When to wear a heart rate monitor?
I've had a life long history of tachycardia. A little over a week ago, I had an ablation as treatment for atrial flutter. Since then, I've already been back to the doctor and put back on anti arrythmia medication. My heart rate is still high, and now I'm also experiencing sharp chest pains. Should I consider wearing a heart rate monitor for awhile? I see there are some simple ones like a watch. Should I be recording my heart rate? How frequently?
Heart Rate Monitors: To Wear or Not to Wear
Personal trainers: Do you recommend that your clients wear heart rate monitors? Why or why not? IDEA asked several trainers for their opinions.
John Platero, director of education for the National Council for Certified Personal Trainers, Newbury Park, California, requires each of his clients to purchase a heart rate monitor and wear it when they train together. Here are some reasons why.
“My client and I wear a Polar F series model so I can monitor heart rate without having to take the client’s pulse, grab his wrist or stop him from exercising,” says Platero. “The heart monitor also shows the client his average heart rate, maximum heart rate, calories expended and percentage of those calories that came from fat.
