Title: Validation of a Wrist Watch Heart Rate Monitor During Aerobic and Strength Training Exercises
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Jennifer Bunn, Exercise Science

This study aimed to assess the accuracy of the Mio Alpha optical wrist watch heart rate (HR) monitor during aerobic and strength exercises. Twelve participants performed a treadmill test and strength training circuit. The study revealed the Mio alpha failed to accurately measure HR during exercise.
