Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

Mathematical and physiological reference for Heart Rate Variability, the millisecond-level variation in beat-to-beat intervals, used as a daily autonomic-nervous-system signal of recovery state in endurance training. Documents the RMSSD time-domain metric, measurement protocols, baseline-deviation interpretation, and the multi-source monitoring framework in which HRV is one signal among several.
