Kubios HRV analysis

I wanted to repost the link to Kubios, Finish University website posted by Canadian coach Derek Hansen at Charlie Francis' forum. User guide is also available here and I guess it provides some good info on HRV.

I plan getting a Suunto or Polar watch myself and play with it a little. Although I am wondering is there any need to do it. How much info do we actually need to track immediate training effects? Can we get into paralysis by analysis with too much of data? We need to simplify the things, and not brag with how much info we collect. Can 'less is more' be applied to monitoring of training? Aaron Schwenzfeier recently wrote about similar issue on his blog.

    HRV is a great tools for monitoring sport adaptation, but too much people use it without the right knowledge (improvvisation, trial and errors?), it's a waste of time.
    Kubios is an interesting software but a too powerful filter was been applied to VLF power, this can give you incorrect "answer" for specific physiological parameters.

    Thanks for the contribution Armando. What other software are you suggesting? Any free resource worth checking? Thanks

    You are thinking on this?

    Actually, I was proficient in MATLAB and I was playing for some time in LabView which is also very easy and powerful 'graphical' programming language

    Thanks for feedback Diego. I do not have an experience with HRV and any input on this is highly appreciated. Good luck with your work!

    Hello,

    Hi folks,

    I played with Labiew Biosignal, Kubios, Physionet and Matlab scripts..with different results for spectral analysis for same dataset. We are developing a opensource software for monitoring HRV and now I'm working on the issues of spectral analysis. The misconceptions are impressive.


    Any progress on this open source software ?

    Regards

    Bill Wood

    Hi folks,

    Strange that You hadnt heard about Finnish Firstbeat. It is developed by Jyväskylä University researchers under the guidance of prof Heikki Rusko. For example when You download Your heart rate files from Suunto, it is written there: analysed by Firstbeat. In the beginning they developed applications only but now created new product for elite sports Firstbeat Sports. It has all the same features like Suunto team but also night HRV measurements. In my opionion it is the NeXT generation product for team Sports. You can even taper with it in individual Sports.

    HRV is a great tool for monitoring sport adaptation, but too many people use it without appropriate knowledge. In my experience, Biocom offers an amazing HRV analysis software which is the most accurate I have ever used and is insanely esy to use. For more info visit:- www.biocomtech.com
