AI Summary

A Fitbit may show a resting heart rate of 62 bpm alongside a heart‑rate‑variability (HRV) reading of 24 ms, while another user might see 80 ms. HRV measures the time differences between heartbeats and indicates how the body reacts to stress and recovery. Unlike resting heart rate, HRV has no benchmark to beat, so comparing scores between people offers little insight. Tracking one’s own HRV over time reveals more useful information about personal health trends.
