Heart rate monitoring mobile applications are in abundance in online app markets these days. But, people lack knowledge about which one to choose and for what purpose? Heart rate is defined as the number of times per minute a heart beats. In each heartbeat, the heart expands and contracts to receive and send blood from and to lungs and body. The maximum heart rate (the fastest a heart can beat in 1 minute) is linked to a person’s age. According to American College of Exercisers, heart rate can be calculated by 208 − (0.7 × age).
