iSMARTtrain V2.0.1, Polar Heart Rate Software for Windows

12th May 2005. OTAG Technologies announce the release of iSMARTtrain version 2.0.1, the first release of their Windows 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 first release of their Windows application for downloading from Polar heart rate monitors and tracking & analysing sports training.

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 ESD technology, or on OTAG Technologies’ website.

A Macinotsh version is also available and a Linux version is currently in development.
