QUICK START GUIDE
ABOUT OMEGAWAVE Thank you for purchasing the Omegawave system! The Omegawave assessment and guidance system is the only solution available today that quickly provides a holistic view of your body’s functional state. Empowered by physiological feedback, you can optimize both your training and recovery. Omegawave system allows you to:• Optimize training• Manage recovery• Prevent injuries and avoid overtraining• Track progress Our clinical grade ECG device takes a two minute recording of the electrical activity of your heart and sends it to our cloud server for physiological analysis. The results are then sent to your Omegawave mobile application. We help you understand your readiness to train, and the level of recovery from different elements of stress. We then provide you with guidelines for appropriate training for the day. After multiple measurements, you will see how your aerobic condi-tion is responding to your training. All this was previously only available to pro athletes. The measurement data gives you the confidence to train hard when you are ready, and rest when necessary to reach your goals faster.BEFORE YOU STARTPlease check the following:1.

Recommendations for maintaining the accuracy of measure-ment results:• Breathe normally, without holding your breath or breathing too deep.• Try to find a quiet place for measurements. Avoid disturbances such as talking or TV.• Lay down and relax. Rest your hands on your lap or at your sides and wait for approximately two minutes to let your heart rate stabilize before starting the measurement. • If you sneeze or cough during the measurement, please repeat the measurement process.• Avoid consuming caffeinated drinks at least 30 minutes before the measurement.• Avoid conducting the measurement too soon after waking up.
