New Year from the Firstbeat Sports Team! 🥳 The past year was full of amazing moments, and we’re so grateful to have shared them with you. Let’s take a look back and watch the Firstbeat Sports 2024 Recap!

Firstbeat Heart Rate Sensors with Straps vs. Vests – What’s the Difference? 🤔💡 When it comes to heart rate monitoring, accuracy matters. Our studies have shown that Firstbeat sensors with straps provide a 4% error rate versus a 31% measurement error rate when used in vests. In our blog post, we break down the key differences between Firstbeat heart rate sensors with straps vs vests—and why accuracy counts.

Hey wellness coach 👋We all know about the benefits of getting a good night’s sleep – but do your clients really know how much their daily choices and behaviors impact their quality of sleep? 😴 Factors such as exercise habits, eating rhythm, alcohol consumption, and stress all influence sleep quality. By testing with Firstbeat Life, you can begin to identify with your clients exactly which behaviors have a negative effect on the quality of their sleep.

Thank you, year 2024. Thank you to our clients and partners! We wish everyone a relaxing and restorative holiday season and all the best for 2025! ✨

Hey, sports coaches! 👋 Did you catch all our incredible webinars with special guest speakers this year? If not, don’t worry—you can binge-watch them over the winter break, completely free! It’s better than Netflix 😉 Here’s what’s waiting for you: • Optimizing Training & Recovery in the AFL: Expert Insights with Sydney Swans • Optimizing Team Performance: The Role of HRV in Elite Sports • Robust, Resilient, and Ready – Physical Preparation in High-Performance Football • Building Robust Athletes – Strategies for Long-Term Player Development

Bringing players back from injury? Here's how to do it right. 👇 Traditional rehabilitation exercises often don't mirror the specific demands of in-game activities, and it can also be challenging to meet the intensity and load goals when the athlete’s movement is very limited. Firstbeat’s Training Effect metric is a useful tool that helps coaches mirror training demands, ensuring that the session’s goals are achieved. You can use Training Effect to gradually build up the difficulty of your sessions, first introducing the Aerobic elements and then introducing Anaerobic until these once again mirror the demands of full training. This helps to ensure you don’t do too much too soon, whilst also providing a clear progressive plan that can be easily communicated with your athlete. Combine it with the Firstbeat Quick Recovery Test to monitor how your athlete adapts to these increasing demands and keep recovery on track!

In our next webinar, we will focus on women. Firstbeat’s Master Trainer Tiina Hoffman will be joined by by Health & Performance Coach Angela Foster and Kate Hodson, Certified Life Coach and Licensed Menopause Champion, to discuss menopause – from the kind of challenges that it causes to solutions and strategies. 💡Join us to learn, how personal coaching, supported by physiological data, can help us understand this period in a woman’s life better so that we can create meaningful, personalized strategies and focus on the things that women can influence, to allow them to go from just surviving to thriving during this often challenging period.
