Abstract
Heart rate variability (HRV) indexes how efficiently we mobilize and utilize limited self-regulatory resources to maintain homeostasis. HRV plays a vital role in regulatory capacity, executive functions, health, and performance. We address common misconceptions regarding cardiovascular health, HRV measurement, and HRV biofeedback training. This review highlights the importance of context and individual differences in interpreting HRV. We debunk common misconceptions to improve HRV biofeedback training for health and performance.
