Omron Heart Rate
Monitor

Knowing
your heart rate is important because if you are working out
too hard, your activity can become counter productive and
strain muscles. To achieve an effective workout, no matter
what the aerobic activity, you must maintain your heart rate
at a proper level for a minimum of 20 minutes. The proper
level is generally 65%-85% of your maximum heart rate.

A heart
rate monitor is a device that allows a user to monitor their
heart rate while exercising. It usually consists of two
elements: a chest strap transmitter and a wrist receiver
(which usually doubles as a watch). Strapless heart rate
monitors are available as well, but lack some of the
functionality of the original design. Advanced models
additionally measure heart rate variability to assess a
user's fitness.
The heart rate monitor was invented by the Australian
physicist, Robert Treffene. He appeared on the television
show The New Inventors with his device, which was made with
swimmers in mind.
The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was
invented by Polar Electro Oy in 1977 as a training tool for
the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. The concept of
"intensity training" by heart rate swept the athletic world
in the eighties. By the 1990's individuals were looking to
heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs,
but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the
same concept of heart rate training is being used by
world-class athletes as well as everyday people.[1]
The chest strap has electrodes in contact with the skin to
monitor the electrical voltages in the heart (see
electrocardiography for more details). When a heart beat is
detected a radio signal is sent out which the receiver uses
to determine the current heart rate. More expensive monitors
send a unique coded signal from the chest strap, and this
prevents a user's wrist receiver from receiving signals from
other nearby transmitters. This is known as cross-talk.
There are a wide number of receiver designs, with all sorts
of advanced features. These include average heart rate over
exercise period, time in a specific heart rate zone,
calories burned, and detailed logging that can be downloaded
to a computer. |
