Abstract:
In little over a decade, lightweight radiotelemetric equipment has been designed and developed which measures heart rate accurately under free-living conditions. The rate of refinement of the heart rate monitor technology has far exceeded the rate at which the understanding of heart rate during exercise has improved. This brief paper lists the problems and questions that need to be addressed to improve our understanding and application of heart rate measured during exercise to optimize exercise prescription for health and sports performance.

Regulation of Heart Rates
The SNS increases heart rate through the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine, which act on beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart. This action increases the rate of depolarization in the sinoatrial (SA) node, the heart's...
Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
Purposes
Special considerations while measuring pulse
