Abstract :
An overview is presented of a portable heart-rate monitoring device. The device can automatically calculate fitness parameters by monitoring the subject´s heart rate and pacing the subject through a submaximal exercise stress test protocol. The use of the device to monitor work capacity and maximum oxygen uptake is examined.<>
