Need a HRM

[Pankaj C]

Hi all,

I am in an urgent need of a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) and did not find
it in Decathlon as it is out of stock.
Anybody has any idea where else can I get one in Bangalore?

Anybody interested in selling one?
Another question; How do you measure your max heart rate?

Cheers

Most equipment calculate your max heart rate using the equation: 220 - age. e.g. My age being 35, my Garmin automatically sets my max heart rate as 185. However, there is some literature on the Net which finds this calculation too simplistic and takes in a few more factors into consideration. But you can go with this thumb rule for most calculations.

Hey Pankaj

I am not sure where else you will find a heart monitor.

But for the max. heart rate whilst 220 minus age is the right answer.
One must never train at Max heart rate but progressively from 70% of
max to a maximum training beat of 85%. An absolute must is a rest
period once you have trained at 85% is necessary. Reserve you
theoritical max i.e., 200 minus age to a competition or something like
that.

That's curious, because I'm 30 and I've often hit 200 when training -- although 180 is a more typical figure.

Any idea what is supposed to happen when one hits the max heart rate? Do you get a heart attack, for instance? :-P Or is this just a suggestive limit?

I am not in medical field or sports medicine, but logically and based on my personal experience, I guess the heart rate is directly dependent on the lung capacity and also the flow of blood unobstructed. Even 180 could be fatal for people with high cholesterol / blocked arteries or non-athletes with lower lung capacity.

With constant cardio-exercises/high intensity sports, one can increase the lung capacity and pumping ability of the heart, so you inhale more oxygen per breath and your heart also pumps more oxygen rich blood into the stream per beat as compared to an average individual who is not into such activities.

Thats wrong, no rest is req just because you reach 85%.

You can comfortably train above 90% too.

Actually MHR is not that important, but you need to know your Lact
Threshold HR and usually thats taken as about 90% of MHR. You then
calculate your zones from there. Zone 5 starts at LTHR and interval
training takes you well within that esp for short intervals.

When I climb Nandi, I remain below LT till about 5km [because I choose
to], but certainly above LT thereafter. YMMV as you guys are probably
fitter/younger than me but this is some basic info.
