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.
