Why your readiness score dropped and what to do about it
By the OSAWALLA editorial team · 2026-09-05 · 5 min read
A readiness score is a summary of several inputs: resting heart rate, heart-rate variability, body temperature deviation, respiratory rate, and last night's sleep.
When the score drops, open the contributors before you react. A drop driven by resting heart rate and temperature together usually means you are getting ill — rest. A drop driven by HRV alone after a hard session is ordinary recovery, not a warning.
The failure mode is treating the number as a verdict. It is an input to a decision you still make yourself.
