Frequently Asked Questions
What is a normal 1-minute heart rate recovery (HRR)?
A 1-minute post-exercise drop of 20 to 30 bpm indicates a healthy, conditioned heart. Elite endurance athletes frequently drop 35 to 50 bpm within 60 seconds.
What does a low heart rate recovery score mean?
A drop of 12 bpm or less correlates with severe autonomic nervous system fatigue, chronic overtraining, dehydration, or potential cardiovascular risks.
