Description

Product Description
Fine-tune your workout intensity! Precision Heart Rate Training fully explains why and how to train with a heart rate monitor.

Editor Edmund Burke introduces the basic concepts of heart rate training. Then an all-star panel of experts explains how to design and use training programs for seven different sports and activities:

• Walking—Therese Iknoian

• Running—Roy Benson

• Cycling—Joe Friel

• In-line Skating—Frank Fedel

• Multisport Training—Timothy Moore

• Circuit Training—Wayne Westcott

• Group Exercise—Jay Blahnik

Each chapter contains training guidelines specific to the activity described, including how to find the optimal training intensity, design an effective training program, and adjust workout intensity, plus sample workouts or programs, or both. And Jim Dotter, founder of Biometrics, Inc., contributes a special chapter on ways to use heart data for long-term training.

With heart rate monitors, athletes and exercisers can use high-tech biofeedback training to develop state-of-the-art programs for better performance. Precision Heart Rate Training shows you how to take full advantage of today’s training technology.

I have been interested in improving my performance for years, and finally decided to take the plunge and look into heart-rate monitoring. This book does not really support a specific philosophy and who knows if the so called "science" is supportable. I also read "Heart Monitor Training for the Compleat Idiot" by John L. Parker and recommend it. It appears much more scientific and emphasizes recovery over training in a zone. Don't buy this book. Rory Donaldson roryd@brainsarefun.com

I do inline skating, skiing, and weight training, but every time I tried to take up running, I would hit a wall. I just couldn't run for long sessions, and after a few I would hurt something and give up. Then I read about Ed Burke in Outside. This book, along with Burke's "Optimal Muscle Recovery" (I tore an Achilles tendon and developed plantar fascitis from skating and skiing) and "Stretching" finally got me to understand that I wasn't building the base I needed in order to run better. By following the training programs in this book, I've greatly increased my capacity without injury, and am slowly seeing my speed increase. Also liked this book because it took a different approach for each covered sport, and it treated inline skating with the respect it deserves as an endurance activity.

I had bought the book to help me with Mtn. bike training and my son with running. The book didn't provide information for mtn. biking though it did have a section on road biking. The running chapter seemed incomplete. The major table that was supposed to explain the heart rate targets was not explained fully. Also, oddly, there is a quote in there that is identical in two chapters but attritubted to two different people!

In summary, I was disappointed with the book but it may be helpful to someone else.

Given some of the less-than-favourable reviews here I thought I was going to find an average, if not hum-drum book. I was very pleasantly surprised! This is a great book, very detailed with good descriptions of the Karvonon method of calculating HRR (Heart Rate Reserve) and its correlation to VO2 Max and Net VO2 and how to use this information to determine appropriate training zones. It had some good sections on various other fitness activities (such as cycling, swimming and walking) and serves as a good resource for anyone wanting to get fit faster while lowering your chances of injury or overtrainig.

I think if you combined this book with "Heart Rate Monitor Training for the Compleat Idiot" you'd posses all the information you'd ever need to train to maximum effectiveness with your heart rate monitor.

Ed Burke, Colorado's most noted exercise physiologist and a professor at the University of Colorado has written another great book. Ed has been a professor for over two decades and a respected author as well. He hasn't traumatized his own body--like traumatizing means engaging in the eco-challenge, 100 mile runs and other dance until you die events. I think most people want to be fit and have fun. Fun is what Burke is all about.
