Question
Sir,
I'm working on a device which measures the pulse rate of individuals on a continuous basis.I would like to know from you about the analysis which can be made from the data thus obtained.I wish to actually monitor the performance of athletes continuously and suggest remedies for performance improvement through the above mentioned analysis.
I would be measuring the normal pulse rate(PR),resting PR,Max PR,Recovery PR,etc.What are the possible analysis which can be done using this data?

Answer
Dear Thanigasalam,

Thank you for writing.

I'm not certain if you are asking me if this type of monitoring would be of value in my field of expertise, though I can tell you it does not seem to fit into any valid analytical framework pertinent to the professional objective or area of focus.


Sincerely,
James W. Healey, DC
