Nobody is doubting the science Janus. What they're calling bullshit on is your use of the theory as justification for letting go of Polec and Wingard, with no data whatsoever to back that argument up. You have no idea what their HRV levels are, whether the club even measures them, or if the club even gives a shit about them.Here's some more reports to bake your noodle with:
HRV is a marker of self-regulatory strength and activity:
"Experimental research reliably demonstrates that self-regulatory deficits are a consequence of prior self-regulatory effort. However, in naturalistic settings, although people know that they are sometimes vulnerable to saying, eating, or doing the wrong thing, they cannot accurately gauge their capacity to self-regulate at any given time. Because self-regulation and autonomic regulation colocalize in the brain, an autonomic measure, heart rate variability (HRV), could provide an index of self-regulatory strength and activity. During an experimental manipulation of self-regulation (eating carrots or cookies), HRV was elevated during high self-regulatory effort (eat carrots, resist cookies) compared with low self-regulatory effort (eat cookies, resist carrots). The experimental manipulation and higher HRV at baseline independently predicted persistence at a subsequent anagram task. HRV appears to index self-regulatory strength and effort, making it possible to study these phenomena in the field as well as the lab."

Laziness on the training track results in low HRV which results in low self-regulatory effort in games. Which basically means people with low HRV will want to do the easy things first and neglect the hard stuff...like tackling, chasing back, gut running etc.
HRV influences pain threshold and pain intensity:
"Baseline correlations revealed that lower HF-HRV is related to greater inflexibility and more pain interference, but not pain intensity. Moreover, psychological inflexibility significantly mediated the relationship between HF-HRV and pain interference. Finally, regression models indicated that baseline psychological inflexibility is a significant predictor of HF-HRV at follow-up and, separately, that baseline HF-HRV significantly predicted pain intensity at follow-up."

HRV predicts negative mood symptoms:
"Our findings suggest that parasympathetic HRV parameters, i.e., measures related to rest and recovery, could be predictive of performance, while frequency-domain parameters might be more adequate for evaluating negative mood states. This last finding is consistent with reports that HRV is a predictor of negative mood symptoms in athletes."

Low pain threshold, negative mood, and an inability to perform high self-regulatory tasks (things that you have to do, not that you want to do). Sound like anyone that we used to know?
Quack quack, mother******s
FWIW, I'm ok with Polec and Wingard being gone, but as Papa G mentioned before, it's an old fashioned attitude thing. I'd be interested to know how it came to this though, given they previously appeared to love being here.
