Activio heart rate system
Activio heart rate system
The Swedish company Activio has developed a simple, efficient and fun concept for use in heart rate based group trainings – individually and anonymously. Customers in Sweden and Norway, amongst other places, are truly impressed with the product.
The Activio heart rate system was demonstrated and tested by the ”spinning” teams at the Nike Conventions held in Denmark in September 2006/2007, and the participants were very excited about the system. Activio users obtain direct feedback on their work performance, providing them with a unique training experience and a valuable tool in terms of identifying the most suitable individual training level based on each person’s conditions and training goals. Each participant on the training team is given a heart rate chest belt. The heart rate information is transmitted during training in a wireless manner and depicted by means of an intensity monitor that makes up the optimal training tool for participants and instructors alike.
The Activio heart rate system fits everybody, i.e. both beginners and more experienced participants. Before the training, the participants log onto the system on the touch screen, typing in their age or estimated maximum heart rate. This information is then used to calculate an individual training zone for each participant. Beginners can easily start calibrating their intensity monitor on the touch screen. The participants are able to identify their personal monitor by means of an anonymous number located on the heart rate chest belt. The intensity monitor shows the current heart rate, its percentage of the maximum heart rate as well as the various training zones.
TRAIN IN AN INTELLIGENT AND EFFICIENT WAY USING YOUR HEART RATE AS A GUIDE
The heart is your most important muscle and it plays a vital role with regards to your well-being. Heart rate training means letting your heart guide your training sessions to a much higher extent, thereby benefitting beginners as well as more experienced participants alike. During the training, you need to identify the most suitable level depending on your goals, e.g. to increase heart and body capacity, increase your metabolism and calorie burning rates in an efficient manner, or to expand your muscle strength. Your heart rate frequency provides you with honest, reliable and direct information on the way in which the heart is actually working. For beginners, regular heart rate feedback is an invaluable tool in terms of controlling the training and exerting oneself in the correct way. Regular heart rate feedback assists in increasing participant knowledge on body performance levels by providing them with the information needed to be able to identify the correct training concepts in relation to their goals. In addition, heart rate feedback has a positive psychological effect, and many people consider it a really fun and stimulating concept.
