Comprehensive HRV analysis with daily alcohol intake as a metric
With HRV being measured by more and more people using a smartwatch, this value is also becoming more interesting for coaches. For coaches, it is important to know whether an athlete consumes alcohol because there is a dose response relationship between alcohol consumption and a lower HRV value. It would be good if an athlete could add in the metrics that he drank alcohol and how much. In addition, more comprehensive analyses could add value for coaches. A graph with standard deviations and bandwidth. A table with the weekly average HRV value could also be of added value as well as the weekly coefficient of variation. This is also valuable in WKO 5.
This is now rolling out in the new Metrics modal. You can click on a metric card on a day and see HRV, RHR and Sleep duration trends and 'normal' range. This is available for Garmin Health with more devices supported soon!
Your athletes can enter alcohol consumption in the Notes field for now with future enhancements supporting more metric tracking.
