The aims of this study were 1) to assess day-to-day stability of resting heart rate variability (HRV) in healthy adults; 2) to determine whether the reliability of these measures is influenced by self-reported habitual physical activity level; and 3) determine whether the magnitude of HRV is related to self-reported habitual physical activity level.
