With the Selfloops platform, we offer an easy way to keep track of your fitness and sport activities intensity level.

You can select, for example, the Selfloops Trends feature and visualize how your TRIMP changes over time. The TRIMP score measures your activity intensity taking into account the heart rate data and the time spent while exercising. This is an easy and immediate way to see how hard you have worked during the year.

In the picture below the bar chart shows your accumulated TRIMP score for each month, and the line chart shows the number of the activities performed in that month.

If you use a bike power meter, instead of the TRIMP score, you can use the Training Load, that measures the activity intensity using the bike power (Watts) and the time spent while riding.

Any way, Selfloops Trends allows you to easily keep track of your efforts at glance.

Nippo-Fantini pro cycling team will use Selfloops to track and analyze sport performance. We are proud to be contribute to their successes.

The latest Garmin FR235 watch has an optical HR Sensor. The nice thing about this watch is that you can use it with our Group Fitness service since it can rebroadcast the HR signal.

From the DCRainmaker blog post Garmin Forerunner 230 & 235 In-Depth Review:
“Lastly, the FR235 can have its HR signal ‘rebroadcasted’ to other ANT+ capable devices.  The unit rebroadcasts the HR over ANT+, identically to that of a heart rate strap. ”

To enable this, you’ll start from the main time page and press down till you see this HR page. Then, you’ll HOLD the up button down for a few seconds, which gives you this little nugget:

yes, it is now possible to track the heart rate of a group of swimmers from the side of the pool.

With the Selfloops Group Fitness services and wrist heart rate monitors, coaches can monitor in real-time the intensity level of the workouts while the athletes swim.
