlon recently in Yarrawonga for my daughter's 5 month Birthday and placed 2nd in AG, which I am immensely proud of after having a baby! Now the work to build my speed and strength again has begun. I use HRV4 training both as a coach and as an athlete. It has taught me about more than just using HR as an indicator of sickness, fatigue etc when addressing your daily/weekly plan. It has provided a constant piece of data to allow analysis to take place, and a yardstick as to whether you should be taking a rest. |

Clinical exercise and movement specialist. Running coach. Clinical pilates and cancer rehab specialist. MSC sport/exercise science and BASES certified exercise practitioner. Author of the bowel cancer recovery toolkit. Work with a wide range of patients and clients after surgery during treatment and burned out runners.
I recommend HRV4training to many of my clients and wrote about it in my recent book. I work with a lot of clients who are post surgery cancer treatment chronic fatigue and burned out runners. I am passionate about recovery based training and using HR generally for all aspects of training. Using HRV4training brings so much more insight and intuition to people especially those who are vulnerable. It's an amazing tool and highlights all aspects of lifestyle and helps people understand sleep alcohol and other aspects of their life and how their recovery is affected. |
Pawel Chalacis
|
I’ve been doing triathlons for few years now. What started as a weight loss goal (I was way over 90kgs), ended up becoming a true passion. I’ve finished 7 Ironman races and many 70.3 and shorter distances and now I’m trying to qualify for 70.3 worlds.
Being a software engineer I’m a data geek so I try to measure and quantify everything I can. I’ve been using HRV4Training to correlate how I feel to how my training goes, I’ve learned that sometimes I should push harder when I don’t feel like doing so (but my HRV is in green), other times to take it easier when I’d like to push. |

PhD Physiologist with the University of Brighton, in collaboration with British Swimming and the English Institute of Sport. I am based in the Loughborough National Training Centre for Swimming, working with the coaches of multiple Commonwealth, World and Olympic medal winning swimmers. I am also a keen amateur runner/triathlete myself
I have used HRV4Training for over three years, having worked to demonstrate the validity of PPG technology for HRV measurement back in 2016; dramatically altering the cost:benefit sum previously associated with HRV in the favour of the athlete. I personally use HRV4Training to guide adjustments to my training periodisation based on weekly trends, to inform my return to training after illnesses, and in line with other metrics even use it to guide daily decision making around the intensity of the session I do. Working in elite sport I also use the coaching platform as a starting point for conversations with coaches around their athlete's training, wellness and adaptation. |

I am a medical doctor working for the NHS and running is my saviour! I started running 2 years ago to help with stress management associated with work and a bad relationship and have never looked back. I have run 2 marathons in the last year and am working towards a third with an aim to complete all the world marathon majors
I have found HRV4Training invaluable since I started using it several months ago. I am a bit of a geek about all things physiological and how both physical and emotional stress can impact our exercise and daily life. I love to see the trends and patterns and use it to guide how intense my workouts are. |

Eran corredores de ultratrail y medir la HRV nos ha ayudado a gestionar de mejor manera la carga del entrenamiento y tomar mejores decisiones en sus entrenamientos." |

I'm an Ultra Marathon runner based out of Wanaka in New Zealand. In 2020 I'm training for two 100km races that are part of the Ultra-Trail World Tour - Tarawera Ultra Marathon and Ultra-Trail Australia. I spend a lot of time in the mountains and out on adventures. I enjoy learning new skills and also cross-train with cycling and swimming. I use HRV4Training to monitor my heart rate daily and look for early signs of overtraining or other abnormalities and adjust my training accordingly. |

True to my motto, I support each of my customers with advice and knowledge about sports and nutrition. As a personal trainer and coach, I look after a wide range of clients - from health-conscious sports beginners to high-performance and professional athletes. Thorough diagnostics and targeted nutrition are, in my view, the most valuable building blocks for health-oriented and efficient training. I use HRV4Training daily for screening of my physical status |

I have been doing cycling competitively since i was 11. this year I have been unwell after an operation in December and then some broken bones... in accidents this year. So currently I'm on the build to get back to racing for my Belgium team in mid 2020. I find HRV4Training useful as a tool to gauge my training load. Which is important as I'm starting from zero fitness.
I have been suffering from a sinus infection for most of 2018 while racing in Europe. HRV4Training enabled me to manage racing, training and being sick an on antibiotics. HRV4Training helped me to have my most successful season thus far. |
