Stress and Recovery Test (PPG)

PPG is a tool used to analyze the autonomic nervous system.

This test evaluates the balance between stress and recovery systems and measures HRV (heart rate variability), a key indicator of cardiovascular wellbeing.

Heart‑rate variability is an important marker of overall health. By assessing it, we can implement targeted prevention strategies and reduce the risk of future conditions.

The test evaluates:

  • HRV – heart rate variability, a measure of cardiac wellbeing
  • Balance between stress and recovery systems
  • Acute and chronic stress levels
  • Training‑load monitoring
  • Overreaching and overtraining conditions, both initial and chronic

Come funziona

How it works

PPG works by measuring changes in blood volume using an optical sensor applied to the skin. The sensor detects variations in skin color caused by blood flow, allowing us to calculate heart rate variability (HRV). HRV reflects the balance between stress and recovery systems. PPG also provides information on acute and chronic stress levels, training‑load monitoring and overtraining status, supplying actionable data for targeted prevention and better health management.
