Night HRV using a Coros watch: preliminary tests
Currently available in HRV4Training
In the past two weeks, I have been testing a Coros watch to collect HRV data in the night (this is a feature currently in beta if you have a Coros watch).
The data looks very good, with good agreement between the Oura ring and Coros watch during this period of time, which included some meaningful variability (recent suppression below normal range). I am using a Coros Apex Pro 2 for data collection and have previously validated the Oura ring in its ability to collect accurate data in the night.
You can read your Coros night data in HRV4Training.
Or even better, you could take a morning measurement, which I highly recommend as the best protocol for endurance athletes. You can find some useful resources on this at the links below.
Thank you for reading.
Heart rate variability (HRV) measurement position: lying down, sitting or standing?
In the past year, I’ve started recommending measuring HRV while sitting, as opposed to lying down. I came to this conclusion after several conversations with a trusted expert in the field (Andrew Flatt), self-experimentation in different positions over an entire year (so that I could look at the relationship between the data and various acute and chroni…
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measurement timing: morning or night?
In this blog, I would like to highlight two key aspects to consider when deciding which measurement protocol or device to use for heart rate variability (HRV) measurement. In particular, both measurement protocols provide us with useful data to track long-term changes in physiological stress as it relates to training and health

Hello Dr. Altini , I was wondering if this feature is currently available? Recently, I purchased the COROS Pace Pro, which has the ability to measure nighttime sleep HRV. I am very excited about the possibility of seeing this feature implemented in HRV4Training. Thank you!
