Your Parasympathetic activity appears to be abnormally elevated. This often means your body is actively recovering or possibly beginning to over reach. Lighter activity is recommended

Very interesting. Since joining I have been following your posts and doing research on the Oura Ring. Does the HRV info also come from Oura or is it two spectate things?

Also I see the Parasympathetic advice on lighter activity. Have you ever put this to the test and noticed less performance as a result?

Oura ring analysis your heart rate variability whil you sleep and will then give you a readiness score based on its own algorithms but there is no raw date whereas the HRV Elite app you can either wear certain type of chest straps or a finger sensor called CorSense and then you do a 4 or 5 minute test and that then gives you a score based on your Sympathetic or Parasympathetic dominance

I used to use the HRV Elite app with a chest strap up until Dec 2018 then I purchased the Oura ring, recently purchased the. OrSense so utilising both atm

I had found from this that assuming volume is equated I need a days rest normally after 2 days of training, used to train 6 days a week but now I train only 4
