Here are only a few major ones:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Improved Metabolism<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swimming impacts our body in a way which helps in the betterment of the metabolism rate. This, in turn, leads to weight reduction and utilizing the nutrients to provide energy to the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Production of Good Hormones<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no doubt about the fact that swimming is a fun activity which boosts the production of those hormones which make you happy. This kind of exercise helps in giving you a more positive outlook on the world turning your personality into an optimistic one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Enhanced Heart Health<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your heart works exactly like other muscles of your body because it is strengthened with regular exercises. Your heart\u2019s functionality will be enhanced manifolds with the help of swimming.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Gaining Familiarity with Human Heart Rate<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your heart rate is never stable as it will increase or decrease depending on the body\u2019s oxygen requirements. It works to maintain an equilibrium between the body\u2019s need for oxygen and the quantity which is delivered to it. Usually, a human heart beats around 3.5 billion times in an average lifespan. These metrics will help in understanding the heart rate better. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Resting Heart Rate<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a person is in a completely resting environment and is not undergoing any stimulation or rigorous activity then his heart rate is defined as resting or basal. This also includes that there is no shock or surprise element in the present situation. A typical heart rate during this period is 60-100 beats per minute for normal people. Elite athletes can have a heart rate between 33 and 50 beats per minute.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Target Heart Rate<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The target heart rate is the ideal heart rate of a normal person who is undergoing some strenuous activity. This particular heart rate enables the person to receive the most rewards during the training session and has a very positive effect on the health of the lungs and the heart. It is determined mostly by age but a number of factors including sex, previous training, and physical condition are also involved in the calculation method. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swimmers need to be aware of the fact that \u00a0their target heart rate is lower in water because of the cooling effect, buoyancy of the water and horizontal position while swimming. The University of Maryland Medical Center reports that swimmers\u2019 target heart rates can be 12 beats per minute fewer than those who exercise on land.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This heart rate is the maximum which a person can achieve while working out given the fact that he is completely healthy. It tends to decrease with age and can be determined with a very widely used formula which is<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HR<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">max<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> = 220 \u2013 age<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cardiac test is highly recommended method to determine it where a person is subjected to controlled physiological stress while being monitored by ECG. When someone is planning out on a rigorous physical activity, it is always better to carry out this test in the presence of a few experts. This will help in getting knowledge about any of the potential risks involved in the activity. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Understanding the Heart Rate Zones<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the help of heart rate monitors, one can easily gain familiarity with the magnitude of effort one is putting in any physical activity and how it is affecting the heart rate. Following are the different workout intensities which provide an insight on different heart zones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Moderate to Easy Swimming (50 \u2013 60% of MHR)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This zone is ideal for people who already have some health issues and imparting more effort will result in deterioration of their health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Fitness Swimming (60 \u2013 70 % of MHR)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fat levels of the body are reduced with this making this the ideal heart rate zone to lose weight and improve the health of your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Aerobic Swimming (70 \u2013 80 % of MHR)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For experienced athletes, this one is ideal because it helps in improving the endurance and strength of the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Anaerobic Threshold Swimming (80 \u2013 90 % of MHR)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This zone tends to improve the working of the cardiovascular system and increases the lactate tolerance which means that you will be able to fight fatigue better.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Red Zone (90 \u2013 100 % of MHR)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that this one should be performed in short bursts and is only recommended for highly experienced professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Importance of Using a Heart Rate Tracker<\/b><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_58727\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58727\" data-attachment-id=\"58727\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/body-posture-and-force-are-the-focus-of-this-workout-of-the-week\/swimming-arena-grand-prix-prelims-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/USATSI_7963840-e1462373095557.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1185,877\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Robert Stanton&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS-1D X&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Jun 21, 2014; Santa Clara, CA, USA; Start of heat two of the Women&#039;s 50M Freestyle during the preliminary heats at George F.

Currently, there are a number of heart rate trackers available in the market and we find that most of that are wrist wears. These kind of trackers suit perfectly the cyclists and the runners but are not at all ideal for the swimmers. While swimming, it is inconvenient and almost impossible to monitor the heart rate with the wrist wears: wrist is on the move while goggles could be misty. Therefore, something more practical is needed for this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent research, done by interviewing professional swimmers and swimming coaches showed that the most practical heart rate monitor device is eyewear that displays color-coded information in swimming goggles in real time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ovao.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ovao<\/a><\/span> is a company that is currently in the last stages of developing the heart rate monitor and personal heart rate trainer for swimmers. <strong>Aldas Juronis<\/strong>, CEO of Ovao advises that this device will help significantly improve swimming performance by guiding throughout a workout and indicating when to increase or decrease swimming intensity according to a pre-set heart rate training program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>All swimming and dryland training and instruction should be performed under the supervision of a qualified coach or instructor, and in circumstances that ensure the safety of participants.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commentary courtesy of Vilius Stanislovaitis.
