Why and how Heart rate monitors can prove useful?

Human body is like an engine that uses oxygen and food as fuel to generate energy. Oxygen is delivered in the body through the cardiovascular system to the muscles. These muscles use the oxygen to burn and utilize fat and carbohydrate for yielding energy. Human body has a very different aspect in terms of energy i.e. if any part of the body is specifically stressed on then that particular body part responds in a different manner as compared to others. While resting, body adapts and makes itself stronger. By “stressing” we refer to the exercise that leads to overloading of your aerobic system. Whenever you exercise the heart beats faster which leads to stressing of the muscles of the heart and while resting the stressed heart muscles become stronger. And stronger muscles have a tendency to utilize increased amount of oxygen and the mitochondria helps in boosting enzyme systems for oxidation of fuels.

These changes generally occur over long span of time with continued efforts. Slowly you adapt and at times, it becomes difficult to analyze what amount of exercise is correct. Many physiologists state that the best measure of aerobic workout is the rate of oxygen burned. And for determining this highly complex equipments are required. The amount of oxygen burned is the difference between oxygen inhaled and oxygen exhaled. The rate of oxygen consumption at the maximum level is generally referred to VO2 (max.). And on an average, when the rate of oxygen consumption is around 55% of VO2 (max.), it is the correct level of overloading the body for improvement. The equipments that help in such kind of measurement are very bulky and are not portable. So, how can you measure the correctness of your workout effort?

For this type of measurement of VO2 heart rate is more convenient way. Once you are able to determine your heart rate you can monitor your workouts well.

It is a very big myth that if you exercise at a fast pace more fat will burned.

On an average, when you exercise if your heart rate exceeds 85% the body will burn less fat, it will become anaerobic and will lead to production of lactic acids. Moreover, it can also lead to serious muscle injuries and burning sensations. So, to determine productive form of exercise level, heart monitors are very helpful.

Some features of usual Heart Rate Monitors are as follows:

1) Acts as a very strong motivational tool
2) It brings about actual form of objectivity in the training programs
3) It helps people to understand their training schedule well and also guides in avoiding any sort of anaerobic over training.
4) Helps in analysis of race efforts and planning of the regimes well
5) It also, helps in recognizing the over training instances. This can be judged if the heart rate is 10% higher than the normal beating.
