Omegawave vs HRV4Training

Channel all your work in the right direction. Raise the bar by knowing which days to push training to the limits; measure daily and assess the internal response to competition, hard training, travel, stress, diet, sleep, and other lifestyle factors. Make informed training and game-day decisions based on objective data regarding the Cardiac, Central Nervous and Energy Supply systems. Stay fresh and stay in the game by knowing when to be mindful of injury prevention and recovery. Based on the same technology as the Omegawave Team system (used by professional clubs and franchises around the globe), Omegawave Coach doesn’t simply offer raw numerical data—the system provides actionable information and solutions on what should be done next. For coaches and team leaders: The application displays a streamlined view of every individual on the team. Indexes show the functional state of the CNS, Cardiac, and Energy Supply systems and provide a score for Omegawave Readiness™. Use the color-coded grouping to simplify and speed up daily decision making; individualize sessions to avoid chronic fatigue and risk factors for overtraining. For individuals and team members: The product allows individuals to test themselves remotely, with the data made available to the coaching staff. Coaches and team leaders can monitor their team members' progress with private trainers and specialists, or within the context of a formal off-site training program. Empower individuals to manage their own daily Readiness and train safely and productively in situations where coaching contact is limited by contract or rule. Key features: - Omegawave Readiness™ summary for each athlete and for the group as a whole. - Detailed reports on the current functional state of the Cardiac, CNS and Energy Supply systems alongside trend-view graphs. - Advanced analysis of each athlete’s primary biological systems, including the CNS DC Curve view and multiple HRV views. - Individualized Windows of Trainability™ and target Heart Rate Training Zones for each athlete. - Individualized, actionable Training Advice for each athlete. Omegawave offers solutions for teams, personal trainers, tactical teams, government organizations and professional athletes. Visit https://www.omegawave.com/professional to learn more. Please note: - Omegawave sensor and chest strap required. - Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

The first scientifically validated Heart Rate Variability (HRV) app. HRV4Training provides HRV based insights to help you quantify stress, better balance training and lifestyle, and improve performance. HRV4Training does not require a heart rate monitor, since it can accurately assess your HRV using the phone's camera. HRV4Training also works with Apple Watch, the Oura ring and all compatible Bluetooth SMART sensors. HRV4Training is also the first app that goes beyond simple measurements and provides insights on: 1) acute or day to day HRV changes in response to different stressors (alcohol, travel, sick days, training, menstruation, etc.) 2) long term multi-parameter trends to look at the big picture 3) correlations between physiological measurements and annotations 4) training load analysis, fitness, fatigue, readiness to perform and injury risk 5) VO2max estimation for runners linking the app to Strava or TrainingPeaks and using a heart rate monitor during their workouts 6) Training Polarization analysis (or 80/20) 7) Lactate Threshold Estimation for runners linking the app to Strava or TrainingPeaks and using a heart rate monitor during their workouts 8) Weekly and monthly summaries to track progress. All data is processed inside the app in order to provide you with actionable interpretations that can help optimizing your training plan and performance. Supported devices for the camera measurement: iPhones 5, 5S, 6, 6S, 6+, 6S+, SE, 7, 7+, 8, 8+, X, XS, XS Max, XR, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12 mini, 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 13 mini, 13, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, 14, 14 Plus, 14 Max, 14 Pro, 15, 15 Max, 15 Pro, 16, 16 Max, 16 Pro Currently unsupported devices for the camera measurement: iPhones 4S, iPads and iPods - These devices require a chest strap. Other features: - HRV-based advice helps you to adapt your trainings based on objective measures of recovery - TAGS: lets you tag your sleep, mental energy, muscle fatigue, stress and all other parameters that can help you understand what is influencing your physical condition and physiological stress - Works with Bluetooth SMART heart rate monitors (a Polar H7 is recommended) or simply your phone's Camera - Integrates with the Health app (writes heart rate, and sleep, read sleep time) - Configurable test (single or orthostatic, choose test duration between 1, 3 or 5 minutes) - Extracts and stores the following features while lying down and/or standing: heart rate, mean of beat-to-beat intervals (AVNN), standard deviation of beat-to-beat intervals (SDNN), square root of the mean squared difference of successive R-Rs (rMSSD), number of pairs of successive R-Rs that differ by more than 50 ms (pNN50), low frequency power (LF, 0.04-0.15 Hz), high frequency power (HF, 0.15-0.40 Hz) - Shows the PPG signal view to ensure signal quality during the test if the camera is used instead of a bluetooth SMART sensor - HRV4T Recovery Points to provide a single, straightforward metric to analyze your physical condition - Population summaries and people like you comparisons to put your data into perspective - Analysis of compliance and consistency - Data export via email or Dropbox - Integrates with TrainingPeaks, Oura, Strava and Coros HRV4Training requires to register an account with your email address, so that your data can be backed up safely and retrieved in case anything happens (app issue, changing phone, etc.).
