Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a crucial tool for evaluating athlete recovery outside of training and matches. Unlike subjective measures, HRV provides an objective insight into recovery and stress levels by assessing the autonomic nervous system's balance. Regular HRV monitoring helps optimize training loads and improves overall performance by offering a precise measure of recovery and readiness.
