The truth is you want to have just the right amount.
Measuring stress
Stress Monitor can provide a real-time stress score from 0 to 3 by measuring. Compare heart rate and HRV to baselineWHOOP also considers your movements to limit the impact exercise has on your stress score, so you can understand if you’re really stressed or just moving.
To develop an algorithm to measure stress, WHOOP recruited participants to WHOOP Labs, a full-time research facility.Examine activities recorded by WHOOP members. The effects of stressful and relaxing activities on heart rate and heart rate variability were examined, as were the effects of light physical activity, cold exposure, respiration, and cognitive tasks on heart rate and heart rate variability. I was. These deviations were compared with blood pressure deviations. This study showed that changes in heart rate correlated with changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, classic markers of stress.
In addition to measuring your stress in real-time, Stress Monitor also has a 12-hour stress graph that lets you see how your stress rises and falls throughout the day, helping you spot patterns in your stress levels.
To access the stress monitor, go to the app home screen, scroll down and tap the stress monitor graph.
stress management
The Stress Monitor offers science-backed breathing sessions developed in collaboration with Dr. Andrew Huberman to enhance relaxation or alertness. Why Breathwork? This is a proven and effective tool to help manage stress. Supports overall health.and In a randomized controlled trial conducted by Dr. Andrew Huberman, participants wore a WHOOP to monitor biometrics and They were asked to perform various breathing exercises for 5 minutes a day for a month. The research periodic sighs It was significantly superior to mindful meditation in improving mood and reducing respiratory rate.
Stress monitors use periodic sighs (physiological sighs) Periodic hyperventilation in two different customizable sessions.
of Increase relaxation sessions Use periodic sighing (physiological sighing) exercises to help regulate and relax stressful physical or emotional reactions.
of Increase Awakening Sessions It utilizes periodic hyperventilation exercises to increase responsiveness to external stimuli and help maintain vitality.
Once a breathwork session is completed, it will be automatically saved as a breathwork activity. With your saved activities, you can see insights like how your stress score changed by session, how your inhale, exhale, and hold your breath changed.
Using a stress monitor
The stress monitor tracks resting heart rate and HRV trends to measure their effectiveness. Over time, this feature aims to help members understand how their bodies and minds are connected and identify which situations trigger physiological responses. , which continues to evolve based on member feedback and support as they unleash their stress.
