Key result
Averaging resting heart rate and heart rate variability over 1 week strongly correlated with changes in 10-km running performance (r=-0.76), proving superior to single-day assessments.

Weekly averaging of resting HR and HRV may better track runner adaptations; leaves open prospective validation before guiding training.
Observational (n=10)
Does averaging resting heart rate and heart rate variability over a 1-week period improve correlation with training adaptation compared to single-day assessment in runners?
Effect estimate: r = -0.76 (95% CI -0.92 to -0.36)
Averaging resting heart rate and heart rate variability over a 1-week period is superior to single-day assessment for evaluating positive adaptation to training in runners.
Plews et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Runners (n=10). 1-week average of resting heart rate and heart rate variability vs. Single isolated day assessment was evaluated on Correlation between changes in 10-km-running performance and Ln rMSSD (r = -0.76, 95% CI -0.92 to -0.36). Averaging resting heart rate and heart rate variability over 1 week strongly correlated with changes in 10-km running performance (r=-0.76), proving superior to single-day assessments.
