heart rate variability

“It's generally between five and 6.5 breaths per minute, but everyone is slightly different, and we're able to maximize HRV on each breath.”

“There is evidence, certainly, that chronic alcohol use chronically lowers HRV.”

“Music, for some people, can really produce a heightened HRV effect, and, you know, Joe and I can talk with you later about some of the things that we did along with the breathing to maximize HRV in real time for specific performance states, but you have to fin…”

“There's no magic number, and it very much depends on your body, your system, your experiences in life. There are some people just born innately with higher levels of HRV. They tend, it's interesting, Shane, they tend to be endurance athletes.”

“And so, you know, it being my first year, you know, as a head coach, I wanted to work on myself. I wanted to build an awareness of myself, how my body, how my mind, how my heart reacts to stress so that I could be a precursor for our team, so that I could be t…”

“So the larger your HRV, the more control you have over your autonomic response to stress before, during, and after a stressor.”

“Certainly HRV, high HRV is associated with better sleep. Low HRV is associated with conditions like insomnia and sleep apnea. Non-restorative sleep will negatively impact HRV, so there is this circular effect”
