6. REMEMBER TO RELAX - GET YOUR OWNRELAX

OwnRelax is the result of a relaxation session, which is an easy and quick way to test how relaxed your body is. The relaxation session is based on heart rate and heart rate variability measurement.

Heart rate and heart rate variability are sensitive parameters in measuring and evaluating overall relaxation of the body. The relaxation session should be performed at rest lying down or sitting comfortably. In order to compare the results of consecutive relaxation sessions, the measurements should be repeated in standardized (the same) conditions.

6.1 PERFORMING THE RELAXATION SESSION

It is recommended to conduct the relaxation session:

•In the morning in standardized conditions for general relaxation check

•Before exercise to check readiness for the planned workout

•After exercise for recovery

•Whenever you feel the need to check your relaxation

It takes 5 minutes to perform the relaxation session.

To get reliable relaxation values, take notice of the following:

•The session can take place anywhere - at home, in the office, in the gym or at a health club - as long as the test environment is peaceful. There should be no disturbing noises (for example, television, radio or telephone) or people talking to you. You should not read.

•You should be lying down or sitting, relaxed and calm.
