Heart Rate Monitors Your Essential Guide
Thursday, 13 August 2009
What is a heart-rate monitor?
Monitoring your heart rate is easy: If you're living
you've got one. A heart rate monitor allows you to effectively train at your target heart rate for optimal results during competition. First you’ve got to understand how monitors work. Most look like wristwatches and combine timekeeping functions with heart monitoring. For constant heart rate readout
purchase one with a chest strap transmitter that sends heart data to the wrist unit. Devices without a chest strap provide heart rate data but only when you are touching the unit with your hand. If you decide on buying one
lower you can find a few examples of what’s available
plus some characteristics.
One of the leading manufacturers is Polar (www.polar.fi)
which offers
amongst many other
these products:
Polar FS1
Heart rate monitor target zone with audible high/low heart rate monitor alarm. It displays heart rate and exercise duration during exercise. Has the option to recall total exercise duration and average heart rate after exercise. It’s clock has selectable 12/24 hour display. It includes T31 chest heart rate monitor transmitter and elastic strap. It is available in dark blue or yellow colors. This is just the thing for beginners and basic exercises.
Polar AXN 700
This heart rate monitors offer a complete set of features for hiking
climbing
mountaineering
skiing or other outdoor activities. It has a titanium case and the following additional features: resting heart rate test
slope counter
3
sets of heart rate limits and bearing setting. Amongst the usual specs of an heart rate monitor
you can also find:
HeartTouch
button-free operation of wrist unit - lap information can be momentarily displayed by touching the Polar wrist unit to the chest transmitter belt.
Polar OwnCodeฎ prevents cross-talk from other heart rate monitors. As more and more people use heart rate monitors today
preventing cross talk from other devices in-group situations at the gym or when jogging with a friend becomes essential. The unique coded technology blocks unwanted signals from other heart rate monitors
ensuring disturbance-free transmission of your heart rate data.
Another manufacturer is Reebok (www.reebok.com)
where I found a few designs of heart rate monitor
presented below:
Reebok Personal Trainer Heart Monitor – It measures your heart rate to ECG accuracy. Displays time of day
calendar
and has a daily alarm function. Scan Sequence – Just press a button
unit will display average heart rate
highest & lowest heart rate and total exercise time. Contour Lite Transmitter included.
Reebok Precision Trainer Monitor
It has a heart rate zone high / low limit in 1 beat steps for exact heart zone
an out of zone alarm audible warning when out of zone. It displays heart rate and percentage of maximum heart rate. You don't have to calculate what the percentages should be
since it does that for you. For example: 99 Hour stopwatch with 50 lap memory plus an accumulated time in target zone. The triple display is it’s main feature
which makes it special
an can be swapped trough: Time of Day
Heart rate and percentage of maximum heart rate or
Stop Watch
Heart rate and percentage of maximum heart rate or
Time in Zone
Heart rate and percentage of maximum heart rate.
