IMPORTANT: Recover Faster requires a compatible Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) athletic heart rate monitor chest strap for HRV measurements. Smartwatches, fitness bands, handheld monitors, and other non-chest-strap heart rate devices are not currently supported. • For a list of compatible heart rate monitors, please visit: https://www.sweetwaterhrv.com/healthsensors.shtml Recover Faster is designed to help athletes and active individuals monitor heart rate variability (HRV), heart rate, respiration, and personal wellness metrics to better understand recovery, training load, and overall readiness. Using physiological data together with user-reported information such as sleep quality and muscle soreness, Recover Faster provides wellness insights that can help users make informed training and recovery decisions. Morning Recovery Checkup: Measure your HRV at the same time each day during a 3- or 5-minute session to establish trends over time. After each session, answer a brief series of wellness questions to receive your daily recovery score and personalized wellness recommendations. Anytime Checkup: Run a session at any time for any duration to monitor HRV, heart rate, and power levels. Sessions can be tagged with custom labels such as Relaxing, Working, Sleeping, or Meditating to help organize and review your data. History & :Export All session data is automatically saved in the History screen. HRV metrics and RR interval data can be exported in CSV format using the Share feature for further analysis or record keeping. Apple Health Integration: Recover Faster can import selected Apple Health data for viewing alongside your HRV sessions. Apple Health data is displayed for reference only and is NOT used in HRV calculations. A supported Bluetooth heart rate monitor is still required to perform HRV measurements.
