HRV4Training vs CORE - Core Body Temperature Usage & Stats

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.).

CORE - Core Body Temperature

CORE is the first wearable sensor that accurately measures core body temperature continuously and non-invasively. Athletes can benefit from both real-time monitoring and recording data for later analysis. Designed for athletes at all levels, CORE will help improve your training and competitive performance. IMPORTANT: The CORE app is designed to work with the CORE device which you can order at www.corebodytemp.com 1. What does CORE do? CORE helps you track a critical metric for sports performance: core body temperature. This is the interior temperature of the body – including organs and other tissues – which only changes due to physiological processes such as illness, intense activity, circadian cycles or ovulation. Core body temperature rises when doing sports. It is common for some people to exceed 40°C (104°F) during high-intensity training and competition (values vary across individuals). Above a certain threshold, an elevated core body temperature triggers the cooling mechanism in your body. This diverts blood flow away from power generating muscles and uses up to 70% of cardiac output for thermoregulation. This significantly impacts athletic performance, and in extreme situations can result in “blow-ups” or “meltdowns”. CORE will help reveal your personal core body temperature threshold. This will help you to train to improve your response to heat and achieve the performance gains you are looking for. You can also use CORE to make better strategic decisions when competing. For more information about the training protocols enabled by CORE, please visit: www.corebodytemp.com CORE is being used by top cycling teams, triathletes and runners, who are implementing heat training and cooling strategies to get the performance edge they need to stand out. For more info about who’s using CORE, visit: https://corebodytemp.com/pages/who-is-using-core 2. Access your data at any time CORE stores your data in the device and connects to the app to display it. The data is also pushed to a cloud solution, where you can view it and download it for further analysis. You can even use CORE when not carrying your phone. The data will be stored in the sensor, and you only need to sync it with the app to push all the data to your online account. 3. Why is CORE different from other solutions? Prior to CORE, only invasive methods such as probes or ingestible e-pills were available. For the first time, CORE provides an accurate, continuous, non-invasive solution for monitoring core body temperature, regardless of the activity and environment. CORE’s measurement of core body temperature is accurate to within 0.21°C. 4. How does it work? The CORE device clips onto your heart-rate monitor belt or sports bra. It can also be worn using the specially designed patches . For best results, wear CORE on the same side as your Garmin or Wahoo device. CORE supports ANT+ and works with Garmin, Hammerhead, Wahoo, Suunto, COROS, AppleWatch, Navihood, wearOS, and many other platforms.
