Endurance Innovation is now on Patreon! Have a peek at our page and show us some love.

  • 2:30 Bruce’s introduction to HRV
  • 7:30 defining heart rate variability (HRV) and its response to exercise
  • 11:45 the non-linear HRV index DFA a1 (alpha 1)
  • 12:30 looking at fractals on random walks 
  • 17:00 a discussion of exercise intensity distribution and thresholds
  • 20:00 the challenges with measuring or estimating the aerobic threshold (aka LT1, VT1)
  • 26:00 A new detection method defining the aerobic threshold for endurance exercise and training prescription based on fractal correlation properties of heart rate variability
  • 28:30 3 ways to determine LT1 through HRV DFA a1 analysis
    • Progressive ramp test past estimated LT1 and using Kubios for analysis
    • Constant 5-8’ power / pace intervals and using Kubios for analysis
    • Constant 6-8’ power / pace intervals using HRV4T Data Logger
  • 36:30 using the Data Logger for discrete testing vs live ride analysis 
  • 42:45 equipment needs
    • Kubios free or premium
    • HRV4T Data Logger, using workout mode with 2’ intervals
    • HR Straps: Polar H-series
  • 50:15 shortcomings of HRV DFA a1 analysis
    • Missed beat artifact >5% in intense training or in populations with cardiac arrhythmias 
    • A low-quality signal analysis by software 
    • No test data for female athletes
    • So far only tested on cycling and running
