wod-science | Heart Rate is NOT Ideal for Measuring Intensity in CrossFit - Here is WHY! @wod-science | Uploaded 5 months ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Heart rate monitors are the simplest, cheapest and arguably the most reliable tool to measure intensity during endurance exercise.

But functional movements under very high intensity are different.

In this video I will do a small experiment to show that heart rate is a suboptimal, even an ineffective method to measure workout intensity, depending on which movement the athlete is doing. I will demonstrate better methods to check hybrid training intensity with the latest wearable tech.
