Using heart rate monitors for training???

They are important, for years ive been trying to get one with a 200 metre range for track work without luck. Anybody know where one can be found.

 

very good to use and regularly use them on my non boxing days, when doing my sprints, long distance and own circuits i use them, especially good for staying in the maximum fat burning zone when on a long distance cardio exercise

 

"Fat burning zone" is BS.

 

so you are claiming all the scientific studies which found extremely similar results of an optimum fat burning hr zone is bull****, usually when you make claims like that an argument for your case would be good

 

Theres lots of ways to use them, then theres not atsch, with a little bit of thought theres a wide range of uses for knowing when to come down and when to push. Testing something one day, which I referred to on Stretching. Testing on a Treadmill an ordinary one 6 people had a range of between 179 to 206 Yet on another Treadmill they registered 146 to 139 puzzling at first. took it to a Sports Science Lab which at the moment is the best Facility there is. After 4 months of Testing it was discovered that Running Horizontal makes the Heart work 35% more efficient, wonderful things are time peices.

 

I agree with him actually. It's the sprinting vs. running debate. In my opinion it does not matter one bit, a burned calorie is a burned calorie. If you didn't eat it, it will come from fat whether in rest or during activity.

The Best way is Sprnting without impact, things are about to change :hi:

 

i found it was useful for finding which conditioning drills push your heart the most, i have a record on my highest ever recorded hr for different drills i done, i have never worn one in sparring which i would like to do but i have one thats goes around my chest and it cost me a bit so i dont want it getting smashed by a body shot, i also found it good for finding which breathing technique lowered my heart rate the quickest during 1 60 second rest period, i find it very useful when doing a warm up, i always like to hit my desired hr during a warm up

the hr monitors on threadmills are not accurate at all

ok i see what your saying , but you need to get a happy medium and cover all aspects of training, im a big 75 kg fighter and most people when they see me think i would have had no chance making the 75kg limit but through running at a good pace keeping my hr below 75% of its maximum i seem to be able to burn a lot of fat compared to a few years ago when i didnt take into account any of this scientific approach and i use to struggle years ago to make 75 kgs even with a lot less muscle mass, imo the importance of hr for training is very underrated

 

Slayer, it wasnt on the Treadmill, or do you mean the AB, AD resistance is different.

 

my bad just read your post slower and now i get you, eh god knows dodgy hr monitors maybe because that sounds bad, the one i have has never given me results where i think wtf

 

The tests were done in a Laboratry, no problem

 

What are the heart rates?

healthy rates for resting?
optimum rate for burning fat?

 

Personally, i'm not a fan of hr monitors, or at least when i'm training anyway. I've been training for long enough and know my body well enough to know whether I can give more, when and how long to rest or to increase/decrease the intensity of my training. I use my knowledge of my own body to guide my training, rather than relying on what someone has said who has never met me, trained with me, or has no knowledge of my body - although with that being said, I certainly don't disagree with what the scientists recommend.

I do find them handy when i'm training someone else however, or atleast until I get to know their training capabilities and the results of their training anyway.
