I’m a bit confused about this. I did a contrast therapy session and, after adding the activity manually, the app shows that my maximum HR was 132 bpm.
I found this a little strange, as I didn’t feel that my heart rate had gone that high during the session. I then checked the HR view in the WHOOP app and looked specifically at the time when the activity summary says my HR reached 132 bpm, but I can’t see that value reflected in the HR data at all. There I see a value of 115 which is in pair to what my Apple watch also shows.
Could this be a software or data-processing issue, or is there another explanation for the discrepancy?
