Important information to determine your correct and optimal
heart rate as well as the heart rates proper application
during the workout can be found in the training guide on the
ENERGETICS CD "Personal Training Instruction".
Hand pulse sensor record the variation in resistance, which
is created by the pulsation of the blood flowing through
the palms. Movement on the handgrips, friction, moisture
and perspiration will influence the transmission. There are among
people appreciable physiological differences in the characteris-
tics of the resistance change. For some people the resistance is to
weak to even be measured. In this case the computer will show
no heart rate.
All these factors influence the measurement, which makes it
imprecise and it should only be used for orientation.
If the hands are dry at the beginning of the workout the hand
pulse sensors might not pick up a signal at all or register a faulty
one. Usually it is sufficient to moisten the palms to correct this.
The values that are measured and calculated here are not based
on medically valid measuring methods. The values therefore
might not be accurate. Please contact your physician for a medi-
cally valid measurement.
The heart rate measurement using the hand pulse sensors is
not fit for medical purposes!
