Report Highlights. Wearable devices have as much as 20% error when measuring heart rate, and caloric expenditure measurements can be off by as much as 100%. Most wearable fitness devices overestimate total sleep time and underestimate wakefulness after sleep onset.

Key TAKEAWAYS


• Focus on the 24-hour duty cycle: Approach each day as an opportunity to perform your best in a busy life. Prioritize protein intake (0.8 to 1 gram per pound body weight), consume fruits and vegetables for micronutrients and fiber, and aim to maximize movement throughout the day. These basic steps help set the stage for better recovery.

• Importance of sleep: Aim for at least 7 hours per night to support recovery, learning, and creativity. To get a full 8 hours of sleep, you need to be in bed for 8 hours and 30 minutes to account for time spent not sleeping. Prioritizing sleep can have a significant impact on overall well-being.

• Keep it simple: Rather than getting caught up in the complexities of diets, workouts, or recovery tools, focus on the basics. Eating protein, fruits, and vegetables, maximizing movement, and prioritizing sleep are the fundamentals of recovery. Consistently practicing these behaviors can lead to transformative changes in your life.
