The 4th pillar of recovery: WHOOP adds respiratory rate to recovery algorithm

Kristen Holmes and Emily Capodilupo are back to detail a critical update to the WHOOP recovery algorithm. We have long calculated recovery by tracking heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and sleep performance. Now, we are excited to add respiratory rate as the fourth pillar of our recovery score. This powerful update reflects the latest research in health monitoring and provides members with an even deeper understanding of their bodies. Kristen and Emily discuss our COVID-19 research (2:17), the origins of the WHOOP recovery score (3:48), the science behind heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and sleep performance (7:57), adding respiratory rate to recovery (12:05), the factors that can alter respiratory rate (16:59), why an increased respiratory can predict a decrease in performance (21:39), how COVID-19 can change WHOOP data (25:32), tracking your baselines (28:17), and the importance of third-party validation (30:46).Support the showFollow WHOOP:Sign up for WHOOP Advanced LabsTrial WHOOP for Freewww.whoop.comInstagramTikTokYouTubeXFacebookLinkedInFollow Will Ahmed:InstagramXLinkedInFollow Kristen Holmes:InstagramLinkedInBuy Aligned by Dr. Kristen Holmes: Follow Emily Capodilupo:LinkedIn
