HOW RELAXED/RECOVERED DO YOU FEEL NOW? When and how intense should your next workout be? You don't know? We do... MEASURE YOURSELF INTO TOP SHAPE! The revolutionary Vitalmonitor measurement and monitoring system measures your current physical status, the regeneration status and enables you new approaches of training control. Everywhere, everytime. Fast, precise and non-invasive. Pulse7 is the world's first manufacturer of its patented software and chest strap to measure both the personal regeneration status and the phase of supercompensation and is able to depict them graphically. This innovation will revolutionize the sports world and the coach! The Vitalmonitor measurement and monitoring system is the result of years of research in high-performance and recreational sports with a team of sports scientists, coaches, cardiologists, software and hardware engineers. In addition, based on Pulse7 numerous studies of heart rate variability and ECG. For this purpose, specially a small and light 500Hz 1-channel ECG chest strap was developed - and a large, completely new software for smartphones, tablets and PCs. STRENGTH LIES IN CALMNESS. Measure your personal regeneration status! The Vitalmonitor regeneration measurement informs you when your body is ready for the next training. You are informed anytime and anywhere about your individual regeneration status. So, you have really meaningful data about your physical status whereby you can control your training. For example to avoid counterproductive overtraining. UNLEASH YOUR POWER! Exercise with Vitalmonitor utilising the principle of supercompensation! After a load of the body, it increases its efficiency over the output level. This „more balance“ you can only realize, if you give it enough time to recover. In this case, the body is in a kind of overreaction, replenishes its energy reserves at a higher level than before the load. There is an ideal time slot for the next training stimulus, which Vitalmonitor shows you precisely. You are able to exercise more efficiently. TRAIN RIGHT, AT THE RIGHT TIME. Control your workout based on your individual data analysis! The Vitalmonitor measurement and monitoring system measures a variety of values. For example the regeneration status, the stress factor, ECG data, the heart rate variability and so on. Our intelligent software on your device automatically transfers all your data to our high performance servers. There, your data will be evaluated and sent within seconds in the form of meaningful charts to your smartphone/tablet or your laptop/PC. You will always know when and in what intensity your next training stimulus is recommended. The risk of overtraining is banned. STAY IN BALANCE! Do not give performance reducing stress a chance. Stress prevents your body from swift regeneration. The result is stagnation of performance development or even overtraining. In fact, there is a high probability that you are affected by such problems. Because stress is everywhere in daily life and it’s the result of many factors, such as lack of sleep or time. The Vitalmonitor measurement and monitoring system informs you about your current stress status. Thus, it provides all informations to diagnose and prevent overloading prophylactically. ALL DATA AT A GLANCE Develop yourself in the right direction! The Vitalmonitor measure and monitoring system provides you with a graphical evaluation board on the screen, a number of meaningful values of the current (regeneration) status of the body. The software implements the values in a time course, derived from the long-and short-term trends. In the trainer version, the Vitalmonitor measurement and monitoring system is an ideal communication tool between the athlete and the supervising coach or performance assesor.

Die Spikee App ermöglicht es dir HRV-Kurzzeitmessungen einfach und ohne teure Geräte zu erstellen. Für die Messung wird lediglich ein bluetooth-fähiger Brustgurt benötigt, der für eine HRV-Messung geeignet ist. Beispielsweise Polar H7, H9, H10 oder Garmin HRM-Pro. In Verbindung mit einem Spikee Account, lassen sich die HRV-Kurzzeitmessungen unter spikee.de analysieren. Warum Spikee? Viele Sportler bestimmten die Belastungsintensität Ihres Trainings über die Messung der Herzfrequenz. Die Messung und Planung der Erholung wird jedoch meist vernachlässigt. Spikee ermittelt aus den Daten von Herzfrequenzmessgeräten die Herzratenvariabilität (HRV). Mit Hilfe der HRV-Analyse von Spikee kannst du deine Trainingsintensität auf deine tagesaktuelle Fitness anpassen und deine Erholungsphasen bewusst planen. So vermeidest du Leistungseinbrüche und Verletzungen und steigerst die Effektivität deines Trainings. Was ist HRV? Selbst bei einem konstanten Puls ist die Dauer zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Herzschlägen (RR-Intervall) nicht konstant. Eine HRV-Analyse untersucht, wie stark die aufeinanderfolgenden RR-Intervalle variieren. Bestimmte Parameter zeigen dabei den Erholungsgrad, andere die aktuelle Fitness. Diese HRV-Parameter fallen aber von Person zu Person sehr unterschiedlich aus. Während herkömmliche Analysentools sich an pauschalen Durchschnittswerten orientieren, berechnet Spikee mit modernen Verfahren der künstlichen Intelligenz aus deinen HRV-Messungen individuelle Vergleichsmodelle. So kannst du deine Trainings- und Erholungsphasen noch besser auf deine persönlichen Ziele und körperlichen Voraussetzungen ausrichten.
