CEEFIT Pulse & ECG or using the potential of Seaver tools to maximum effect.
It's now been 2 months since the release of our second generation of sensors. After our first article presenting CEEFIT by Seaver, it's now time to unveil CEEFIT PULSE & ECG.
Our goals of enabling riders to monitor the health and maximize the performance of their horses cannot be fully achieved without CEEFIT Pulse & ECG. CEEFIT Pulse & ECG.
CEEFIT Pulse & ECG is a heart rate monitor for horses. It accurately measures your horse's heart rate, both during exercise and at rest. Theeffectiveness of this tool has been scientifically validated by independent researchers at the University of Dijon.
The CEEFIT Pulse & ECG can be used on all types of straps thanks to its elastic attachments.
It's a heart rate belt with two electrodes, one of which is placed near the withers and the other under the strap. The latter can only be used with the CEEFIT sensor, which clips on and off in a single movement. To save time, CEEFIT Pulse & ECG can remain attached to your strap. Only the CEEFIT sensor needs to be removed for charging. This new tool saves you time, is easy to use and ensures your horse's comfort.
Horses are athletes. Its heart reveals a great deal about theintensity of training or its state of fitness. Studying the heart rate will enable you toadapt the workload andoptimize the horse'sphysical preparation. What's more, this study enables you to obtain a consequent number of functionalities and, consequently, ever more precise and accomplished health and performance monitoring.
Edward Levy, show jumping rider and member of the French team, uses a heart rate monitor to ensure his horses are properly prepared.
Since CEEFIT Pulse & ECG can't be used without CEEFIT, you benefit from the features and data described in the article "CEEFIT, the essential new tool from Seaver".
The addition of CEEFIT Pulse & ECG will open up a whole new dimension in understanding your horse, the work he's doing and his health.
Seaver technology for a stronger rider-rider relationship.
The heart rate belt offers you features features:
Cardio in 5 effort zones:
You'll get your horse's cardio in 5 effort zones based on FCMAX:
Très légère < 132
Light 132 - 154
Moderate 154 - 176
Strong 176 - 198
Maximum > 198
The average FCMax is around 220 bpm. However, you can personalize your FCMax with the help of a professional in your horse's profile. In this way, you'll get tailor-made effort zones. You'll know the time spent in each zone and therefore the difficulty and intensity of the work required.
Heart rate:
Seaver also gives you the average and maximum heart rate for your session in bpm. You can also consult the average heart rate by pace, and a detailed graph showing its evolution over the course of your session. You also have a "fusion" graph, combining paces and heart rate variation.
Analyze changes in heart rate as a function of pace during your session.
Calories burned:
This feature enables you to determine theenergy expended by your horse. This gives you the total value in kcal, which provides information on thetotal effort expended and theintensity of work in kcal/min. You'll also find a graph showing the evolution of your horse's instantaneous energy expenditure.
Heart rate varies with effort and stress. Cross-reference our parameters for an in-depth analysis.
These are the three main features available with the purchase of CEEFIT and CEEFIT Pulse & ECG, but that's not all!
Your Seaver data in real time on your connected watch.
Seaver has also developed an application for connected watches. From now on, you can obtain your cardio and effort zones in real time on your watch. So, with just one glance at your wrist, you'll know how your horse is coping with or recovering from the current effort, for example.
If you have CEEFIT and CEEFIT PULSE & ECG and subscribe to theSANTE+ subscription, you'll be able to use features that are unique on the market.
ECG or electrocardiogram and resting heart rate:
Our CEEFIT Pulse & ECG takes its name from this feature, previously only available to vets.
With Seaver, you can perform electrocardiograms and obtain theelectrical activity of your horse'sheart. For example, you can detect common pathologies such as arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation. What's more, you can share your ECGs with your veterinarian to establish a pre-diagnosis without having to travel. You can also obtain your horse's resting heart rate, an important piece of data to compare in the event of a health problem.
An electrocardiogram should be carried out in the morning before any training, in a familiar and soothing environment for your horse.
Fitness Shape Test:
In collaboration with Véronique Billat, Seaver has developed a fitness test. You'll get an overall score and a web graph indicating your horse's strengths and weaknesses. By taking this test, you'll be able to observe the progress or decline in performance of the following measures: cardio, recovery, as well as strength, efficiency and biomechanics. It will soon be available on the Seaver app.
Stress assessment :
Based on sudden variations in heart rate, Seaver assigns a stress score out of 100. Stress in horses can mean real discomfort. Naturally, riders seek relaxation and serenity. They can then understand which actions or exercises, for example, cause stress peaks in their equine.
Stress in horses can also be caused by the rider's actions, and you'll find a detailed graph in your application to analyze your impact.
Recovery time :
After an effort, heart rate can take some time to return to standard data. When your horse exceeds 150 bpm for 30 seconds, Seaver gives you the time it takes to return to a bpm of 64. This is a highly revealing parameter of your horse'sphysiological efficiency.
Seaver helps you understand how your horse recovers from effort.
V140/ V200 performance:
Seaver also helps you analyze theeffectiveness of your horse's cardiotraining. Progress is easily measurable, as these tools allow you to see your horse's speed at 140bpm and 200bpm. After a season of cardio training, you'll be able to obtain higher speeds for the given bpm.
First of all, you need to assemble your CEEFIT Pulse & ECG heart rate belt, your charged CEEFIT sensor, your attachments and your bottle of neutral gel. You'll also find our tutorial on how to charge your CEEFIT.
Then clip your CEEFIT into your CEEFIT PULSE & ECG, making surethe blue lines are aligned. If your CEEFIT is properly clipped in, it will emit a blue light.
Once you've closed the Velcro tab for a secure fit, get your fasteners. Then fasten them to your strap, making sure to tighten them and center your Seaver equipment. If you don't fasten your CEEFIT PULSE & ECG properly, you run the risk of obtaining spurious movements and therefore erroneous data.
The next step is to apply gel or water to the electrodes (and the horse's hair at the electrode site if you're using water). You can then place the offset electrode under the rug on the left, below the withers. Strap your horse securely and then launch the application, which will detect your Pulse and enable you to take full advantage of all its functions.
