“…In 2018 Vega-Martínez et al published a review article on the heart rate measurements mentions the use of gyrocardiography as a method for monitoring the heart rate which may be used to perform HRV analysis [ 62 ]. Standalone heart beat detection methods published in 2018 include the methods proposed by Lee et al [ 37 , 38 ], Hernandez and Cretu [ 57 ] and Kaisti et al [ 58 ] with complementary data set “Mechanocardiograms with ECG Reference” published on IEEE DataPort [ 63 ].…”

Gyrocardiography (GCG) is a non-invasive technique of analyzing cardiac vibrations by a MEMS (microelectromechanical system) gyroscope placed on a chest wall. Although its history is short in comparison with seismocardiography (SCG) and electrocardiography (ECG), GCG becomes a technique which may provide additional insight into the mechanical aspects of the cardiac cycle. In this review, we describe the summary of the history, definition, measurements, waveform description and applications of gyrocardiography. The review was conducted on about 55 works analyzed between November 2016 and September 2020. The aim of this literature review was to summarize the current state of knowledge in gyrocardiography, especially the definition, waveform description, the physiological and physical sources of the signal and its applications. Based on the analyzed works, we present the definition of GCG as a technique for registration and analysis of rotational component of local cardiac vibrations, waveform annotation, several applications of the gyrocardiography, including, heart rate estimation, heart rate variability analysis, hemodynamics analysis, and classification of various cardiac diseases.

“…A promising inexpensive, time-efficient, and non-invasive method for monitoring athlete load is heart rate variability (HRV) [ 1 , 2 ]. HRV is defined as the fluctuation of time intervals between adjacent heartbeats (R-R intervals or inter-beat intervals (IBIs)) [ 1 , 3 , 4 ]. HRV is typically used as a surrogate measure of the autonomic balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems [ 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ].…”

HRV is typically used as a surrogate measure of the autonomic balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems [ 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. A normal heart has fluctuations in IBIs both at its baseline and in response to stimuli [ 4 , 5 ].…”

“…A more in-depth review of the physiological mechanisms of HRV can be found in the work of Shaffer and colleagues [ 5 ]. While HRV has been measured and used in research applications as early as the 1970s, HRV has become an increasingly measured variable by wearable technology for use in fitness and sport applications [ 1 , 3 , 4 ].…”

“…It is becoming increasingly important for strength and conditioning coaches, sports scientists, and sports medicine experts to be knowledgeable about how HRV should and should not be applied in their respective scopes of practice. While other reviews have evaluated the application of HRV in sports physiology [ 1 , 3 , 9 ], new data in the last 5–10 years prompt further comprehensive discussion. Lundstrom and colleagues discussed HRV’s application in endurance athletes and provided some preliminary recommendations for the literature [ 2 ].…”

Heart rate variability (HRV) is defined as the fluctuation of time intervals between adjacent heartbeats and is commonly used as a surrogate measure of autonomic function. HRV has become an increasingly measured variable by wearable technology for use in fitness and sport applications. However, with its increased use, a gap has arisen between the research and the application of this technology in strength and conditioning. The goal of this narrative literature review is to discuss current evidence and propose preliminary guidelines regarding the application of HRV in strength and conditioning. A literature review was conducted searching for HRV and strength and conditioning, aiming to focus on studies with time-domain measurements. Studies suggest that HRV is a helpful metric to assess training status, adaptability, and recovery after a training program. Although reduced HRV may be a sign of overreaching and/or overtraining syndrome, it may not be a sensitive marker in aerobic-trained athletes and therefore has different utilities for different athletic populations. There is likely utility to HRV-guided programming compared to predefined programming in several types of training. Evidence-based preliminary guidelines for the application of HRV in strength and conditioning are discussed. This is an evolving area of research, and more data are needed to evaluate the best practices for applying HRV in strength and conditioning.
