A Quantitative Systematic Review of Normal Values for Short-Term Heart Rate Variability in Healthy Adults: REVIEW OF SHORT-TERM HRV VALUES
Abstract.
“Heart rate variability (HRV) is a known risk factor for mortality in both healthy and patient populations. There are currently no normative data for short-term measures of HRV. A thorough review of short-term HRV data published since 1996 was therefore performed. Data from studies published after the 1996 Task Force report (i.e., between January 1997 and September 2008) and reporting short-term measures of HRV obtained in normally healthy individuals were collated and factors underlying discrepant [ ... ]”

I have Camera HRV and HRV Logger installed and am just starting to learn and accumulate data. Dropbox is filling fast.

My Apple Watch measures HRV, although it is not a medical grade device.

I have exercised for 61 straight days (light to moderate, nothing heavy) and my HRV has fluctuated over that time between 17 and 33 ms.

In the two months prior, the graph looks a lot more jumpy. The numbers varied between 14 and 43.

This would seem to indicate that regular exercise reduces HRV—which would be a bad thing. That is counter-intuitive.

Heart rate variability and police performance: The next evolution in training?

By:Michael J. Asken, Ph.D. Officer Kathy Vonk Tricia Sterland, MS, CSCSSome time ago, Siddle (1995) raised awareness of the relationship of heart rate to

Grossman (2004) then popularized useful “condition” categories for various heart rate levels and emotional arousal from Colonel Jeff Cooper, Dave Smith and Chuck Remsberg, which are now well known as ranging from condition white through conditions yellow and red to condition black.

A further development was the realization that these relationships were not as consistent as first thought; and that experience, training and other factors could allow officers and operators to perform at high levels despite increased heart rates. There is now a likely new evolution developing from the expanding research that suggests that, more than heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV) may be an important factor in effective performance during high stress situations.

Great, folks now willingly send their physiological data to iMacAppleTunes.com

Like those DNA websites..."send us a swab and we'll tell you that you are a white guy whose ancestors came from northern Europe"...
