Garmin Stress Calculator
Garmin’s stress calculation is a vital metric that helps you understand your body’s response to stress and recover effectively. It’s based on heart rate variability (HRV), which reflects your autonomic nervous system’s balance between sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) activity.
