i have never posted anything on any forum before so I hope I am doing it right.
I have been using a wrist fitness tracker that monitors my heart rate, heart rate variability and sleep. The bit that interests me most is the “body battery” and “stress” measures. I was pretty sceptical to start with but I have found that I cope much better with stressful situations when my “body battery” is high. When it is low I am best to have some quiet time. It has also been useful to look back and see when I have been most stressed.
I am on the autistic spectrum myself and work with adults with intellectual disability and autism. I am thinking that this has potential to be be really useful.
Has anyone else found a fitness tracker useful for monitoring how stressed or how run down they are?
My son who is autistic his physical Trainer advised him to complete 14000 steps daily so Fitness tracker is very helpful in that case.
