Can anyone share experience with wearing a heart monitor during sports or other recreation? (hiking/walking/etc). I am considering purchasing one and wearing it to monitor and graph my heart activity while jogging.
Combined with my quarterly EKG's, It seems like a good way to watch the effects of exercise on my heart over time. (not to mention it would hopefully give me some indications of stress on my heart if it is occuring). What is considered to be a safe "maximum" heart rate for HCMrs? I've heard 20% below what is recommended... but I imagine that too varies based on the individual.
