    Recording heart rate while exercising Link to this post

    22 March 2010 at 5:29pm

    Hi there all,

    I like the idea of this device/app but just wnodered if this can be used during exercise? If so is there an app that can be used to monitor heart rate during exercise, so other calculations can be made like calories burned, what region heart rate is in, like cardio or fat burning etc. I read somewhere the device only has a range of 8"?

    Cheers

    Hi there Silverfox

    ithlete was designed specifically for use at close range for HRV measurements, where you need to be very careful about a good quality signal & no interference.

    We're in the late stages of preparing an HRM app that can be used during exercise, will have a normal HRM range and will give good quality personal training zone info & calorie calculations.
    It will store sessions and lap times to a log that can be browsed later.

    - and it will have really good power consumption so it does not drain your iPhone battery!

    What kind of training would you use it in? any other features the community sees as valuable?

    Hi there,

    That sounds like great news, I thought you might have been on the case in getting a nice app and heart rate monitor during exercise working, as I am not sure if anything else exists. I know some are out there that use the microphone, to monitor your heart rate, but I think I am just a bit sceptical how that could work, but being able to monitor heart rate and produce graphs of results of exercise and past periods of exercise would be ideal, including calrories.

    How far are you off releasing smoething like this? And would you be using similar (maybe something with larger range to pick up heart strap readings while exercising) receiver to be able to catch data from a heart rate monitor?

    I would use it while running, cycling, skipping, and any other exercise I would do, and then definately for the HRV readings too.

    Cheers

    Yes, it would use a similar receiver, so it will be accurate, but will have a longer range and will include a headphone socket so you can listen to music. It's being tested right now and I hope it will be available in a couple of months.

    Hi

    This is great news, but will the new app also work with the current adaptor? I have just bought this in the hope that it will I use bluetooth for headphones so will not need the earphone bypass.

    Thanks

    Hi. Is there an ETA on this yet or any way to sign up for a notification to be sent when it is released?

    Thanks

    Hi Alan

    Yes, indeed, ithlete HRM has been submitted for approval and I hope to go live in the UK first at beginning of Sept.

    I will send out more details in a couple of weeks.

    Simon.
