With this athlete\u2019s protocol, the strength coach added a daytime nap, just a 30-minute nap during the day. This bumped up his recovery by almost two hours each night,\u201d says Benjamin Jensen from Firstbeat Sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jensen has seen many success stories like this over his eight years with Firstbeat Sports, the global leader in athlete monitoring technology. As Director of North American Sales, Jensen knows first-hand how Firstbeat\u2019s heart rate monitoring and heart rate variability (HRV) tracking lead to significant improvement and optimization for athletes.<\/p><div class=\"pscsite-billboard-ad-in-content\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"pscsite-607884999\"><div data-cfpa=\"12108\" data-cfpw=\"12108\" id=\"pscsite-394866666\"><a data-bid=\"1\" data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/supplier-partner-connect\/12108\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"notrack\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Speedster950x250Final5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Speedster950x250Final5.gif?fit=950%2C250&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"  width=\"950\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">;new advadsCfpAd( 12108 );<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt Firstbeat, we provide tools for coaches to improve performance and to keep players on the field, and that\u2019s what it\u2019s all really about,\u201d says Jensen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To truly maximize an individual athlete\u2019s training, performance and recovery, each athlete requires an individualized plan. The Quick Recovery Test from Firstbeat Sports is a 3-minute test that, when administered on a regular basis, identifies trends with each athlete and allows the coach to respond, creating opportunities to address the unique requirements of each athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have teams that run the Quick Recovery Test everyday, and they run it in a standardized environment. They run it at the same time of day and in the same place,\u201d says Jensen. \u201cSo, we\u2019re in the locker room, everybody\u2019s sitting up, we\u2019re quiet, we\u2019re off the phones. Here we go, three minutes. And from that, we\u2019re going to get a quick snapshot of each athlete, individually. We\u2019re going to pull some HRV data and some resting heart rate data. We\u2019re going to capture respiration rate. From this data, we\u2019ll generate a score indexed down to a single number for each athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCoaches will see a team average, but they\u2019ll also obtain a unique score for each athlete, today. And that\u2019s important. Then, they\u2019ll see each athlete\u2019s average score for the last seven days for comparison and answer critical questions like, \u2018What has my team and what have my athletes been through this past week?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comparing results from the past 7 days can help spot important team and player trends any strength coach must address, or identify anomalies with individuals to inform the overall narrative of why they\u2019re feeling and performing the way they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cConsistency is obviously huge, not only with administering the Quick Recovery Test, but trying to make sure that players are eating and sleeping on as consistent a basis as possible. But midterms are midterms, finals are finals,\u201d says Jensen. \u201cSo even if you have optimal recovery occurring with an athlete, he or she will still experience external stresses coaches can help them identify and manage, whether it\u2019s academics-related or there\u2019s some trouble at home, or with a boyfriend or a girlfriend. It really helps a coach do his or her job not only in the weight room but beyond the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome people kind of look at it as a bank, with recovery accounts and sleep accounts for the week. Maybe on Monday, you\u2019re short a little sleep because you only slept for six hours. Well, now we know and can adjust. It\u2019s OK, because on Tuesday, the athlete can try to bump it up to seven or eight hours. You might even ask them to add a daily nap, giving the body a chance to regain those losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any worthwhile software\/hardware approach to fine-tuning teams and individuals, Firstbeat Sports\u2019 Quick Recovery Test continually learns about each athlete and adapts, helping coaches evolve their programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBased on an athlete\u2019s history, the Firstbeat Sports solution will produce ever more accurate results by learning each athlete\u2019s spectrum of indexed scores, which feeds back upon itself, creating even more precise scores going forward instead of starting from scratch every day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The individualization opportunities that arise are off-the-charts valuable \u2014 and even more importantly \u2014 actionable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpbdp-single-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t<div id=\"wpbdp-listing-3196\" class=\"wpbdp-listing-3196 wpbdp-listing single wpbdp-single
