A new study led by Shon Rowan--a researcher with the WVU School of Medicine--explored how a wearable device called WHOOP could be used to monitor pregnant women's resting heart rate and heart rate variability. The data that he and his team collected from the devices shed light on the fitness changes that can take place during and after pregnancy.
