| book description |

Understand heart rate variability and its role in athletic performance. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a valuable tool used to assess cardiac function, evaluate mental and emotional well-being, and—when used by athletes and coaches—optimize training based on each athlete's unique data. Written by a world-renowned author team, Heart Rate Variability: Science and Strategies for Peak Performance introduces the fundamentals of HRV and provides practical guidance on how to measure and interpret HRV data, train smarter, prevent injuries, manage stress, and improve overall health. With coverage spanning everything from factors affecting HRV to ways to enhance training, this book will help coaches, trainers, and athletes appreciate just how much performance can be influenced by this physiological measurement. Explanations of data collection, interpretation, and application to training are included, making it easy to take action based on what you learn. Physical monitoring isn't the only thing HRV data can be used for; the authors also describe how mental training can be used jointly with HRV measurements to enhance performance and manage psychological stress. Learn from the experts and then incorporate data into your training with a 30-day challenge centered around consistently measuring, interpreting, and improving your HRV. What is your heart telling you? Earn continuing education credits/units! A continuing education exam that uses this book is also available. It may be purchased separately or as part of a package that includes both the book and exam.
