Good morning Marco. Congratulations on your articles, always very interesting. I wanted to ask if, based on your experience, avoiding high-intensity training on days with low HRV (obviously due to other stressors), even with a baseline in range, is still advisable. One more question, please: when you talk about "variability," is it correct to assume "normal" is a range of 1 overall standard deviation? That is, 1/2 above and 1/2 below it? Or is it correct to assume that "normal" means 1 full standard deviation above and 1 below? Thank you very much.
thank you Vincenzo. On the acute drops, I think it depends on the reason for the drop: if our health is not great, a bit sick or else, definitely I'd recommend avoiding high intensity. However at times there are drops harder to explain, and I tend not to be overly reactive, still follow the plan, and see what happens the following day: if we re-normalize, all good, if we stay suppressed, time for a change. The standard deviation can be 1 or 0.5 or 0.75, there is no perfect rule, but different considerations apply when focusing more on the long term (baseline changes) or short term (acute changes). This is all done for you in HRV4Training Pro. Take care!
Thank you so much, Marco. Everything is very clear. I'm just discovering the HRV4TrainingPro app and I'm really fascinated by it. I'm considering doing an initial trial. Thank you so much and congratulations!
