	Making Your Heart Rate Count
		Your heart rate is actually a motivating friend when you learn to monitor it properly, for this allows you to objectively detect beneficial changes which you can't otherwise see.
		The rate your heart is pumping when you have been sitting quietly for a while or when you are sleeping is your resting heart rate.
		The recovery heart rate is taken for 15 seconds during the post cooldown, 5 to 6 minutes after the last aerobic activity.

	Tunturi fitness equipment
		The maximum heart rate cannot be affected by exercising, but as a result of exercising the workload that can be achieved at the maximum heart rate grows.
		Because determining the maximum heart rate through exercise requires a test where the person is led to complete exhaustion, it is common that the maximum heart rate is estimated.
		In sub-maximal loading (heart rate range on average 65-85 % of HRmax), the rise in heart rate is linear in proportion to the increase in workload.

	Heart Rate Monitors (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A heart rate monitor is a wireless, two-piece device consisting of a transmitter (worn around your chest) and a receiver (generally worn as a wrist watch).
		If your maximum heart rate is 180 beats per minute, your target heart rate range for interval work will range from 80 percent to 90 percent of your maximum heart rate, or 144 to 162 beats per minute.
		By maintaining your heart rate within your target heart rate range, you’ll be able to adapt to the increasing demands of your workout sessions, increase your speed and the efficiency of your cardiovascular system.

	Heart Rate
		The average heart rate for the "man off the street" would be in the region of 72-78 beats per minute.
		Resting heart rate is dependent on living habits and a number of factors such as quality of sleep, stress level, and eating habits.

	Heart Rate Training Zones (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Heart rate training zones are calculated by taking into consideration your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) and your Resting Heart Rate (RHR).
		During these heart rates the amount of fat being utilised as the main source of energy is greatly reduced and glycogen stored in the muscle is predominantly used.
		This happens at an individual heart rate for us all and is accompanied by a rapid rise in heart rate and a slowing of your running pace.

	Understanding Heart Rate, from MAPP
		The basics are that 1) heart rate serves as a measure of exercise intensity during steady state activities, and 2) If we estimate maximal heart rate as 220 minus age we can use this value to gauge the intensity of our training.
		Heart rate increases to compensate for the slightly decreased venous return and stroke volume, keeping cardiac output constant.
		Your heart rate is controlled in large part by the "Relative" intensity of work by the muscles.

	CYCLING PERFORMANCE TIPS - heart rate monitor
		They are based on the increase in heart rate (and cardiac output) as the oxygen consumption of the exercising muscle increases, and the concept of the benefits of variable stress in developing the exercising muscle (heart or skeletal).
		Your resting heart rate (RHR) is another indicator of your degree of training (and monitor for moving into an overtrained state).
		The two exceptions are hypothermia, where a slow heart rate is a reason for alarm, and the other is a heart rhythm disorder.

	Heart Rate Monitor Buying Guide
		Usually a low resting heart rate and the slow rise of the heart rate under strain indicates a person is in condition.
		Others work out for a very long time but do not get their heart rate high enough and are not gaining most of the benifets that they would have if they had reached their correct heart rate.
		The Reebok Strapless Heart Rate Monitor does not require a chest strap, instead requiring you touch your fingers to the sensor to gain a measurement.

	Howstuffworks "How Your Heart Works"
		Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.
		The average weight of a female human heart is 9 ounces and a male's heart is 10.5 ounces.
		So the right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs first to pick up oxygen before going to the left side of the heart where it is returned to the body full of oxygen.

	Heart Rate Calculations
		What exercise physiologists have found is that your heart rate increases in direct proportion to your speed up until you hit your lactate threshold, when more lactic acid is introduced into your muscles than there is oxygen to carry it away.
		The resting heart rate is determined by testing -- put your heart rate monitor on just after you wake up (and after you pee if you need to) and keep it on for about fifteen minutes.
		Your heart rate at its lowest during this period is your resting heart rate.

	Heart Rate Tidbits
		On an average, palpated heart rate underestimated ECG-derived heart rate by 20 bpm (70% MHR) and 27 bpm (85% MHR) on the treadmill.
		If heart rate is monitored immediately after the start of time (as in a group setting), the first beat is counted as "1".
		Maximum heart rate in a horizontal position is 10 to 15 beats lower than that in a vertical position since the heart does not have to work against gravity.

	Physical Activity for Everyone: Measuring Physical Activity Intensity: Target Heart Rate and Estimated Maximum Heart ...
		A second way of monitoring physical activity intensity is to determine whether a person's pulse or heart rate is within the target zone during physical activity.
		For moderate-intensity physical activity, a person's target heart rate should be 50 to 70% of his or her maximum heart rate.
		For vigorous-intensity physical activity, a person's target heart rate should be 70 to 85% of his or her maximum heart rate.

	Heart Rate Variability
		Heart rate variability (HRV) refers to the beat-to-beat alterations in heart rate.
		RSA is predominantly mediated by respiratory gating of parasymphathetic efferent activity to the heart: vagal efferent traffic to the sinus node occurs primarily in phase with expiration and is absent or attenuated during inspiration.
		Although resting heart rate does not change significantly with advancing age, there is a decline in HRV, which has been attributed to a decrease in efferent vagal tone and reduced beta-adrenergic responsiveness.

	Maximum Heart Rate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Athletes who use a heart rate monitor as a training aid need to identify their maximum heart rate in order to determine their appropriate training zones.
		Please remember that any algorithm used to determine your maximum heart rate (MHR) is only a best guess (based on research) and not a guarantee of your MHR value.
		It is possible to estimate your exercise intensity as a percentage of VO2 Max from your training heart rate.
