Title: Evaluation of an Earbud Heart Rate Monitor During Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Jennifer Bunn, Exercise Science

The purpose of this study was to validate the accuracy of an iRiverOn heart rate (HR) monitor during various exercise intensities and resistance exercise. The iRiverOn underestimated the HR by 15.4 bpm. Inconsistency with HR measurement was due to the earbuds falling out during the vigorous-intensity exercise.
