I just wondering if when syncing from HealthFit, files brings hearth rate measurement when import HRV data (rMSSD, SDNN, etc…) I can see on HealthFit app the hearth rate and HRV data measured manually (mindfulness) with Apple Watch (via breathe app on it).
As you can see my morning HR was 51, but the synced RHR from Healthfit is 43 (yesterday’s RHR), it does not work for my trending analysis.
My issue is the following, Resting Hearth rate from Apple Watch or health app in IOS is last day resting hearth rate (the day before), not my actual HR after wake up at the morning (according with apple, RHR does not use sleep HR to calculate RHR).
HRV Apps use the morning reading as a guide for computing and build trends for consistency measurement including HR.
Is it possible to use the HR measured at the morning (mindfulness) as my resting hearth rate in intervals after synced? Or maybe show it in Intervals in order to make charts and follow it as other metrics?
On the calendar view, click on the date portion of a day. There is an option for Wellness Data, click on that. Manually enter which ever HR you want to use as RHR. There are also fields for HRV (SDNN) and HRV (rMSSD)
Each morning I manually enter the previous day’s RHR. Yes, automation is nice, but it takes me all of 3s to manually enter the RHR. Although, I guess I could try the auto import of Garmin Wellness data to see what happens.
I think you might need to contact the HealthFit developer and as that the resting HR field on Intervals.icu only be updated with the morning HR. I think most people would prefer that.
That’s what I thought I liked as well. But after 3 years of using hrv4training I noticed that I could consciously influence the HRV morning reading. During the past year I’ve been using the Polar Vantage M to capture sleeping data. When comparing the two data sets the trends were very much aligned and what I was most interested in. Since ditching the hrv4training morning reading I’ve become more attuned to the Polar HRV nightly readings. I find that in combination with the nightly rHR they indicate rather well what’s going on in my body, cannot be consciously influenced, and simplify things by reducing the number of steps and apps. Thus, Polar nightly HRV and rHR data are my go-to.
I’m digging this one, cause I’ve a question that is somewhat tied to this topic.
So I have Apple Watch to measure my hrv and resting heart rate, after analyzing my data I got a bit suspicious about the quality overall. My doubts were confirmed when it comes to HRV - https://medium.com/@altini_marco/how-to-make-sense-of-your-apple-watch-heart-rate-variability-hrv-data-89bf4a510438 - apple simply provides an average value of your last 24hrs, which is pointless for training purposes. Same goes for resting heart rate - it measures resting heart rate only during times youre still during the day - not providing crucial stat about my hr in the morning.
What reading do you use for resting heart rate from apple watch? Is it avg or lowest from manual HRV reading in Mindfulness app?
Hi @Tito , yes I use the same way to measure my HRV. Question is though, which value are you taking for resting heart rate though? Avg or lowest HR value during your 2minute HRV measurement?
Is this scientifically OK to treat it as resting hr?
HRV4Training gives you the value, which for me corresponds to the avg of the measurement’s time when checked.
I am not scientific but for me, most importance here is consistency, there is a difference in resting HR and sleeping HR, so for my training I use my morning HR (after sitting up using the protocol) as my resting HR.
