Module 6 Exercise/Reflection

Hey team,

There's not yet a Module 6 discussion thread, so I'm just posting this here.

This testing technology is just SO cool, and I had no idea you could get such a broad screening from this type of thing alone. I've mentioned that I don't have much experience testing with tech, and now I can't wait to get my hands on it!

As for for exercise, thanks David for not making the data set too overwhelming 😅

With breathing for cognition, I'm understanding that to be more reflective of breathing function at rest. So I'd probably approach it with functional breathing stuff (resting mechanics --> arousal management --> resting air hunger tolerance).

Recovery is the other area, and is probably linked to HRV (which is also linked to functional breathing...so not surprising in a sense that these two areas are both the ones with room for growth). For this person, I might use the SABRES method that I'd use for someone with burnout (Sleep, Arousal management, Breathing, Rest-Effort Ratio, Self-Esteem). I probably wouldn't take them through every stage of that, as they're probably not experiencing true burnout -- but definitely would look at their current habits around the first three to see where the opportunities are to give their nervous system a chance to recover.

Looking forward to deep diving about this one and hearing everyone else's interpretations of this data. Have a great weekend!
