6:00-8:00 Learning about HRV: the background, theory, and value of training based on heart rate variability (HRV).

"HRV is very complex. You need a human (a physiologist) to help the coach and athlete to read and interpret the data and increase communication."

 

17:30-21:00 There are some drawbacks to making Heart Rate Variability mainstream. What's your elevator pitch? 

 

22:00-31:00  HRV training transcends sports. Does it actually enhance athletic performance? What if we did a day-to-day periodized training model, guided by HRV? This is innovative training. Tune in to hear what Trever recommends for large coaching environments.
