Why Top Performers Count on Heart Rate Variability

Originally developed by Russian scientists and performance coaches, Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is an accurate, non-invasive measure of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) – the subconscious part of you responsible for automatically responding to environmental stimuli.

The ANS is impacted by every part of your lifestyle: how you exercise, recover, eat, sleep, and perceive mental stress.

When healthy, the ANS helps you feel and perform your best. With too much total stress, you feel more anxious and fatigued – preventing you from effectively training and hurting your overall health and sense of wellbeing.

With HRV, you get scientifically-validated quantified insight into the state of your ANS.

Unlike basic Heart Rate (HR), which simply counts the number of heartbeats per minute, HRV monitors the exact changes in time between successive heartbeats.

(Heart rate can vary significantly from beat to beat, even during physical exertion!)

The amount of variability depends on your total physical and mental stress – the more variability, the “healthier” your ANS, and the more you can handle and adapt from additional stress like an intense workout session.

You already know the key to maximizing your training results: optimizing the balance between training and recovery. 

By taking a daily 2-minute reading using the CorSense HRV monitor and Elite HRV app, you’ll understand how training stress and recovery impact you, and use that information to train smarter AND harder.

It’s like getting a compass that guides you towards consistent gains, peak performance and enhanced health and wellbeing.

Today’s top athletes are using HRV to ensure they train the optimal amount to get stronger, go longer, move faster, and train smarter in sports like:

• Marathon and long distance running
• Cycling
• Swimming
• Triathlon
• Powerlifting
• Crossfit
• MMA

And you should too.

CorSense is a convenient, highly-accurate HRV monitor for athletes and fitness and health enthusiasts at every level.

Why Top Performers Count on Heart Rate Variability

Originally developed in the 1950s and ‘60s by Russian scientists and performance coaches, Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is an accurate, non-invasive measure of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) – the subconscious arm of the nervous system responsible for automatically responding to environmental stimuli.

The ANS is impacted by every part of your lifestyle: how you exercise, recover, eat, sleep, and perceive mental stress.

When healthy, the ANS helps you feel and perform your best. When overly strained, you experience higher levels of anxiety and fatigue – impacting your ability to effectively train as well as your overall health and sense of wellbeing.

With HRV, you get scientifically-validated quantified insights into the state of your ANS.

Unlike basic Heart Rate (HR), which simply counts the number of heartbeats per minute, HRV monitors the exact changes in time between successive heartbeats (aka inter-beat intervals, RR intervals, or NN intervals).

Contrary to popular belief, heart rate can vary significantly from beat to beat, even at a consistent level of physical exertion.

The level of variability is determined by your total physical and mental stress – the more variability, the “healthier” your ANS, and the more you’re able to handle and improve from additional stressors like intense workout sessions.

You already know the key to maximizing your training results: optimizing the balance between training and recovery. HRV technology is a compass to guide you in doing just that.

By taking a daily 2-minute reading using the CorSense HRV sensor and Elite HRV app, you understand how training stress and recovery impact you, and use that information to train smarter AND harder.

It’s like getting a compass that guides you towards consistent gains and peak performance.

For decades, HRV has (for the most part) only been available to professional athletes and researchers able to afford extremely expensive equipment.

CorSense is a convenient, highly-accurate HRV monitor for athletes and fitness and health enthusiasts at every level.

Today’s top athletes are using HRV to ensure they train the optimal amount to get stronger, go longer, move faster, and train smarter in sports like:

• Marathon and long distance running
• Cycling
