Which heart rate monitor is right for me?
Strapped Strapped monitors provide an automatic, continuous heart rate reading from the chest strap to the wrist monitor. Because of this signal between the two pieces, the reading is more accurate than what is received from a strapless monitor. Strapped monitors can also be synched to certain software for in-depth tracking and analysis. Strapless Strapless monitors are more comfortable and easier to use as they eliminate the hassle of wearing and properly positioning a chest strap. Users simply place two fingers on the sensor buttons on the face of the watch to receive a current heart rate reading. Some models have one-touch, single-button sensing. Strapless monitors are also more sanitary since there's no need to share straps that must be moistened with water or gel.

Why should I incorporate heart rate monitors into my class?
Heart rate monitors (HRMs) provide an objective way of:
Key Features/Functions of HRMs: Average Heart Rate The average number of heartbeats per minute measured over a specific time period. Max Heart Rate The highest recorded heart rate for a given period of time. Percent of Max Heart Rate Calculates percent range of maximum heart rate based on either actual maximum heart rate or age-predicted heart rate. Recovery Heart Rate The time it takes and at what heart rate you drop to between or after bouts of activity. Target Zones The optimal heart rate achieved during exercise, with an alarm that warns if the high or low limits are exceeded. Time in Target Zone Exercise Time spent between high and low limits. Total Exercise Time Cumulative time spent exercising since last reset. Calorie Counter Calculates number of calories expended during exercise. Data Transfer Transfer of recorded heart rate info to software program for analysis and retrieval. File Storage Maximum number of personal exercise files the monitor can store. |
Product Details
High/Low Target Zone AlarmThe perfect personal trainer, the Ekho™ E-15 heart rate monitor alerts you if you are working in, above or below your target heart rate, assuring the most effective cardiovascular workout and maximizing your caloric burn.
User-Replaceable Batteries
Ekho™ monitors only require an inexpensive battery to keep the transmitter or watch receiver running. Other brands require you to return your units back to them to change the battery; expensive and time-consuming repairs that often sideline monitors for weeks.
Calorie-Counting Feature
Weight affects the way students look, feel, interact socially, and perform academically. Teaching students what it takes to burn off calories to control weight will help them manage weight more effectively and make physical activities more meaningful. Lesson plans designed around burning calories get all students involved, even those who are overweight.
Comfortable Fit
Ekho™ calorie-counting monitors were voted "Most Comfortable" by editors of Prevention Magazine. Ekho™ monitors are designed for comfort, no matter what the student's age or gender.
"As the physical education teacher at Erin School, I am always looking for new and exciting ways to teach my students, especially in the area of physical fitness. Incorporating technology and meeting all the state standards is not always easy to accomplish, given the time and budget restraints.
An exciting tool that has helped to provide an exemplary physical education program for my eighth-grade students is heart rate monitors. They can be used to teach, motivate and inspire students to develop the fitness habits necessary to live healthy lives.
As I began searching for heart rate monitors, I found there were a variety to choose from and many features to consider. After much research, I found the Ekho™ E-15 to be the best heart rate monitor for the price. It offered all the features of the name brand at a much more "school budget" price. I have been using them for two years and have been very impressed.
The students have found them very user-friendly and fun to use. The E-15 offers many features that can be valuable for a variety of teaching lessons. The time in target heart rate zone, stopwatch, and easy-to-read heart rate watch, among many other features, make this heart rate monitor a great addition to any middle school or high school physical education class.
I would highly recommend the Ekho™ E-15 heart rate monitor for any school that is looking for an inspiring tool to help meet physical education standards, and even more important, to develop student passion for fitness."
