  • pNN50 - % of successive beat-to-beat intervals that differ by more than 50 ms
  • beat-to-beat interval - reading coming directly from the watch sensor
  • HRV Successive Differences - difference between current and previous beat-to-beat intervals
  • SDRR - Standard Deviation of beat-to-beat intervals
  • HRV RMSSD 30 Sec Window - RMSSD calculated for consecutive 30 second intervals
  • HR from heartbeat - beat-to-beat interval converted to HR
• HR (Heart Rate)
  • minimum
  • average
  • maximum
