    Where do my HRV, sleep and resting heart rate come from?

    LeCoach doesn't measure anything itself — your wearable does. The chain is: your device → Intervals.icu → LeCoach. Setup guide: Syncing wellness data from your wearable.

    HRV

    Most watches measure HRV overnight (Garmin, Whoop, Oura, Polar and others), which lands in Intervals.icu daily. Different devices report different HRV flavors — rMSSD is the common one, some report SDNN, and HRV4Training users get their own value. LeCoach picks the right one automatically — you don't need to configure anything.

    Measurement tips: consistency beats gadgetry. Same device, every night (or the same morning protocol if you measure manually with a chest strap and an app like HRV4Training). Don't compare absolute values across devices — LeCoach compares you to your own baseline, so consistency is what matters.

    Resting heart rate

    Taken from your device's overnight/daily value via Intervals.icu. Devices differ (lowest overnight value vs sleeping average) — again, the baseline logic makes your trend comparable regardless of the method, as long as the device stays the same.

    Sleep

    Sleep duration, sleep score and sleep quality come from whatever tracks your sleep into Intervals.icu. Sleep-stage guesses from wrist devices are estimates — LeCoach leans on duration most (it's the most reliable signal) and uses the score as a secondary input.
