I don't go super deep into the science behind it because I am still researching and learning, but I know enough to take you through how you measure it, why you want to, and how to use the data. The app that I mention on this show is Elite HRV which can be found at http://www.elitehrv.com/. The heart rate straps that I mention that are compatible with the app are the following:Wahoo Tickr ($49) or the updated and more feature rich Wahoo TickrX ($99)Polar H7 ($49) I personally use the Wahoo Tickr and love it.
