This is the follow up webinar to the "Understanding the use of a heartrate monitor" Webinar, both are fine as stand alone, but are very much part of each other if you really want to know about how to really make the best of riding with a heartrate monitor. The first was all about the different monitors available, what it can measure and some theory about physiology of the horse.
In this webinar we are going to use the monitor, working with baselines, the effect increased intensity of work has and how to work with training phases and perhaps if at all needed, with some interval work.

I specifically address how hill work can create it's own low speed high intensity work and how you can combine that to high intensity work on the flat (which is what all apps and monitors are really designed for). I have used my own horses for a few case studies to make it really understandable.

Have a look!

I have done 2 webinars about heartrate monitors (I had to: too much to tell you and both are still long ;) ) Both are fine as stand alone, but are very much part of each other if you really want to know about how to really make the best of riding with a heartrate monitor. This is the first, about different ways to measure heartrate, which systems are available (at the moment of recording, end of 2022), combining systems if you want more.

I also discuss individual range of heartrate, maximum heartrate, VO2max and the training zones often given by apps. To really understand how a heartrate monitor can be useful in training for endurance it is good to know what the aerobic threshold is (and the anaerobic threshold) and what happens within the horse when these are reached. The last thing i discuss is monitoring your horse's fitness levels by using (standardised) fitness tests.

Have a look (and remember, you can watch as many times you like within your subscription period)
