Question 1

What is HRV (Heart Rate Variability)?

Accepted Answer

HRV measures the microscopic variation in time between each heartbeat. A higher HRV indicates that your autonomic nervous system is balanced and ready to adapt to stress. A lower HRV than your normal baseline is a strong indicator of fatigue, stress, or impending illness.

Question 2

Why compare to a 7-day baseline instead of a fixed number?

Accepted Answer

Biometrics are highly individual. An HRV of 45ms might be fantastic for one person but terrible for an elite athlete. By comparing today's numbers against your own 7-day average, we remove genetic biases and purely analyze your current state of recovery.

Question 3

What exactly is "Active Recovery" (Zone Zero)?

Accepted Answer

Active recovery involves low-intensity movements that increase blood flow without heavily taxing the nervous system or tearing muscle fibers. Think of a 30-minute brisk walk, light cycling, mobility drills, or yoga. It actively aids in clearing metabolic waste faster than complete rest.

Question 4

Can I still train if my score is low?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you should auto-regulate your volume and intensity. If the system suggests reducing volume by 20%, drop one set from every exercise or lower the weight. Pushing through a low readiness score significantly increases your risk of injury and overtraining syndrome.
