Heart rate and cold weather
Hi all, this morning was my first relatively cold morning ride with my Polar
Heart Rate Monitor. I noticed that my heart rate was a little higher than normal. Is this due to the cold weather ? Thanks for any feedback. |

Running or cycling in 35 degrees has my heart rate about 10 beats up on normal. Dave B. |

Re: Heart rate and cold weather
Fight or flight response, your body is reacting to the threat of cold. Followed by increased mucus production to protect the capiliaries in your lungs and decreased blood circulation to extremities. all this while your head is saying go harder, i need oxygen for exercise. I've reviewed my P-HRM files and yes temps well below 17 degrees show higher reading, or it might just be I'm riding harder to keep warm.... <BG> MJ Massage therapist "Neil Watson" <nw45@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:4093233a$1@dnews.tpgi.com.au... > Hi all, this morning was my first relatively cold morning ride with my Polar > Heart Rate Monitor. > > I noticed that my heart rate was a little higher than normal. > Is this due to the cold weather ? > > Thanks for any feedback. > > |
