EliteHRV.com EliteHRV.com EliteHRV.com EliteHRV.com EliteHRV.com Start with the big picture. With the big picture in mind, drill into the details.

EliteHRV.com The Bigger Picture of Human Health

• Your body and mind (and symbiotic organisms) versus the world

• The world is stressful

EliteHRV.com Environmental Societal

Mental Digestive

Physical Structural

Social *Not an exhaustive list Emotional EliteHRV.com The Bigger Picture of Human Health

• Adaptive biological organisms

• Health issues occur when:

• Acute stress exceeds chronic adaptation • or • A strong/chronic mismatch between our genes and our environment

EliteHRV.com Why Heart Rate Variability (HRV)?

HRV can non-invasively measure the body’s response to stress, and with enough data, its capacity to tolerate stress.

• Systemic, big picture metric

• Was expensive, now cheap and accessible

• Short, frequent measurements open new doors

EliteHRV.com HRV 101

• Temporal variation in heart beats

• Requires high degree of accuracy

• Many algorithms/calculations

EliteHRV.com HRV 101 –

Sympathetic Parasympathetic Nervous System (SNS) Nervous System (PSNS)

● Controls stimulation of ● Controls stimulation of “fight-or-flight” stress “rest-and-digest” activities response essential for recovery ● Needed for short term ● Needed for long term survival survival ● Associated with stress

EliteHRV.com EliteHRV.com HRV In The Research

• Decades of research

• 20,000+ studies in PubMed

• Increasing rapidly

• Still a lot to learn

EliteHRV.com In 778 athletes, HRV indices of ANS activity show strong correlation with selection for Olympic games for the Italian team

Can the use of a single integrated unitary autonomic index provide early clues for eventual eligibility for olympic games?

EliteHRV.com Athletes exhibit higher HRV than ”active” people

It is believed that Parasympathetic modulation may decline with an autonomic imbalance during the progression “from normal glucose tolerance to impaired glucose tolerance and finally diabetes”.
