The Polar OH1 is an optical heart rate (HR) sensor which can be used on different parts of the body. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the validity of the OH1 as well as a wrist worn heart rate device (Polar M600) during swimming.
Twenty-six well-trained competitive swimmers performed a regular training session including different swimming intensities. During the training the swimmers wore a H10 HR sensor with Polar Pro strap (H10) underneath the swim suit, a Polar OH1 optical HR sensor (OH1) underneath the swimming cap at the temple, and a sports watch with optical HR sensor, Polar M600 smart watch (M600) on the wrist.
No difference in HRmax, HRmean and HRmin between H10 and OH1 were evident. The HRmax and HRmean obtained by the M600 was significantly lower than the obtained by H10 and OH1 (p < 0.05). The ICC showed mostly excellent agreements between H10 and OH1 and poor to good agreements between H10 and M600. Bland-Altmann plot for M600 vs. H10 indicates upper and lower limits of agreement of -53.0 to 33.9 beats per minute. For OH1 vs. H10 the upper and lower limits of agreement were -26.9 to 24.7 beats per minute.
The Polar OH1 optical HR sensor is a valid tool to monitor HR of different intensities during swimming whereas the Polar M600 smart watch as a wrist worn device is less accurate.
PolarOH1 是一种光学心率(HR)传感器,可用于身体的不同部位。本研究的目的是评估 OH1 在游泳过程中的有效性,以及腕戴心率设备(PolarM600)的有效性。
26 名训练有素的竞技游泳运动员进行了常规训练,包括不同的游泳强度。在训练过程中,游泳者穿着泳装下的 H10 HR 传感器(带 PolarPro 表带)、泳帽下太阳穴处的 PolarOH1 光学 HR 传感器(OH1)和腕戴光学 HR 传感器的运动手表,即 PolarM600 智能手表(M600)。
H10 和 OH1 之间的 HRmax、HRmean 和 HRmin 没有差异。M600 获得的 HRmax 和 HRmean 明显低于 H10 和 OH1(p<0.05)。ICC 显示 H10 和 OH1 之间的一致性非常好,而 H10 和 M600 之间的一致性为差到好。M600 与 H10 的 Bland-Altman 图表明,一致性的上下限为-53.0 至 33.9 次/分钟。OH1 与 H10 的一致性上下限为-26.9 至 24.7 次/分钟。
PolarOH1 光学 HR 传感器是一种在游泳时监测不同强度 HR 的有效工具,而作为腕戴设备的 PolarM600 智能手表则不太准确。
