I am looking to purchase a reliable heart rate monitor for research use. Despite the obvious quality of Polar HR equipment (I used Polar team in my previous institution), the majority of the new monitors appear only to have software for use on a mobile phone (e.g. Polar H7). I am concerned about the limitation of this software to allow detailed analysis of the data collected.
I would be keen to hear opinions on good (i.e. valid, reliable) heart rate monitors that connect to software that allows detailed analysis of a session (i.e. mean HR, peak HR, analysis of HR within different time periods).
I have already had a trawl around Research Gate and seen some interesting information, but these mainly relate to HR monitors for specific HRV measurements. I would be using the device to record HR during short and long duration exercise tests (i.e. max tests, performance tests).
Thanks!
Hi Bryan,
We now use FirstBeat for our Team stuff. They have been excellent (much better than Polar). May be worth checking out their website for individual monitoring solutions.
Thanks both. I have had a look on the website, which I find slightly difficult to manoeuvre around, but have sent them and the local supplied an email requesting information and a quotation. Prices for Brazil are always inflated so I fear the worst!
Hi,
Suunto used to be decent, but I'm not sure what it's like now to be honest.
good luck
Julien
we realize a device that gives R-R intervals in real time by plethysmography and software of analysis by standard and advanced methods..... you may contact me if interested...
