Measuring and  recording heart rate data is essential to the  HZE program. In fact,  without accurate data, developing a training plan  is not  possible. Students may  use  a number of different assessments to develop their training plans, each of which is valuable in and  of itself. When combined and compared with others, these assessments can…

In the past, a crucial piece of data was missing in cardiovascular training. Before the b of heart rate monitors and the data they provide, teachers were unable to determine accurately the  intensity of students’ exercise; this  left them with  only  two  components, frequency and time, from which to determine students’ total training  load. We…

Long before the tools to listen to and measure heart rate were available, medical professionals were paying  attention to the beat of the heart. In fact, the way the heart beats (fast  or slow, regular or irregular) is so important that it is one of the things doctors almost always check during medical exams. Basically,…

One of the first things you might realize is that the heart rate monitor provides a link between the body  and mind. No more guessing at exercise intensity. No more stopping in the middle of an aerobic session to search desperately for a pulse, hoping to get a reasonably close count before your heart rate…

Heart rate monitors were  in the  realm of science fiction  not  so very long ago. Researchers started checking heart rates around 1912 by using  water buckets as counterweights in the first  laboratory model. The  first  electronic heart rate monitoring tool,  the  electrocardiograph, was originally the size of a room. You would  certainly not want to…
