I am very concerned about training with the right puls, I tried to find some info on what heart rate to train at, but so far I just have general info.I would really like to keep my heart healthy, because I stumbled into an article(it's in Russian, unfortunately, so I cannot post it here ... I will translate it some time) about how important it is to train and not go over 180 beats per minute(especially for starters) a lot during work-outs and try to mostly keep it in the range of 120-150, otherwise it is a slow path to a heart attack ...So I was wondering: how do you guys measure your heart rate and what do you try to keep it at most of the time and how often do you train with maximum heart rate?
Thanks a bunch.
P.S the article I refer to is extremely interesting, I will translate it one day ...
This could be the chapters of some books.
Anyway with the hlp of babelfish I made it through both articles. Man it took a long time. Machine translated language is hard to read.
At any rate, the author states that traiing excessively at 190 bpm or over leads to cardiac dysplasia through loss of appropriate blood flow to the heart muscle.
This is the first I have heard of it. In fact in the well respected book "The Lore of Running" the mian thrust of the book develops around the central tenet that lack of oxygen to theheart muscle doesn't occur in helathy people. That it is only present in unhealthy individuals and is readily recogized as angina.
However, our tri club had a presentation from a Dr. Hari Tandri studying endurance athletes hearts at Johns Hopkins. The phenomenon in the article of the athlete's heart being very large but not contracting effectively - just rattling around was shown to us. In fact we saw an MRI video of it. He made no mention of the hypothesis that we can actually induce this condition through training. I think I'll email him.
In any case, the author states that this condition arises from a very large heart but low stroke volume as evidenced by abnormally high heart rates during exercise. Simply checking your hear trate for ten seconds after high intensity sets will be enough to stay away from the numbers this author says will bring on heart problems.
There are lots of other interesting things in these articles.
