Maybe discussing things that help you, what makes you worse, patterns etc.

I don't have a fitness tracker but for a while now I have had a hobby of watching my heart rate. It started after a bout of palpitations caused by a medication.
But what I discovered is that I can change my heart rate depending on many things but most significantly eating.
Reducing my calories for a substantial period of time can drop my heart rate over 10 pts. And it doesn't really recover if I keep calories low. But eating a lot of calories for an extended period of time can increase it.
So sounds to me like it is measuring how low the heart rate goes vrs high and you have to know a ton of things can influence that.
