Heart rate recovery (HRR) is how quickly the heart rate drops after intense exercise. A drop of ≥ 12 bpm in the first minute after stopping is considered normal; < 12 bpm may indicate cardiovascular risk or poor fitness.

Stapsgewijze handleiding

1. 1Measure HR immediately after peak exercise
2. 2Measure again 1 minute later (or 2 minutes)
3. 3HRR = Peak HR − Recovery HR
4. 4Larger drop = better cardiovascular fitness and autonomic function
