What is heart rate recovery?

Heart rate recovery (HRR) is the rate at which your heart rate decreases after exercise. A faster recovery indicates better cardiovascular fitness.

How do I calculate my heart rate recovery?

Measure your heart rate immediately after exercise, then again after one and two minutes. The difference in beats per minute (BPM) determines your recovery rate.

Why is heart rate recovery important?

A faster heart rate recovery suggests a stronger, more efficient heart. Slower recovery times may indicate poor cardiovascular health or overtraining.

How can I improve my heart rate recovery?

Regular aerobic exercise, strength training, proper hydration, and stress management can all help improve your heart rate recovery over time.
