| | Heart rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Continuous electrocardiographic monitoring of the heart rate is routinely done in many clinical settings, especially in critical care medicine. | | | Commercially available heart rate monitors are also available, consisting of a chest strap with electrodes. | | | Heart rate monitors allow accurate measurements to be taken continuously and can be used during exercise when manual measurement would be difficult or impossible (such as when the hands are being used). |

| | Making Your Heart Rate Count |
| | Your heart rate is actually a motivating friend when you learn to monitor it properly, for this allows you to objectively detect beneficial changes which you can't otherwise see. | | | Heart rates taken during exercise indicate how hard your heart is working. | | | For example, if your heart rate is above your working heart rate range, it's telling you to slow down a little and use fewer arm movements. |

| | They are based on the increase in heart rate (and cardiac output) as the oxygen consumption of the exercising muscle increases, and the concept of the benefits of variable stress in developing the exercising muscle (heart or skeletal). | | | Your resting heart rate (RHR) is another indicator of your degree of training (and monitor for moving into an overtrained state). | | | The result is a lower heart rate for any level of physical activity in the trained versus the untrained individual. |

| | Knowing how to measure your heart rate or pulse, can help you to learn about your own degree of fitness and can help to detect potential medical problems that should be brought to the attention of your physician. | | | Your heart is a muscle and will respond just like any skeletal muscle in that it will become stronger through conditioning. | | | This condition is called tachycardia (increased heart rate). |

| | Heart Rate Monitors |
| | Heart rate is a barometer a professional athlete or weekend warrior can use to measure exercise intensity. | | | Also, after exercise is stopped, your heart immediately begins to recover to a resting level, the pulse you find and count won’t accurately reflect what your heart rate was during actual exercise. | | | During the initial stages of training, to gradually adapt to the new level of activity, you’d want to exercise at a level that allows you to maintain a heart rate between 90 and 108 beats per minute for the duration of the workout. |

| | Your Pulse and Your Target Heart Rate |
| | Usually this is when your exercise heart rate (pulse) is 60 percent to 80 percent of your maximum heart rate. | | | If you are taking heart medicines, recording your pulse on a daily basis and reporting the results to your health care provider can help your provider determine if the medicines are working properly. | | | If you are taking medicines or have a medical condition (such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes), always ask your doctor if your maximum heart rate/target heart rate will be affected. |

| | Heart Rate Variability |
| | Although resting heart rate does not change significantly with advancing age, there is a decline in HRV, which has been attributed to a decrease in efferent vagal tone and reduced beta-adrenergic responsiveness. | | | Heart rate variability: standards of measurement, physiological interpretation and clinical use. | | | By contrast, regular physical activity (which slows down the aging process) has been shown to raise HRV, presumably by increasing vagal tone. |

| | ObGyn/Pregnancy issues: Fetal Heart Rate |
| | We do not usually monitor the baby's heart until it reaches 24 weeks or more, but the way to assess fetal well being is to perform a non stress test with a fetal monitor and see if there is good beat-beat variability with accelerations from time to time. | | | I was concerned I was getting my heart rate so had my husband take my pulse while this was happening and my rate stayed around 65 to 70 bpm. | | | I am using a home doppler and have noted what seems to be a substantial deceleration in the fetal heart tones and am wondering if this is normal or not. |

| | Why Heart Rate Monitoring |
| | By monitoring heart rate, the simple observation that the harder we exercise, the faster our heart beats is put to good use. | | | Because of the immediate feedback it provides, heart rate monitoring is an ideal training partner. | | | The harder the training, the more fuel the muscles need and the harder the heart has to work to pump oxygen-rich blood to the muscles. |

| | HEART RATE: HOW TO COUNT |
| | Anyone taking heart medications or who has a pacemaker should keep a log of their exercise pulse checks. | | | Resume exercising immediately after the pulse check so your heart rate does not have time to slow down out of your training heart rate range. | | | During exercise, 6 or 10 second pulse checks can be used. |

| | Heart Rate |
| | When you exercise, the heart and lungs must supply oxygen to the muscles. | | | The more intensity (how hard you do an exercise) you put into a work out, the faster your heart has to work and the greater the benefits. | | | When you exercise what does your heart and lungs supply to your muscles? |

| | This approach requires measuring your pulse periodically as you exercise and staying within 50 to 75 percent of your maximum heart rate. | | | Some people can't measure their pulse or don't want to take their pulse when exercising. | | | If you participate in more-vigorous activities like brisk walking and jogging, the "conversational pace" approach may not work. |

| | Monitoring Fetal Heart Rate/Decels |
| | This is a normal physiological response to pressure on the baby's head, as when the head meets the resistance of the pelvic floor muscles or the pelvis itself, often the ischial spines. | | | The key point is that if the baby's heart rate goes right back to normal as soon as the contraction ends, this is a sign that the baby is not in any kind of distress. | | | The most common change in fetal heart tones in second stage is a pattern called an "early decel", where decel is short for deceleration. |

| | Besides the strain and injuries that can result, the heart is simply working too fast for any benefit, and your body cannot replenish oxygen that quickly. | | | People who exercise regularly do build up endurance, but they gain little additional value when their heart rate goes above 80 percent of their maximum. | | | Similarly, regular exercise below the 60 percent mark has little sustainable impact -- though for beginners, it's a good place to start. |
