Finding the heart rate monitor device number

Each heart rate monitor has a unique identifier built-in. The identifier is a number that it is uniquely assigned to a heart rate monitor.

The device number must be associated with a user. Once the association is made, every time a person will wear that heart rate monitor, our application will automatically recognize him. This must only be done once.

Finding the Heart Rate Monitor Device Number

Our cloud services make it easy to manage the associations and keep your data safe. All your data in our cloud services are backed up. If you change or break your device you can easily recover all your data with the press of a button.

See Cloud services getting started guide.

Selfloops at IMD2017

Selfloops at IMD 2017 together with Spinning® Italy.

A great event together with a crowd of Spinning® enthusiasts.

Multiple TV screens on the gym

you can connect multiple TVs with just one single tablet. You need to use a device called “HDMI video splitter“.
This device gets as input a single HDMI input (from the tablet) and splits it to multiple outputs (the TVs).

Further Insights using the Critical Power Analysis

Athletes and coaches are used to analyze the so called Critical Power (CP) curve. The CP curve shows the power an athlete can sustain for a certain period of time. For example a CP5 of 500W means the rider was able to sustain an average of 500W for 5 seconds as its best performance in all his rides. See our previous post Analyze your power output.

Today, we have added an additional metric to the CP analysis, that is the average heart rate during that effort. The heart rate metric adds an additional insight and quantifies the impact of that effort on the body.

The Critical Power analysis can be used with bike power, rowing power and running power.

At equal power performances, the lower heart rate highlights an athlete in a better shape and form.

With the Peak Power Evolution line chart, it is possible to follow the evolution of each CP line (CP5 seconds,CP10 seconds,etc.) and how the power and heart rate evolve with time. The range period can be selected.

We believe this is an additional advanced analysis that can be used to help athletes improve and reach their potential.
