% HRM #96

Open ssaring opened 16 years ago

Hello I think that it would be well to give the HRM in % rather than in bpm on the polarview's graph, and to be able to choose between % and bpm on the general's option. P.S. Sorry for the faults, I am French and congratulation for this beautiful project.

The maximum heartrate of the user is required for this feature, but it's not available yet. Maybe we need to add it to the options dialog.

Hello,

I think it would not be a big improvement only to add a maximum HR. It would be much more clearer and structured if you could enter your HR-Zones. Then its easier to realize a summery for the time you spend in a special HR-Zone.

Heartrate zones in options? AFAIK the zone ranges will change from time to time. That's why it wouldn't be a good soultion to enter them once for all the recorded data of all years. Then the problem would be that the showed data is OK for this year, but not for the exercises of e.g. last winter.

Am I wrong? Stefan

@Stefan: You're right ;-)

In the Polar Precision Performance Program there are User Settings where you can define several HR-Zone-Sets (in % of your HRmax and absolute). You can attach a HR-Zone-Set to each Sport-Type (because Zones can differ between sports activities). These Zones are then saved into the HRM-exercise-Files, when you add a new HRM. There is a field in the header for it. If you record your exercises with s710d and execute srd2hrm these fields are empty. (I'm not quite sure but I think it goes this way). I dont know if the srd-files also can save the HR-Zones in the header. So changing you HR-Zones does not affect previous exercises.

HR-Zones and some (graphical) statistics (times in the Zones per day/week/month/year/... ) would be a big upgrade of sportstracker :-)

Sportstracker becomes better and better :-) thx

I don't think that it's possible to add the current heartrate zones data to the binary SRD files. And it's also a bad way, because SportsTracker supports multiple file formats. This feature should work for all of them.

The cleanest solution in my eyes would be a zone configuration dialog where the user can setup its current zones. These settings are bound to the edit time and all the older settings are saved as well. So SportsTracker could get the valid settings for the exercise timestamp whenever these are needed.

So, sounds like much work. It will not be implemented in the current Mono-based version, but maybe in the upcoming Java-release.
