If supervision is agreed upon with a specialist or trainer, use the same load and the same recovery time points.
Main idea
Home measurement is only useful if the procedure is clear: a few minutes of rest, a suitable cuff, support for the back and arms, no talking while the tonometer is working.
Post-exercise heart rate depends on the type of activity, intensity, training level and when measured, so without context the numbers are difficult to compare. First practical guide for this task: describe the type and duration of activity.
Action plan
- 01
Describe the type and duration of activity.
- 02
Measure at a pre-selected interval.
- 03
Note your temperature, how you feel, and any unusual symptoms.
- 04
Do not mix post-exercise values with resting heart rate.
What most often distorts observation?
- Compete with other people's recovery values.
- Continue the test if you feel unwell.
- Draw a medical conclusion based on one training session.
How does this relate to Vesometr
In Vesometr, add the post-exercise value only with an explanatory note, otherwise it will appear as a normal heart rate later.
Blood pressure and pulse
Measurements, wellbeing and the circumstances of each reading in one entry.
What to review later
What is important for a doctor is not a collection of individual high or low values, but a series of records with date, time, pulse, well-being and circumstances of measurement.
For a final review, go back to the last step: do not mix post-exercise values with resting heart rate. Compare it to the original target and specifically note exceptions that cannot be explained by the available records.
Vesometr does not assess the risk of indications and does not prescribe treatment. If there is a sharp deterioration in health, chest pain, severe shortness of breath, speech impairment, weakness in a limb or other acute symptom, urgent medical attention is needed, and not an entry in the application.
Full medical disclaimerBrief conclusion
Post-exercise heart rate depends on the type of activity, intensity, training level and when measured, so without context the numbers are difficult to compare. Working minimum to continue: describe the type and duration of activity. After this, use the remaining points as a testable plan and keep only actual observations.
