Exploring the Relationship Between Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Training Load, and Endurance Performance

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The ability of smart phones, aided by wearable devices (e.g. smart watches), to collect a variety of data, including physical activity, heart rate, and other exercise metrics, may provide a unique opportunity to understand real-world variability. The primary objective of this study is to test user engagement, app functionality, and feasibility of the newly developed Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI) Labs App to conduct Real-World research studies. The secondary purpose of this study is to determine if Training Intensity (%Heart Rate maximum) in minutes during low heart rate variability (HRV) periods (below HRV baseline consecutive days) will have a negative relationship with post-study 5K (5 kilometer) running times as measured by their activity tracker, which could lead to personalized training recommendations using HRV. This study is conducted remotely, there are no in-person visits.
