Pulse measurement
Pulse measurement is the generally recommended method of determining yourheart rate (HR), which can be a rough indicator of intensity of exercise. Pulse rate is
expressed by the number of times your heart beats per minute (BPM). Although
pulse rate and heart rate are two  different concepts, the terms are used in the
same context in this User guide.
Stress and recovery levels Stress & Recovery is determined using Heart Rate Variability (HRV). The heart rate is
never constant and the time  difference between two consecutive heartbeats
changes from beat to beat. This variation is called Heart Rate Variability (HRV). If
the variation in-between heartbeats is high, this indicates a relaxed or recovering
state. If the variation is low, this indicates stress.
Activities such as reading a book may result in low stress levels, or can even be tracked as recovery. For example, busy moments at work or school may result in ahigh stress indication. It is important to note that a stress reaction does not have to
be negative; it may also indicate that you are experiencing something exciting or
fun. To balance periods of high stress, you need to recover by relaxing and sleeping well. A medium stress level may indicate  effortless productivity, which is
common during work and social activities.
Recovery mostly occurs while you sleep. There are factors that can  affect your
recovery measurements. A physically active lifestyle, healthy nutrition, lower
consumption of alcohol, and elimination of stress factors make it possible to
improve recovery during sleep in the long run. Avoiding highly strenuous physical
activities and slowing down mental activities well before going to bed also have a positive  effect on recovery.
Stress & Recovery values provided by the SmartBand 2 are not a reliable source for
analysing overall  fitness. Low intensity exercises, for example, can be misinterpreted
incorrectly as recovery.To get an measurement of your Stress & Recovery, wear your SmartBand 2 for at least one
night when you go to bed.
