How does the smart watch work on heart rate monitoring

Updated: Sep 28, 2022

How to measure exercise heart rate?


In order to measure the heart rate during exercise, it is best to wear a heart rate monitor or a smart watch. The smart watch can monitor the heart rate. Most athletes wear a smart watch to monitor their heart rate changes during exercise. There are too many smart watches to choose from on the market. Such as Apple watch, HUAWEI watch, Samsung Galaxy watch, Veepoo watch RIG, Fitbit, Garmin. Smart watches such as Xiaomi can monitor heart rate. In particular, Veekoon watch RIG will be more accurate, after all, the main focus is on health monitoring.



How to use heart rate to guide running training and competition?


If you don't have a heart rate monitor or smart watch, you need to manually measure your heart rate immediately after you stop running. But after the exercise is stopped, the heart rate will recover over time. And the runner with better endurance, the faster his heart rate recovers. Considering this factor, the correct way to measure heart rate manually is:


1) Measure the heartbeat for 10 seconds immediately after the exercise stops (within 10-20 seconds at the latest)


2) Exercise heart rate = number of heartbeats in 10 seconds * 6 + 10


We often see that old Chinese doctors treat the pulse as the wrist, but the carotid artery is still recommended for running heart rate.


However, most people do not have a good grasp of the method of manually measuring heart rate, so using a heart rate monitor or smart watch for exercise heart rate measurement is the most accurate method. And smart watches such as Apple watch, HUAWEI watch, Samsung Galaxy watch, and Veepoo watch RIG are very accurate in measuring exercise heart rate. Currently widely liked.




Maximum heart rate varies greatly among individuals


Increase the exercise intensity, the heart rate will also rise, the heart rate can not rise any more, it is the highest heart rate. Generally speaking, the maximum heart rate of men in their 20s is around 200, and then decreases with age. But if you keep exercising, the low rate of the maximum heart rate will slow down. Generally speaking, it is difficult for us to notice that our maximum heart rate drops with the rest of our age. If we are more concerned about changes in heart rate, we can equip ourselves with a heart rate monitor or smart watch. Heart rate monitors, or smart watches, may help us monitor heart rate changes well, thereby protecting people's health.


In other words, for young people, training has no effect on the maximum heart rate, and the older you are, the more you can show the effect of exercise on the maximum heart rate. In addition, the lactic acid resistance of the muscles is improved through training, and higher intensity training can be received, which will also increase the maximum heart rate.


How to use heart rate to guide running training and competition?


The actual method of measuring the maximum heart rate is to gradually increase the exercise intensity of the test until the exercise capacity of the whole body is fully exerted. But there are certain risks, especially for middle-aged and elderly people who do not have exercise habits. So most of the time, the maximum heart rate can only be predicted by calculation.


The commonly used calculation formula is: Maximum heart rate = 220-age.


There is also a formula: maximum heart rate = 206.9-(0.67 × age).





These formulas are for the general public who have no exercise habits. For a well-trained marathon runner, it is certainly not applicable. There are also records of elite players in their 60s who have actually measured a maximum heart rate of 180. Therefore, we need to keep track of the changes in heart rate for a long time, and smart watches can have a better heart rate monitoring effect. Apple watch, HUAWEI watch, Samsung Galaxy watch, Veekoon watch RIG and other smart watches are all good choices.
