Garmin Revamps Training Readiness Abilities & HRV STATUS

via @JohnW, thank you

We learnt a while back that Garmin is launching revamped training readiness, a race widget and its HRV Status, Garmin even kindly leaked us a tantalising image of a part of all that on the 955 (image, above). We will obviously see some more details on Wednesday when the Forerunner 955 and FR 255 are released but more has just been leaked. Here’s what we knew before today

• “Personalized Reports: From the moment you wake up, get a training readiness score based on your sleep quality, recovery, training load and more, so you can determine whether it’s a good day to go hard — or take it easy. Get ready for your next race with the race widget — which provides training tips, personalized daily suggested workouts and completion time predictions based on course details, weather and performance. With HRV status, gain a deeper understanding of your overall health, recovery and training performance through HRV while you sleep, based on technology developed by Garmin’s Firstbeat Analytics™ team.”

Oh. Wait a minute. You can’t wait until Wednesday because you are a tad impatient? Fear not.

Further below I’ve listed full technical details on the HRV features in the Connect app. The info is quite long so I’ll summarise it first

A Summary & Comments

Garmin seems to be adding a measure of Training Readiness based on overnight HRV and also a broader HRV Status measure that looks at across last week.

HRV Status: Finally! Garmin seems to have ‘got’ HRV as we will see with the updates this week. Their new HRV status requires your to wear the watch at night for about 3 weeks and this then creates your typical range. I’m assuming this typical range will continually update over time although I have to point out that leading HRV tools use longer periods than 3 weeks to determine baselines.

It’s also worth pointing out that an absolute HRV value is meaningless so your typical HRV range will give Garmin the context it needs to interpret your recent HRV plus your nightly HRV. Hopefully, Garmin is moving away from 24×7 Body Battery which is interesting and looks pretty but is largely meaningless, Garmin is now focussing on nightly readings and that is where some scientific rigour can be brought to bear by interrogating full night of proper HRV readings.

Garmin has moved along similar lines to Whoop as and HRV Status introduces a comparison of the last 7 days against your baseline.

Interestingly, however, Garmin uses a less used HRV calculation called SDRR, normally others are used that include SDNN and rMSSD. If I recall, SDNN was the measure originally used by Apple but they moved to rMSSD mainly because that’s what most consumer tools in the industry use. I think SDNN and rMSSD essentially show almost the same thing and that SDNN can more naturally exclude extreme (ectopic) heartbeats? (Someone chip in please to correct that).

7-Day HRV Messages: In the image above we see that the owner is “HRV Balanced”. The new information we have shows the full spectrum of feedback messages.

Balanced – Invalid – Low – No Status – Poor – Unbalanced

It’s nice that Garmin is big enough to just be honest and say sometimes that the data can be Invalid – I would guess that MANY apps and watches try to fudge these types of information!

The information, below, shows that Garmin has 7 different feedback messages for LOW 7-day HRV. It’s not entirely clear to me whether these 7 different messages mean the same thing

Training Readiness: The Training Readiness messages below suggest that Garmin reports on your nightly HRV by interrogating changes to your lifestyle/training such as your sleep patterns, training load trends or recent HRV trend changes.

Opinion: this looks good. This MIGHT negate the need for athletes to rely on 3rd party HRV apps like HRV4Training. Don’t forget the quality of the sensor data and Garmin needs to improve there.

Full Details – from the Connect App.

Receiving an HRV Status

To receive an HRV baseline and HRV status, wear your compatible Garmin device while sleeping on most days for approximately 3 consecutive weeks. Your HRV baseline, which is a personalized measurement of your typical HRV ranges at night, will become more accurate over time as you continue to wear your device.

Your 7-Day Average

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a statistical measure of the specific changes in time between successive heartbeats. Garmin’s HRV status measurement is taken while you sleep, and it provides a 7-day average of your HRV in comparison to your personal HRV baseline.

 

 

Overnight HRV

Test Overnight HRV Gauge graph

Your Garmin device calculates two different HRV measurements: SDRR and RMSSD. Both are measured in milliseconds, and the differences between them are subtle. SDRR is the standard deviation in time between heartbeats, which is sometimes referred to as the “RR interval.” It’s a useful reading for getting a sense of overall cardiac health during regular daily activities.

<string name=”ohrv_help_description”>Heart rate variability (HRV) is a statistical measure of the specific changes in time between successive heartbeats. Garmin’s HRV status measurement is taken while you sleep, and it provides a 7-day average of your HRV in comparison to your personal HRV baseline.</string>
<string name=”ohrv_help_description_about_status”>HRV status offers an indication of how your autonomic nervous system is reacting to your environment, both physically and psychologically. Balanced HRV readings may indicate positive signs of health such as good training and recovery balance, greater cardiovascular fitness and more resilience to stress. Unbalanced, low or poor readings may be a sign of fatigue, greater recovery needs or increased stress, among other factors.\n\nWhile variations in day-to-day HRV readings are normal, having a stable, consistent 7-day HRV average is the key to maintaining a balanced HRV status. Small, gradual increases in HRV can also help you maintain a balanced status and may be a sign of improving fitness. HRV readings that increase or decrease rapidly may indicate that you are training too hard and can cause an unbalanced HRV status.\n\nIn some cases, HRV status can be improved over time by improving your training and recovery balance, getting regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, reducing stress and adopting other healthy habits. HRV values can vary widely based on gender, age, fitness level and even from person to person.</string>

Your HRV baseline, which is a personalized measurement of your typical HRV ranges at night, will become more accurate over time as you continue to wear your device.\n\nAfter you sync your device, you will receive a timeline of your HRV in Garmin Connect for each period of sleep, as well as an assessment of whether your 7-day HRV average is balanced, unbalanced or low compared to your baseline. HRV status can also be rated as poor if it is well below normal ranges for your age. Over time, Garmin Connect generates 7-day and 4-week HRV status reports to help you recognize trends.</string>

<string name=”tr_help_first_section”>In addition to a numeric score that ranges from 0 to 100, you will receive a rating of prime, high, moderate, low or poor for your training readiness. This is accompanied by a feedback phrase that explains your current training readiness or provides suggestions on how to manage it.\n\nTraining readiness is continuously calculated and changes dynamically on your Garmin device throughout the day. However, only your score early each morning from your Preferred Activity Tracker is displayed in Garmin Connect for that day.</string>
<string name=”tr_help_screen_subtitle”>Training readiness measures factors such as sleep, recovery time, training load, stress and HRV status to determine how prepared you are to benefit from training on that day.</string>
<string name=”tr_help_second_section”>To receive a training readiness score, wear your Garmin device continuously for three consecutive days, including during sleep. (Some factors, such as training load and HRV status, take a bit longer to calculate accurately.) If you do not wear your device during sleep, you may still receive a training readiness rating, but you will not receive a numeric score for that day. The more frequently you wear your device, the more accurate your training readiness estimates will become over time.</string>
<string name=”tr_help_second_section_title”>Receiving a Training Readiness Score</string>
<string name=”tr_help_third_section”>Training readiness can be a valuable metric as you are training for an event, or just for training in general. Ratings of prime or high may indicate that you could get a lot of benefit from training on that day. Moderate ratings mean that you are ready to train, but you may have a factor or two that is worth your attention. Low or poor ratings are an indication that it might be time to ease up a bit before challenging the body again. The dynamic feedback phrases will also provide insights on things that you can work on to improve your training readiness scores in the future.\n\nWith your training readiness score, keep in mind that fatigue can sometimes be beneficial. It allows the body to recover and adapt in order to achieve even greater training benefits. Therefore, you can continue to train occasionally even if your current readiness is at a lower level.\n\nOver time, you can use the training readiness reports in Garmin Connect to look at your historic training readiness and recognize trends. This can help you optimize your training readiness moving forward.</string>
