They say oxygen is the source of life ,and of course that is correct, (nearly) all metabolism needs oxygen to perform. So we could say: More oxygen = better performance We could have a huge heart, the best muscles for the job and an unlimited supply of fuel. But without the oxygen, and with that the lung capacity to get oxygen to t...

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)
Using a heartrate monitor can give you vital information about your horse, about his general wellbeing, training and fitness levels. In this tutorial, I will discuss different uses for your heartrate monitor using a baseline, understanding zones, Vmax and average heartrates. And of course recovery. I will also tell you about the limitations h...
