POLAR Heart Rate Monitors BM&S
was the first nationwide importer-distributor of Polar Heart Rate Monitors in
New Zealand. Polar is what we started
business with back in 1988 therefore we have a particular fondness for this
product which led us to other compatible products we proudly represent today. We no
longer import Polar, however we still enjoy retailing it due to this compatibility with our other
products. We sell at RRP unless you
are a user of our other products where you can then enjoy EXCLUSIVE BM&S Customer Club discount

RS800CX with G3 GPS
sensor There have
been many advances in Polar since 1988.
One of the most exciting has been the development around analysis and
feed back of Heart Rate Variability.
Amongst other things this feature can tell you the state of recovery
you are in and whether you should train or not, and if so, at what adjusted
intensity. I feel this is as valuable
as lactate testing for optimising gains in your performance! Support Information Index: Medical -

Testing in Acute Assessement What
is being tested? When
cellular oxygen levels are decreased, however, and/or the mitochondria are
not functioning properly, the body must turn to less efficient anaerobic
energy production to metabolize glucose and produce ATP. In this process, the
primary byproduct is lactic acid, which can build up faster than the liver
can break it down. When lactic acid levels increase significantly in the
blood, the affected person is said to have first hyperlactatemia and then
lactic acidosis (LA). The body can often compensate for the effects of
hyperlactatemia, but LA can be severe enough to disrupt a persons acid/base
(pH) balance and cause symptoms such as muscular weakness, rapid
breathing, nausea, vomiting, sweating, and even coma. Lactic
acidosis is separated into two types: A and B. Type A may be due to
inadequate oxygen uptake in the lungs and/or to decreased blood flow
(hypoperfusion) resulting in decreased transport of oxygen to the tissues.
The most common reason for this is shock from a variety of causes including
trauma and blood loss, but LA may also be due to conditions such as heart
attack, congestive
heart failure, and pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs). Type B is caused
by conditions that increase the amount of lactate/lactic acid in the blood
but are not related to a decreased availability of oxygen. This includes liver
and kidney
disease, diabetes,
leukemia,
AIDS,
glycogen
storage diseases (such as glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency), drugs and
toxins, severe infections (both systemic sepsis
and meningitis),
and a variety of inherited metabolic and mitochondrial diseases (forms of
muscular dystrophy that affect normal ATP production). Strenuous exercise can
also result in increased blood levels of lactate. 1. Lactate Testing in General Practise With the advent of
the worlds first small hand-held lactate test meter launched in 1994 by Boehringer
Mannheim, the use of lactate prescription for effective and objective Green
Prescription was already well considered.
My personal observation is that the Europeans are well ahead of us in
this medically correct and safety
orientated approach to intensity prescription of exercise. It is this correct medical approach that
has been begging for implementation here in NZ. Fourteen years later (2008)
the right Doctor with knowledge & motivation to champion this cause here
is yet to be forthcoming! To view larger image

ABSTRACT Abstract Limited
information is available regarding the physiological responses to different
types of exercise training in patients with severe chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study was two fold: firstly, to
investigate the physiological response to training at 60% of achieved peak
load in patients with severe COPD; and secondly to study the effects of
interval (I) versus continuous (C) training in these patients. Twenty-one
patients with COPD (mean±sd
forced expiratory volume in one second: 37±15% of predicted, normoxaemic at
rest) were evaluated at baseline and after 8 weeks' training. Patients were
randomly allocated to either I or C training. The training was performed on a
cycle ergometer, 5 days a week, 30 min daily. The total work load was the
same for both training programmes. C training
resulted in a significant increase in oxygen consumption (V 'O2)
(17%, p<0.05) and a decrease in minute ventilation (V 'E)/V 'O2
(p<0.01) and V 'E/carbon dioxide production (V 'CO2)
(p<0.05) at peak exercise capacity, while no changes in these measures
were observed after interval training. During submaximal exercise a
significant decrease was observed in lactic acid production, being most pronounced in the C-trained group (-31%,
p<0.01 versus -20%, p<0.05). Only in the I-trained group did a
significant increase in peak work load (17%, p<0.05) and a decrease in leg
pain (p<0.05) occur. Training did not result in a significant improvement
in lung function, but maximal inspiratory mouth pressure increased in both
groups by 10% (C: p<0.05) and 23% (I: p<0.01). The present study
shows a different physiological response pattern to interval or continuous
training in chronic obstruction pulmonary disease, which might be a
reflection of specific training effects in either oxidative or glycolytic
muscle metabolic pathways. Further work is required to determine the role of
the different exercise programmes and the particular category of patients for
whom this might be beneficial. Books Allan Davie is
probably the pre-eminent advocate in Australasia of effective training of
race horses incorporating lactate testing.
The great value of his book is the simplicity of its explanation. Anybody can use it to catapult the training
of their horses into 21st Century method to earn positive
performance improvements.
AU$35 Price NZ$ relative to currency x-rate! Articles Bad news for heavy riders and narrow
horses March
3, 2008 Researchers
in the US have bad news for overweight horse riders. A study has found that
horses that have to carry between 25 and 30 per cent of their bodyweight have
more physical problems related to exercise than those who carry 20 percent or
less. Horses
carrying 30% body weight showed a significant increase in muscle soreness and
muscle tightness scores. The changes were less marked when they carried 25%
body weight. Dr
Debra Powell .... conducted a study ....performing a standardised ridden
exercise test in an indoor school arena. After five minutes active walk to
warm up, the horses were ridden at a trot (3m/s) for 4.8km, followed by 1.6km
at a canter (5m/s). This exercise schedule was chosen to simulate a 45-minute
work period of work typical of an intermediate-level riding school horse. The
researchers measured heart rate, plasma lactate concentration and creatine kinase. Lactate
is produced in the muscles during exercise. At low levels of work the body
can metabolise it and so levels in the plasma remain low. As the work level
increases the rate of lactate production exceeds the body's ability to remove
it and so concentrations rise. Creatine kinase (CK), an enzyme present in the
muscles, is released into the blood as a result of some types of muscle
damage. ...
Plasma lactate levels were higher immediately after exercise and 10 minutes
after end of exercise, in horses that carried 30% of their body weight.... ...(more)... http://www.horsetalk.co.nz/news/2008/03/011.shtml 1.
Lactate
Threshold Training by Janssen Janssen wrote the
seminal text Training Lactate Pulse-Rate in 1987 which was published by the
Polar Electro company of Finland inventors of Polar Heart Rate Monitors. At
this time when Polar was launched on the world, lactate testing was not
common, and Conconis method of analysing for the Heart Rate Deflection Point
was popular. This later 2001 book by
Janssen brings you up-to date in covering what you need to know whether
launching into a career preparing athletes or you are an athlete
yourself. Research,
training, and testing of elite endurance athletes at his sports medicine
advisory center in Deurne, Holland, has enabled Dr. Janssen to radically
change and improve coaching methods for a wide range of sports. Recognized as
one of the pioneers in lactate threshold training, Dr. Janssen has put
together this complete and comprehensive training manual. If you want to take
your endurance performance to the limit, you need to understand exactly what you are doing to generate
success. He presents practical programs to improve your lactate threshold
and race faster than ever before.
