Stress & recovery

Stress Isn’t Always Bad

An appropriate amount of stress improves your mental and physical performance in the short term. You don’t need to avoid stress altogether but you do need enough rest to establish a healthy stress and recovery balance.

Firstbeat Life™ App - Stress and Recovery Balance

Good quality sleep, fitness, and healthy nutrition support resilience and effective stress and recovery balance.

Find Balance in Your Life to Increase Your Energy Levels

Firstbeat Life shows how much of your day is spent experiencing stress and how successfully you offset those moments with recovery. It helps you to take small but actionable steps towards a better stress and recovery balance.

See if you have enough recovery in your day in relation to stress. The amount of stress varies but typically is around 40–65 % in a day.

See in detail how much stress and recovery you experience per day – both during the daytime and at night. You can find out if you recover enough and when you have too much stress.

You will get concrete times and insights of the most stressful periods and the periods with the best daytime recovery.

SLEEP

You Might Sleep, But Not Recover

Sleep’s main purpose is to recover and recharge physiologically and psychologically. But if your sympathetic nervous system is dominant during sleep, you won’t fully recover – no matter of the sleep duration.

Common causes of poor recovery during sleep include; alcohol, illness, pain, stress, poor physical fitness, and activating tasks close to bedtime.

Understand the Factors That Affect Your Sleep

Firstbeat Life allows you to see if your sleep was long enough and if you achieved enough recovery to leave you refreshed and recharged. You’ll discover how good sleep starts with what you do in the daytime and learn how to identify factors that weaken your sleep, well before you get into bed.

See if you got enough recovery overnight. Recovery during sleep is affected by sleep duration and quality and amount of recovery. Good quality sleep increases your resources so you will be resilient even during busy and more stressful times.

Check how much sleep you got and whether it was enough. The recommended sleep duration for adults is 7–9 hours. The need for sleep varies individually and at different times. As the load increases, the need for sleep increases.

Quality & amount of recovery during sleep

Sleep made up of 75% recovery is considered a good result. The quality of recovery means that the amount of heart rate variability during the sleep period increases with recovery and decreases as the body is loaded.

Exercise

Exercise Supports Your Health and Well-being

Exercise has been shown to have positive effects on the well-being of both body and mind. Even a small increase in activity and light daily exercise can boost your health. In addition, exercise refreshes the mind and supports sleep and recovery.

People who are physically active have a better balance between stress and recovery, and recover more quickly from stressful days.

Match Exercise to Your Daily Load and Fitness Level

Firstbeat Life evaluates your maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) based on your heart rate data and relates it to your fitness level during the day. This will help you move at the right intensity and reach your exercise and fitness goals.

See if you are physically active enough to achieve health benefits. All activity counts but the more vigorous your exercise, the more it affects your score.

The amount of exercise shows how much brisk and strenuous exercise as well as lighter everyday activity was included in your day. You will also see the energy consumption as well as the walking and running steps accumulated during the day.

The Training Effect shows you the impact of your physical activity, helps to adjust the intensity of your exercise and ensure that you recover adequately based on the total stress load of everyday life.

With a 30-minute fitness level walk, you get an accurate estimate of your maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max). Good physical condition supports health and helps you to recover better.
