Why do back-to-back readings sometimes produce different results?
Multiple readings taken in a row can sometimes produce different results. Here are a few reasons this can happen.
Why Green Isn’t Always Good
The Morning Readiness gauge indicates your state of relative balance. In other words, it is comparing your HRV values to your recent past and telling you whether your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is in a similar state or if it is swinging widely outside of your norm.
How the HRV Baseline Works
During the first week, the app is establishing your baseline. It is looking to see what your average HRV values are as well as how much they fluctuate (standard deviation and coefficient of variation).
The 1-10 Relative Balance Score (Morning Readiness)
The Morning Readiness gauge indicates your state of relative balance. In other words, it is comparing your HRV values to your recent past and telling you whether your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is in a similar state or if it is swinging widely outside of your norm.
What do the Green, Yellow, and Red indicators mean on the Morning Readiness reading analysis?
Grey: You see this indicator type on your first Morning Readiness reading (or if you haven’t taken a MR reading in a while). The grey indicator with a score of n/a shows that you need to establish a baseline of a few days to compare to before you can start receiving Morning Readiness scores, indicators, and recommendations.
How is Morning Readiness determined?
After several days of taking Morning Readiness readings, Elite HRV begins to form your personal HRV baseline.
