Why monitor heart rate during exercise?

If you are a regular fitness friend, you should know that the heart rate is actually the best exercise “tutor”.

The exercise intensity can be better controlled according to the heart rate data, because the heart rate is linearly related to the oxygen uptake and the maximum oxygen uptake, and the percentage of the maximum heart rate is also linearly related to the percentage of the maximum oxygen uptake, so during running, use the heart rate Controlling exercise intensity is the easiest and easiest way to do it.

In the process of exercising, maintaining different heart rate intervals can obtain different exercise effects. If it is for weight loss exercise, then you need to keep the heart rate in the fat burning interval. At this time, the effect of exercise to lose weight will be more obvious.

Studies have shown that training heart rate for endurance exercise = resting heart rate + 60% (maximum heart rate – resting heart rate). In endurance training, maintaining such a heart rate for more than five minutes can achieve good results, so heart rate monitoring is in exercise. The meaning is obvious.

In addition, the resting heart rate, which is the basal heart rate, is also a relatively important data. If a person maintains a normal amount of exercise and is healthy, the basal heart rate will decrease steadily as the level of running and health improves.

However, if the amount of running exercise is too large or the intensity is too high, which exceeds the body’s ability to bear, or is affected by other conditions (such as insomnia, illness, strong mental stimulation), the basal heart rate will fluctuate to a certain extent.

The resting heart rate after exercise can be compared to evaluate the effect of exercise, and the recovery speed and degree of heart rate after exercise can also measure the user’s adaptation level to the running load.
