What's Really Holding You Back? | The Secrets Of Heart Rate Variability With WHOOP

[@steven6358]

Not sure why all the hateful comments. This video was amazing. Very informative and great questions / answers asked. Watched it several times. The science behind recover is very interesting and is definitely more than just "get some rest". It's great to be able to quantify why I feel great from one day to the next when I haven't seemingly done anything different. Thanks guys!

[@doozlamuller7887]

Steven Palomino yeah, don’t understand so much negativity, wouldn’t mind giving it a go for 6 months, might help me stop drinking as much. And improve my biking performance.

[@danklegsjay]

Yes, please, more analyses like this! As someone who has just started following pro cycling as a spectator sport in the past couple years, content like this is super instructive to understand what's happened in the race (and what the consequences may be for future stages) with greater nuance.

[@gcn]

Thanks Jake, it's intricate and fascinating stuff eh?

[@danklegsjay]

@@gcn I actually meant to leave this comment on another video, I think-one of the longer stage analysis videos Si and Dan did toward the end of TdF-but I'd watched it on my Roku and then typed the comment on my phone after the fact, and I must've clicked the wrong video. Anyway, more in-depth race analysis was the ask! That said, HRV is pretty neat stuff too, and I'll keep an eye out for videos about it, too. I'm actually thinking of trying Whoop, but not just for the training benefits. When I started cycling, it wasn't something I did for positive mental health outcomes, but after having spent a couple years pushing myself to ride greater distances at faster speeds, I have definitely noticed improvements in my alertness, my ability sustain deep focus and attention, my capacity to manage stress and anxiety, and my general mood and disposition... and, wouldn't you know it, HRV is strongly correlated with all those things, too. Another KZbinr has a great video on the subject: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goDIanqEeql-kJo So maybe HRV training isn't just a fitness hack, but a life hack more generally.

So many people complaining in the comments about the price of the product and/or service. Please stop already. If you cannot afford it, don’t buy it. If you prefer a different product, just use that. Nobody is forcing you to make any purchases here. It’s like the people who cry that GCN doesn’t review low end bicycles. Guess what? Few people would watch it. The Mazda 2 is a great little economy runabout, but we all want to see Ferraris track tested not Mazda 2s. The same reason we want the scoop on Super Record EPS equipped Colnagos or E-Tap equipped S-Works Venges. Most of us will never get the opportunity to try these things for ourselves, and most of us cannot afford to buy them. So we enjoy learning about them through our beloved GCN presenters. Keep up the good work, GCN! #nocrybabies

[@shawnbottom4769]

This needs to be expounded upon. They explain that reduced HRV is from stress and that stress can have many sources. But what do you do with that information? Not train at all that day? Train in a lower zone? I don't get to pick and choose when I have time to ride so I certainly wouldn't let an HR device keep me off the bike. In fact that's counter-intuitive since the bike IS my stress relief!

[@Ystadcop]

Complicated but most informative. Excellent.

[@playandteach]

Anyone else fascinated by the water in her glass going up? I thought Si listened really well (not easy with Jet Lag, and with vocal fry- at least I struggle with that) and asked really astute questions, and she responded well to his questions, none of which sounded scripted. Personally I don't train enough to zoom in on marginal gains on recovery - I just need to get on the bike more.

[@kierenkd]

[@Grunchy005]

Medlife Crisis would look at this and probably laugh his ass off, he has a "duck like a quack" series going on, maybe he'll spend a moment to debunk the whole HRV concept. Or maybe not, who knows, he seems like a busy individual. But it's interesting you've got one math buffin and one kinesiology guy, together they spin some crazy theories in the absence of any actual health care individuals. I really liked the lady's explanation about HRV reacting meaninglessly to everything in the world but less so at night when you're sleeping dreamlessly, yet the photo from the peloton shows some guy wearing his WHOOP while riding and presumably not sleeping dreamlessly. And expecting some worthwhile result? Or just psyching out the gullible. Who could know?!

[@arnecarrette8624]

After watching this I still have no idea how it helps recovery. Her explanation isn't clear at all.

[@indonesiaamerica7050]

HRV is an indicator. I don't think they actually explained what to do with this insight. Basically, you need to monitor this data (ideally, 24/7) and then pay attention to patterns. If you use Garmin (or similar) fitness monitors (I use a Fenix 5 and a Forerunner 935) it will throw out scores based on algorithms (relationships between the various data streams that are recorded) and basically point out when you're not sleeping well or resting enough. What you can do about it is notice when you're not getting enough rest/sleep but also think about nutrition habits and timing. For me, sometimes I notice problems when I forget to drink enough water in the hours after long sessions and if I drink something like a soda in the middle of the day without a meal. This shows up as "erratic" heart rate "beat to beat" or "HRV" but also elevated HR-BPM (beats per minute) compared to normal (for you) and then you have to figure out what is happening. For me it also matters if I add protein to my breakfast (I tend to eat only a little since I start hard sessions within an hour of waking up). Since all of your exercise is also recorded it will flag you as overtrained or whatever. If not, you have to figure out what you're doing differently that is not recorded directly by your hardware. Also, if you want to take a more detailed HRV test some of the better straps will do it (instead of filtering and averaging BPM it actually records the precise time of each beat) and create a FIT file for you to look at. The next step is getting an ECG from a cardiologist if you think you need it.

[@sudduthjonathan]

I've been tracking my HRV and resting HR via different apps since November and now Whoop. The way I feel during the day and during workouts is noticeably different when I am rested and without high levels of stress being placed on my system. But the balance between high recovery and making fitness gains is the key balancing point. The point here is that these devices mostly only measure these values. It's up to you to figure out what you can and shouldn't do to improve your recovery and strain. You need to experiment and track these things over time to really understand how it applies to you. For example, say you have a race on Saturday. Should you train hard Tuesday and Wednesday, take Thursday off, and go light on Friday? Or, do you need to back off more and take Friday completely off? You start to understand how training and the rest of your life adds to the overall picture.

[@usersense5738]

Heart rate variability can't be measured accurately over night like the Whoop strap does. It needs to be measured seated, every morning under the same conditions with an accurate monitor. The Morpheus M5 strap uses the only clinical validated monitor to measure HRV for consumer purposes. Also from a recovery standpoint, most wearables measuring HRV, show a sudden high increase in HRV as good, resulting in a better recovery score, which is not the case. When HRV suddenly rises, the parasympathetic branch (also known as the 'rest and digest' system) of the autonomic nervous system gets dominant meaning the body is trying to recover from any mental and/or physical stress. So adding too much training load may result in a low HRV score because the body wasn't fully recovered and shifts back to the sympathetic branch (the 'fight or flight' system) due to additional stressors. A higher training load would be appropriate again when the HRV score returns to basline (which is the average HRV score of a certain period).

Dear Whoop, if youre paying for promotion at gcn try to make some meaningful and interesting presentation. This was first video from gcn I didnt manage to finish...

[@bmccall30]

I was going to watch another video, but now I just want to sleep. Zzzzzz...

Sweet dreams!

[@RagaWolf88]

Main reason I put these types of videos on mate, They send us too sleep 👍😌

Not sure what she really said? Don't think Si did either?? :):)

I'm a numbers nerd and have been doing EliteHRV for about the past year or so. It is hard to get a good HRV reading when you first wake up because you start thinking about stuff immediately, or at least I do, and that appears to skew the numbers a bit. This might be a better idea. We'll see.

Same. I usually wake up to a toddler needing attention, it's difficult to have a quick piss and put a chest strap on en route to her bedroom. Just ordered the 18 month WHOOP, I'll see how it goes. Certainly need more sleep 😂

Was it me or did anyone else’s heart rate go up when she talked?

[@SJ_Dusty]

Due to my medical conditions heart and kidney transplants. i always take days to recover from even short rides. And my heart doesn’t respond like most people’s due to lack of neves does that mean that my data from my garmin watch will be fairly un reliable. Let alone if i was to invest in one of these ?

[@Vermonstered]

Basically are you asking if your heart rate can be tracked by ECG or optical light sensor? If you can't accurately be tracked by an ECG device due to your condition any optical based system will be better but they have their down falls as well as it relies upon a sensor pressed hard enough into the skin that no outside light enters the sensor.

OhAiShare sort of yea my heart only has major neves attached all the really small neves are not as they would be to difficult too. Ecgs can read my heart but things like the pads and wires are in slightly different positions to be accurate. As a result i suffer from tacicardia and longer to get my heart rate up and once its up can take longer to drop back to resting my resting heart rate is usually fairly high as a result. Im a bit over weight witch doesn’t help but thats why I’ve taken up cycling. But thanks for the reply

Liked the video despite the massively misleading title.
