About the Inventor - Simon Wegerif

Simon has had a long time interest in both electronic technology & endurance sports. He worked for Philips Electronics for 15 years, to VP level, and has been inventing & developing electronic products since the age of 11. A keen cyclist & former triathlete, Simon decided to combine his two passions, and the concept of ithlete was born.

Having read many papers on exercise physiology, the subject of heart rate variability became interesting when I saw that there was a large amount of published research on the subject (over 2000 papers in medical journals), showing clearly that HRV could be a reliable indicator of both accumulated fatigue & improvements in health & fitness, but very few products that regular sports enthusiasts could use to optimise their own training. I hope your training benefits as much as mine has through using ithlete!
