“When we started paying attention to our student athletes’ trends and knowing when we can push them and when we’ve got to give them a break, we limited our soft tissue injuries.”

Color key: Green - Good recovery within 7 days. Yellow - Good recovery within 14 days. Red: Good recovery +14 days ago.

## Easy-to-interpret Scores

The four QRT score categories describe recovery quality, indicate fatigue accumulation, and make results easy to communicate.

Color-coded warning signals also track the number of days between 'Good Recovery' scores.

Four Categories:

- 0-30 Poor
- 30-70 Moderate
- 70-90 Good
- 90-100 Excellent

## How Does it Work?

The Firstbeat QRT score is derived from analysis of heart rate and heart rate variability which allows indirect assessment of the parasympathetic nervous system through vagal activity.

Variation in individual physiology and dynamic recovery patterns are accounted for by adaptively scaling QRT scores based on average and standard deviation of each athlete’s personal measurement history.
