Real-Time Heart Rate Monitoring

The importance of real-time monitoring of heart rate

Real-time heart rate monitoring is a crucial aspect for those who practice sports, both at an amateur and professional level. Heart rate is an accurate indicator of how hard the heart is working during exercise and allows for the evaluation of workout intensity. Monitoring heart rate in real-time offers numerous advantages, including the ability to adjust workout intensity, prevent overtraining, and improve overall performance.

How does heart rate monitoring work?

Heart rate monitoring devices detect heartbeats through sensors that can be placed on different parts of the body such as the wrist or chest. These sensors detect the change in blood volume every time the heart beats and translate it into an electronic signal. This signal is then analyzed by a computer or an app that calculates the heart rate in beats per minute.

The role of heart rate monitoring in training.

Heart rate monitoring is a fundamental tool to optimize training. It allows you to train in target heart rate zones that are determined based on individual fitness goals. For example, to improve cardiovascular endurance, you should work in the heart rate zone corresponding to 70-80% of your maximum heart rate. Additionally, heart rate monitoring can help prevent overtraining, which can lead to injuries and a decrease in performance.
