Heartbeats

Description

This data field displays the total number of beats your heart has performed since the start of your current activity. Obviously this requires some kind of heart rate sensor (strap or optical).</p><p></p><p>If your device loses its connectivity to the HR sensor during an activity, the counter will continue to increase using the last measured heart rate.</p><p></p><p>The idea for this data field has evolved from a problem contained in a maths exam: A heart rate curve (time vs. heart rate) from a training run was given, and the candidate should calculate the area below this curve and interpret its meaning. That would be the total number of heart beats during the run.</p>
