What's up, folks? Welcome to the Whoop Podcast. I'm your host, Will Amit, founder and CEO of WOOP,

and we build wearable technology to improve you. That's right. We measure strain and recovery and

sleep. More recently, we've highlighted respiratory rate and all the research we are doing around COVID-19.

You can check that out on previous episodes.

We also just announced our partnership with the NFLPA to help NFL players go back to work safely.

We're very proud of our relationship with the NFL and its players. And we wish them enormous health

and safety as they get back to play. We have a great podcast today, a science-e podcast today.

Kristen Holmes and Emily Capitaluppa, your two favorite podcasters, are back to detail

and update to the whoop recovery algorithm.

Now let's be clear, we don't make changes to the whoop recovery algorithm practically ever,

and we think that we have a responsibility when we do to be very public about them.

In the past six months, all the research that we've done

on respiratory rate and COVID-19 has shown us that respiratory rate is a deeply important metric

and a metric that should in fact be included in the Woop Recovery algorithm. So Kristen and

Emily discussed that.

They talk about our findings with respiratory rate to date,

how we calculate recovery and why respiratory rate will help give you an even more accurate score,

why this mostly affects outlier data points rather than all recovery scores.

That's an interesting nuance. And they also get

into tips and tricks for getting better recoveries. A reminder as well, you can get 15% off

Hello, everybody, Kristen Holmes, VP of Performance here at Woop, and I am joined by Emily Capital
