Heart rate variability (HRV) refers to beat-by-beat changes in heart rate.
HRV is mediated by autonomic nervous system (ANS) 1 and scientific studies have shown HRV can be used as a non-invasive measure of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity.
HRV reflects the control of heart. Heart reflects body’s physiological processes and demands such as exercise status, hormonal reactions, metabolism, cognitive processes, stress reactions, relaxation/recovery, sleeping and emotions.

OUR APPROACH
17 May 2019
10
Firstbeat wants to truly understand how human body works for providing the most accurate and meaningful feedback for anyone interested on wellbeing, health and performance.
Firstbeat analytics is based on applying heart rate variability and other sensor information and packing that into compelling UX on human physiology.
Firstbeat analytics has been developed to form a comprehensive network of algorithms during 20 years by expert teams of physiology, mathematics, and software development.
1. Collect data in a lab
3. Test & validate
4. Improve constantly
2. Build algorithms

AEROBIC EFFECTS OF TRAINING
• Improved VO2max, endurance and fatigueresistance abilities
• Improved aerobic metabolism due to highercapillary density and aerobic enzyme activity
• Enhanced ability to use fat as energy source
• Improved central and peripheral blood flow, ventilation/pulmonary fitness

• Improved ability to produce high-levels of energy anaerobically and turn that into sprinting performance
• Improved anaerobic metabolism and enzymeactivity
• Elevated CP and ATP stores in the muscles
• Enhanced glucose and glycogen metabolism
• Biomechanical & neuromuscular adaptation
