Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measures the variation in time between your heartbeats, providing insight into your autonomic nervous system function and overall health resilience. Higher HRV generally indicates better stress resilience, recovery capacity, and overall health, while lower HRV can suggest stress, overtraining, or health issues. HRV is influenced by factors like sleep quality, stress levels, fitness, and age.
