Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:In interpreting our findings, we must acknowledge several limitations. First, due to difficulties in recruiting participants with reliable measures of vmHRV before the pandemic, the sample size is modest and should be extended in the future. Second, we obtained vmHRV measures at T1 with the use of a smartphone app, which could be suboptimal because smartphone apps acquire data using photoplethysmography and cannot discriminate between sinus and non-sinus beats. Nevertheless, we found a significant correlation between vmHRV measures at T1 and T0. Lastly, we do not have measures of emotional regulation strategies at T0, which would have allowed to obtain stronger evidence of the role of HRV as a predictor of coping styles during stressful situations. Notwithstanding these limitations, the present results support the implementation of HRV assessment to identify individuals who are at higher risk to suffer from stress-related symptoms (34) and encourage the use of early interventions such as transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation, HRV biofeedback and compassion focused interventions to increase vmHRV as a way to foster resilience during challenging pandemic periods and beyond (35, 36).
