Using a heart rate monitor (HRM) for fitness development:
  1. Should only be done by advanced trainers.
  2. Is helpful because heart rate is a good indication of the level of effort in a workout.
  3. Must be done by all participants.
  4. Is unsuitable for spinning classes.
Explanation
Answer: B- Using a heart rate monitor for fitness development is helpful because heart rate is a good indication of the level of effort in a workout. Many spin bikes are equipped with heart rate monitor receivers that can pick up signals from a participant’s chest belt. Participants using an HRM can monitor their level of effort at any stage of the workout. As fitness develops, participants will be able to maintain similar levels of effort at a lower heart rate, and will also be able to withstand progressively greater intensity.
