Polar H10 Heart Rate Sensor for Equine with Handle Unisex Adults, Black, One Size

Product Information

Keeping the heart rate within this aerobic zone ensures a rapid heart rate recovery when the exercise stops. The heart rate monitor becomes particularly interesting when it offers, as does the Equisense Motion S, the possibility of recovering the ECG (electrocardiogram). Measuring heart rate variability in horses to investigate the autonomic nervous system activity: pros and cons of different methods.

A commonly used interpretation—based on benchmarks suggested by Cohen ( 46)—is to refer to effect sizes as: zero or nearly zero effect, 0 ≤ | d| < 0. The next step is to apply gel or water to the electrodes (and the horse's hair at the electrode site if you're using water). In conclusion, the HRM system as described in this study accurately measures time-based parameters of HRV in horses during groundwork, after applying the strong correction factor in Kubios software. This means that measurements of the HRM system, both during baseline measurements and during groundwork are within the limits of agreement for both HR and time domain HRV parameters. The horse neighs (low soft sound) or whinnies (starts high pitched and may end in neigh), and vocalizes in another way (excluding snort) ( 36, 37).

This means that no distinction can be made between the effects of physical exercise and psychological stress. With Polar Equine Healthcheck, the control of rest and recovery heart rate of your Horse easier than ever.

These sensors usually consist of a strap or electrode system that is placed on the horse’s body, often around the girth area or under the saddle pad. Measuring their heart rate at rest and when walking on a long rein, as well as a quick analysis of their attitude, can help you see if your horse is stressed. Forerunner 920XT packs a fleet of high-end training features into a sleek watch that is wet suit-friendly and about 15 percent lighter than its predecessor, the Forerunner 910XT. Agreement between electrocardiogram and heart rate meter is low for the measurement of heart rate variability during exercise in young endurance horses.The rugged Forerunner 310XT is the triathletes indispensable training tool — a GPS-enabled trainer that is water-resistant to 50m, tracks bike and run data and sends it wirelessly to your computer. The authors would like to thank Quinten Nijenhuis for his contribution to the practical work and associate professor P. Understanding your horse’s training zones, as well as aerobic versus anaerobic efforts, is important to target a training program to your specific equestrian discipline.
