How to Use HRV Deload Trigger
The HRV Deload Trigger compares your recent morning HRV readings against your rolling baseline and flags when the deviation is large enough to signal accumulated fatigue. Enter your rolling HRV average and today's reading; the tool returns a deload recommendation and shows whether the signal reflects a sustained suppression trend or a single-night outlier.

Interpreting Results
The hero number is a binary or scored deload signal. Read it in the context of the secondary stats: the rolling baseline window and the deviation magnitude tell you whether the trigger is driven by one outlier night or a sustained suppression trend. A deload signal based on three consecutive low-HRV mornings carries far more weight than one based on a single night of poor sleep.
Input Steps
Field by field
- 1
Enter inputs
Enter your values using the sliders and steppers. Defaults represent a reasonable midpoint.
- 2
Read outputs
Read the hero number first. Secondary stats provide context and ranges.

Follow the methodology link for formulas, coefficients, and citations.
- 4
Adjust parameters
Adjust each input one at a time to see how the hero number responds.
Enter your 7-day average HRV baseline alongside today's reading — if they differ by more than 15%, the trigger fires for almost any model; if they are within 5%, no single-day dip should prompt a deload on its own.
