iSMARTtrain V2.0.1, Polar Heart Rate Software for Macintosh
12th May 2005. OTAG Technologies announce the release of iSMARTtrain version 2.0.1, the latest update to their Macintosh OS X application for downloading from Polar heart rate monitors and tracking & analysing sports training.
(PRWEB) May 12, 2005 -- OTAG Technologies announce the release of iSMARTtrain
version 2.0.1, the latest update to their Macintosh OS X application for
downloading from Polar heart rate monitors and tracking & analysing sports
training.
The latest release contains many bug-fixes and several new
features, including a summary of the weekly training, showing distance, calories
burned and a summary of the HR zones.
The software is designed to allow
multi-sport and single sport endurance athletes, for example triathletes,
duathletes, runners and cyclists, to download training data, such as heart rate,
cadence, speed and power, from Polar heart rate monitors and analyse it in
graph, table and list formats. Information about training sessions, for example
duration, distance and speed can also be similarly reviewed.
Any number
of different sports can be quickly and easily tracked, using either metric or
imperial units for each sport. Commonly used routes and sessions can be stored
and quickly recalled. Total times, distances and number of sessions can be
viewed per week, month or year. Equipment usage and user-defined keywords, such
as weight and energy expended, can also be tracked.
Cyclists can analyse
power and left-right balance from the Polar power sensor data, whilst runners
can see run speed and distance data from the S625X model. The latest iSMARTtrain
release now includes weekly totals for training time, calories expended, time
spent in either 3 or 5 HR zones and easy to read visual bar
graphs.
Development work on the software has been carried out in
conjunction with leading sports scientist, coach and writer Joe Beer (http://www.jbst.com). Joe has
provided valuable input to the software, both from a scientific and coaching
aspect. Future releases will continue to benefit from his knowledge and
experience, including the use of Training Impulse (TRIMP), artificial coaching
intelligence and nutrition planning.
A demo version, limited to 20
entries can be downloaded from http://www.ismarttrain.com. The full version costs $40.00. It
can be purchased either from within the application using eSellerate’s
technology, or on OTAG Technologies’ website. This release is a free upgrade to
existing customers.
A Windows version is also available and a Linux
version is currently in development.
