HRV-CV: WHOOP Research Study Reveals The Longevity Metric Everyone Needs To Be Tracking

We have stumbled upon a biomarker that's reflecting health. People who want to live longer and healthier lives should be tracking heart rate variability, coefficient of variation, HRVCV. The paper that was recently published that looks at this metric consisted of more than 21,000 WOOP members and roughly 2,000,000 person days of data. Looking at kind of this seven day perspective and looking at the day to day variation HRV was way more sensible. So from a programming standpoint, this became a really important way to think about adaptation. And I love the word adaptation or resilience being what exactly HRV CV is telling. It's a resilience score. After this paper, they'll be integrating HRVCV as a way to really risk stratify individuals by their health status. They're using these data to give insight into health span, giving us trajectories as to how quickly we're aging, our metabolic health, insulin insensitivity, and there's no better metric to pick that up than the HRVCV. There's a lot of compelling data here from the sports science literature to tell us that this is a metric worth chasing, but many people fall into this trap of This is becoming a a regular occurrence, doctor Gregor Szycki. Oh, it's a pleasure, doctor Kristen Holmes. So I feel like I, you know, I don't wanna, like, overinflate our research, but we've got another groundbreaking one to talk about today. Always fun when you have the data that we do. I know. I know. So we're gonna talk about heart rate variability coefficient of variation. We have published a really cool paper that looks at this metric. So we're gonna talk about that. Before we do, though, I'd love for you to talk about the team that we collaborated with on this paper because it's really a bunch of greatest of all time as it relates to all things heart rate variability and certainly HRBCV. Yeah. And when you look at heart rate variability being integrated into sports science, being used by both researchers and practitioners in the field who are working with some of the best and some of the most elite athletes in the field, This study really gave us the opportunity to collaborate with almost all of them. Mhmm. And so specifically due to many of them, your wonderful connections, doctor Dan Plews and Paul Larson, who are just legends in the field. And both have been on the on the podcast. And the good news is both have reached out to me in the past week on Instagram asking when we are gonna do more podcasts. So Oh, I love that. More opportunities to come. Perfect. Perfect. And I think another one worth calling out is certainly doctor Anna Galpin, you know, who has loads of experience implementing heart rate variability and the most demanding sports. I mean, UFC, I think, is one that comes to mind immediately. NFL players. NFL players. Yeah. And and doctor Marco Altini, who's one of the …
