" Formula 1 is developing rapidly and the technology is getting more and more specific. Therefore, I am very happy to have a tool like the Autonom Health HRV analysis to measure the performance optimisation of my driver’s increasing performance."

Seppi Neuhauser

top athlete, National Champion and World Championship participant in triathlon, winner of the Gore-Tex Transalpine Run, coach of numerous world-class athletes, certified HRV Professional

" Nowadays, the individual or personal part goes short in sports. It is important to me to view my athletes holistically and to consider not just the physical but also the mental stimuli that influence the athlete. In my opinion, the measurement’s greatest benefit lies in avoiding over-training because the measurement clearly shows where the sport develops positive stimuli and when it starts being unhealthy. Den größten Nutzen hat die Messung meies Erachtens in der Vermeidung von Übertraining. Weil die Analyse klar aufzeigt, wo der Sport positive Reize entwickelt und ab wann es ungesund wird."

" The measurement helps me to understand in detail how I cope with certain situations. I can exactly observe how I react to efforts during training and, more importantly, how I recover afterwards. Is the recovery good or bad, immediate or delayed? I can control and improve my sleep rhythm. Based on the measurements, I can see at first glance how my performance is in general but at the same time, I can go into many interesting and important details. I can analyse and improve my daily routine so that I can achieve optimal performance at the right moment. I wore the measurement device during the European Championship, one month before Olympia in Sotschi. Because of the analysis of the measurement, I was able to refine my training and my preparation for the competition in view of my goal. I learned to breathe better and to ration my energy levels. Ultimately, it is great fun to constantly relearn your own body."

" With Autonom Health, our players and we can now see what was hidden before. Measurements that capture the mental aspects as well are very valuable, especially in golf."

" Based on the spectrogram, I can ascertain myself as to how I’m doing performance-wise. Thereby, I can optimise my individual health factors, my training and my performance based on objective measurements."

Worldwide, we offer the first sport analysis software which measures using HRV and includes all areas of life – training, daily life, job, sleep, diet – in its analysis.
It is software whose statement is not based on the figures of a few chosen top athletes but rather on the individual constitution and regulation of a single athlete.
Developed by doctors and coaches (all former top athletes) based on more than 25,000 HRV measurements.
Measure independently of location, mobile and with different devices, upload your data online – view results from coaches and athletes always and anywhere.

Heart Rate Variability AND Heart Rate – a new marker for ECONOMY & STRESS

HRVsport is the first software that depicts the heart rate that was determined during the course of the training and the HRV figures in a curve diagram. Therefore, stress and economy during exercise can be evaluated exactly within the scheduled progress of the training. Ascertaining the most economic cadence in cycling and stride frequency in running becomes much easier and more exact than previous field tests have shown.

Winners work with Heart Rate Variability

IWe know that classical training management uses the system of periodization in the sense of meso, macro, micro cycles and the intrasystem change between stimuli and stimulus processing (2+1, 3+1, … systems). The measure of physical strain and fatigue in combination with the ability/behaviour to regenerate (based on fitness level, constitution as well as personal experience with the athlete) is still a matter of “gut feeling”.

A respective state of overload vs. overreach can be determined, defined or avoided unambiguously. The athlete is being pushed to his actual maximum physical and mental limits which bring him to a higher base level at the respective peaks – through optimised regeneration. This exact opportunity opens new perspectives to coaches and athletes.

"My Autonom Sports" - HRV sports software with a difference

Die den Ergebnissen zu Grunde liegenden Algorithmen beruhen nicht wie üblich auf den Werten einiger weniger Spitzensportler, sondern basieren auf den Leistungen des jeweiligen Athleten selbst. Alle wechselnden Konstellationen im Spannungsfeld zwischen individueller Konstitution und variabler Entwicklung werden laufend berücksichtigt. Die per Mausklick abrufbaren numerischen und grafischen HRV-Leistungsdaten geben Spitzen- und Hobbysportlern Sicherheit in ihrer Trainings- und Lebensplanung.

01

Training-Readiness
The core value of this specialised software – the so-called “training readiness” – is being determined by all influencing daily stimuli, the performance in training and the ability to regenerate in sleep.
Compared to the values determined by blood, saliva and urine, HRV yields information about stresses and illnesses long before they can be measured in bodily fluids. Therefore, one can react to possible confounding factors straight away.

02

STEP-Value
This special parameter puts the most important dimensions for sports – stress and recovery – in relation. It has such a high significance because all stressors of the 24h measurement are confronted with the regeneration in sleep. Combined with the neurophysiological strain (NPB), much more significant information emerge in regards to the analysis of the overall stress than would be possible by just observing the heart rate at rest.

03

NeuroPhysiological Strain (NPB)
Training uses the organism’s ability to adapt to increasing stress. In this context, neurophysiological strain (NPB) measures the effect of endurance training’s physical and mental stimuli on the autonomic nervous system.
This makes HRVsport a software program that analyses not just everyday life but also every individual training.

04

Continuous Stress Test (DLT)
The Continuous Stress Test (DLT) investigates when the body switches from mostly aerobic (oxygen-rich) to anaerobic (oxygen-poor) energy production. Knowing this individual threshold allows for training stimuli to be adapted and the metabolism to be shaped more economically.
The test is being done during a long-term HRV measurement and is saved as an activity. It lasts approx. 30 minutes during which time one should run or cycle for as long as possible. The results can be transferred to and manually maintained on the athlete’s profile (account).
Tip: The results of the test can be validated using the NPB value of a subsequent training.

Testimonial of Alain Sutter

“The most basic benefit of Autonom Health’s HRV analysis can be seen in all my coaching when clients actually realise that they can rely on their intuition 100%. The Lebensfeuer spectrogram and the HRV data prove that at critical moments, top athletes knew instinctively what would have been the right decision for them even if at the end they acted against their gut feeling, often to their own detriment. Athletes are exposed not just to the expectations of their coaches and sponsors but mostly to their own ambition to overcome physical and mental limits far beyond to what feels manageable. As a former top footballer I know just how that feels. Often, you are afraid to take action for your own good. Instead, you overload your system until a defect puts an end to it. This is not just questionable health-wise for the athlete but also costs millions every year for clubs and sponsors. But once you have an objective procedure, like HRVsport, you and your team receive the necessary credentials in the form of a scientifically comprehensible method which enables the training program to be adapted to the individual’s needs and to allow regeneration so that the required performance can be achieved for a long time on the highest level.”
