Supports Polar H10 for linear HRV at rest and incremental exercise; leaves open DFA a1 reliability at high intensity.
Does the Polar H10 sensor chest strap device accurately measure heart rate variability compared to an electrocardiogram in recreational men and women during rest and incremental exercise?
The Polar H10 chest strap provides accurate linear HRV measurements compared to ECG and is recommended for practitioners, though non-linear metrics like DFA a1 show wider bias during higher exercise intensities.
