Abstract
Specialist police units within Police Tactical Groups (PTG) are tasked with a wide scope of duties, many of which are potentially hazardous. Consequently, the selection of individuals for service must also be rigorous and include relevant occupationally derived challenges. Given the risks and intensity of selection, health and performance monitoring may benefit both personnel and commanders. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is one holistic measure obtainable through wearable technology monitoring. As such, the purpose of this case study was to profile HRV, specifically pRR15 (percentage of adjacent R-R intervals varying by at least 15ms) during a during PTG selection course as this HRV method is reported in epidemiological research.
