That's an interesting topic. I already thought about it that it would be interesting but I never figured out how to get around the problem of electronic devices being banned during tournaments. I'd like to bring my sportwatch with me or the cardio belt but I think that could be interpreted as cheating...What do you do ? Just wearing a sensor without saying nothing ? Do you ask the arbiter ?
Thanks Romagna. I think it's best to go into your OTB game with zero wearables. This means no smart watch, no smart ring, no phone. In some federations all watches are banned!
That's not a problem for HRV measurement. You will get tired and stressed during your chess game, and that overall stress will show up when you measure HRV the following morning.
Hope that helps :)

Could you just test your HR because higher hr means lower variability?
Yet another pointless blog. Click bait. Write without having anything to say. The next blog will advertise private lectures?
I ́ve been learning about Jacobson ́s RMP, and how to use it to face trheats in the best possible shape.
Regarding HR, all is about anxiety or calm, sympathetic or parasimpathetic, and after a few hours dedicated to practice I have to say that a relaxed body lead to a focused mind.
Sorry about my english!! :)

Hello @wannabe2700 short answer is that the HR value (average frequency) and the HRV (standard deviation of the frequency) are two different things, so you will gain genuine different insight than just HR alone.

How often are they two different things? I feel like a sick person is more likely to have a higher a hr, thus making the point of testing hrv useless.

Marco Altini has a blog post that dives into the difference
He says:
"Thus, HRV is more sensitive to parasympathetic activity than HR alone. In the next parts of this guide, we will see how the higher sensitivity of HRV to different stressors is clearly captured in the data."
