Monitoring HRV for athlete

1

Hi,

I use intervals to coach my son in MTB, it is a wonderful site! Thanks for this.

for my own account, i sync sleep and hrv data from my Garmin Instinct 2 just fine. I would like to use HRV for my son too, but don’t want him to worry about hrv values and rhr… So don’t want him to wear an Instinct.

So far I found that a way to do this would be use a Withings Sleep Analyzer? But would that be able to sync with Intervals?

If there are any alternatives I am probably forgetting, let me know!

Regards,
Vincent

Hi Vinnie,
Withings app offer connections to Google fit and Apple Health (https://support.withings.com/hc/en-us/sections/6216083667217-Partner-Apps) ; I think you can link Google fit directly to intervals via the settings page. I am not familiar with Apple ecosystem but it seems you’d need to connect the Withings app to Apple health and then connect Apple health to Healthfit app which is available on the App Store. Intervals can then connect to health fit via the same setting page. Phew! Happy to be corrected on that.
Withings do have an open API (https://developer.withings.com/) so perhaps you can add this as a feature request and if there is enough support it’ll get bumped up the list :slight_smile:

For Google. You need to find supported app. Google Health is being sunset-ted

For Withings:

Withings is indeed able to sync to Intervals. Albeit with a step inbetween.

I’m not sure the Withings Sleep Analyzer records any sort of HRV, though.
