Suunto t6 Training Heart-Rate Monitor
The Suunto t6 Heart-Rate Monitor combines a watch unit and heart-rate belt with PC software and is designed for serious amateur and professional athletes, coaches and sports physiologists.
Unlike conventional heart-rate monitors that only measure the heart rate, the Suunto t6 measures the varying times between each heartbeat and uses excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) technology to calculate the body's oxygen consumption.
The Suunto t6 is the official heart-rate monitor of the US Carmichael Training System.
The t6 incorporates a chronometer with stopwatch, lap and interval timer, altimeter, thermometer, barometer as well as heart-rate monitor.
The t6 accurately records how your body performs during exercise, providing laboratory-accurate information about seven body parameters (EPOC, oxygen consumption, energy consumption, respiration rate, heart rate and ventilation) for later analysis on your PC with the Suunto Training Manager. For the first time, training load and personal training effect of a session can be measured, making it possible to optimise aerobic training.
The t6 can be used in gyms or for a team training regime and results of several athletes can be compared.
