Today, almost every endurance athlete has a heart rate monitor. However, using it correctly is not that easy. The new book "Training control with heart rate monitors" by Dr Kuno Hottenrott is a good guide for beginners and experts alike. On 145 pages, the sports scientist succeeds in illuminating all the important aspects of sensible heart rate-controlled training and explaining them in clear language.
Although the heart rate monitor manufacturer Polar is co-financing the book and the author has been working closely with the Finnish company for a long time, the book has an unobtrusive and objective design. Clear tables, specific training examples and numerous pictures lighten up the texts, while a collection of frequently asked questions and a detailed glossary round off this compact work.
The investment of 14.95 euros is worthwhile for anyone who wants to find out about the right training with the heart rate monitor in a concise but detailed way.
