I have this article from the Univ of Tenn, published by the American College of Sports Medicine. It disputes the accuracy of Polar calorie measurement for women. If someone (Nanci?) would like to read it and give us the English language Cliff Notes version, it would be nice. The current versions of Polar use the same methodology (I know there is a better word but I've gone blank).
I just need an email address.

I'd like to see that article. I'll PM you my email address.
Interestingly, I just saw a catalog in the mail (I can't remember if it was REI or MountainGear or ?) that was advertising a WSD Polar, saying it was the "first ever HRM designed for women".
ETA: It's the Polar F4. I wonder if they're using a different algorithm.

today's vocabulary lesson
"algorithm" - there's the word I wanted but could only come up with arrhythmia. Apparently, Polar has an arryhthmia in their standard HRM algorithm.

I'm working on the Clif Notes version right now. Though, I think I'll start a new thread on it so it doesn't get lost in this thread. I have long wondered about the accuracy of Polar's OwnCal, it's nice to actually see some primary scientific literature on this.
