  • Heart Rate Training, Second Edition, ebook
  • Online continuing education exam
With a myriad of affordable smartphone apps and wearable devices enabling you to track the body’s response to activity, it’s never been easier to use heart rate monitoring to customize your clients' training—and Heart Rate Training, Second Edition, will show you how!

Authors Roy Benson and Declan Connolly combine decades of coaching experience, scientific research, and practical knowledge to help you understand the best way to utilize heart rate monitors with your clients. They will show you how to get reliable data from a device, dispel myths surrounding heart rate monitors, and make it easy for you to calculate ideal target heart rates. Then you’ll learn how to customize training by varying the intensity, duration, frequency, and mode of exercise sessions to work toward improving endurance, stamina, economy, and speed.

Information on heart rate variability (HRV) training further prepares you to individualize training plans based on each clients’ personal goals. As a bonus, sample exercise programs will guide you in manipulating training components to design long-term training plans for walking, running, cycling, swimming, triathlon, rowing, cross-country skiing, and team sports.

After reading the ebook, certified professionals can take the companion CE exam to earn continuing education credits.
