How Does It Work?
The compact Firstbeat Bodyguard 3 device, a clinical-grade ECG heart rate monitor, is worn by clients for periods of 1-5 days, which precisely and reliably measures their HRV. The data is then fed back to the client and trainer through the Firstbeat Life app and admin tools. The data reveals the stress and recovery levels of the client, as well as the restorative effect of their sleep.

- HRV Definition: The heart can provide a vast amount of information about our body because heart rate is constantly adjusting to meet the demands of our everyday life. For this reason, heart rate is never constant – the time difference between two consecutive heartbeats changes from beat to beat. This variation is called heart rate variability (HRV).
