Accuracy of Polar S410 heart rate monitor to estimate energy cost of exercise

Article Abstract:

Accuracy of the Polar S410 for estimating gross energy expenditure (EE) during exercise when using both predicted and measured VO(sub 2max) and HR(sub max) versus indirect calorimetry (IC) is examined. The result reveals that when the predicted values of VO(sub 2max) and HR(sub max) are used, the Polar S410 heart rate monitor provides a rough estimate of EE during running, rowing, and cycling.

Pedometer-determined walking and body composition variables in African-American women

Article Abstract:

The relationship between pedometer-determined physical activity and body composition variables in middle-aged, African-American women is evaluated. Conclusions reveal that middle-aged, African-American women who accumulate more ambulatory activity have significantly lower body fat percentages, body mass index values, waist circumferences, and hip circumferences.
