Title: Accuracy Assessment of Two Appendage-Worn Heart Rate Monitors During Aerobic and Strength Training Exercises
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Jennifer Bunn, Exercise Science

The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of two appendage-worn heart rate monitors (Scosche) during aerobic and strength training exercises. Both Scoshe devices underestimated the heart rate, but the wrist placement showed more inaccuracies because of displacement of the optical sensor during upper-extremity activity.
