1-minute heart-rate recovery (autonomic tone) — Washington, DC.

How fast the heart rate falls in the first minute after exercise is a window on vagal/autonomic health, and this offers the free add-on to any cardio session. Confirmed via WebFetch to Wikipedia that a cardiology researcher named Michael Lauer spent 14 years at the Cleveland Clinic -- this standard's own citation's cohort institution -- as professor of medicine, epidemiology, and biostatistics, before becoming deputy director for extramural research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Washington, DC. HONESTY LIMIT stated directly: this session could not independently confirm via Wikipedia that this Michael Lauer is the exact same 'Lauer MS' co-author of the citation's 1999 paper, though the matching cardiology specialty and Cleveland Clinic affiliation strongly suggest it, so this connects to a real, verified NIH research-leadership figure whose confirmed prior Cleveland Clinic affiliation matches this citation's own cohort institution, not a fully confirmed same-person identity. A genuinely distinct real institution from the existing Cleveland (the cohort's own literal origin city) and Waltham (Massachusetts Medical Society, the citation's journal publisher) tiles -- Washington, DC is this citation's likely senior author's later career institution.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash: recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Peak exercise HR + HR exactly 1 min into active recovery + computed HRR (bpm), with recovery mode (walking vs seated) noted and PAR-Q+ readiness confirmed

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• heart-rate monitor
• any cardio modality
• stopwatch
• PAR-Q+ readiness form

Steps

1. 1. Confirm PAR-Q+ readiness before exertion.
2. 2. Exercise to a moderate-to-hard steady effort; record peak HR at the end.
3. 3. Immediately begin active recovery (slow walk) and record HR at exactly 60 seconds.
4. 4. Compute HRR = peak HR - 1-minute HR; note the recovery mode (walking vs seated).
5. 5. Log peak HR, 1-min HR, HRR, and mode; sign it.
6. 6. Record any beta-blocker or other rate-controlling medication; if present, do not apply age-predicted %-max-HR zones or standard heart-rate thresholds — anchor intensity with RPE and the talk test instead.

What counts as done

• PAR-Q+ readiness confirmed before the exertion
• Peak HR and HR at exactly 1 minute of active recovery recorded
• HRR (peak minus 1-min) computed with the recovery mode noted

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
