Minimising possible risks in exercising with a heart rate monitor

Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been sedentary. To minimise possible risks consider the following advice:

Before beginning a regular exercise program consult your doctor

if you are over 40 years of age and have not been following a regular exercise program during the past 5 years

if you smoke

if you have high blood pressure

if you have high blood cholesterol

if you have any signs or symptoms of any disease

if you are recovering from a serious illness or a medical treatment e.g. surgery

if you use a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device.

Note also that in addition to exercise intensity the heart rate can be affected by, amongst others, heart, circulation (particularly high blood pressure) and asthma and other breathing medications, as well as some energy drinks, alcohol and nicotine.

It is important to be sensitive to your body’s reactions during

the exercise. If you feel unexpected pain or tiredness regarding your exercise intensity level, it is recommended to stop the exercise or continue at a lighter intensity.

If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact

with the skin, check the Polar heart rate monitor materials from the “Technical specifications” chapter. It is recommended that you wear the transmitter against your bare skin to ensure flawless operation. However, if you wish to wear the transmitter over a shirt, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes.

Notice to persons with pacemakers, defibrillator or other

implanted electronic device. Persons who have a pacemaker use the Polar heart rate monitor at their own risk. Before starting use, we always recommend an exercise test under doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the heart rate monitor.
