Live interview with Founder of HRV4 Training - Marco Altini, looking at using how we can measure and use Heart Rate Variability (HRV) in our training and coaching. HRV looks at the variability between heartbeats. Heart rhythm, and therefore HRV, is regulated by the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system, the one in charge of rest and relaxation.
HRV4 Training states that HRV is an effective way to capture how our body is coping while trying to maintain a state of balance in response to different stressors such as training, lifestyle, etc.
We interview Marco to discuss how he developed this app and how we can use it in our everyday training and running. Marco Altini has a PhD cum laude in Data Science, MSc cum laude in Computer Science Engineering, MSc cum laude in Human Movement Sciences, High-Performance Coaching. He is the founder of HRV4Training, ​Data Science Advisor at Oura, Guest Lecturer at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Physiology section of the Department of Human Movement Sciences) and has 10+ years of experience modeling physiological data, and 50+ publications at the intersection between technology, health, and performance.
