The invention relates to a heart rate monitor. The essential point of the invention is that a display element () of a display () of the heart rate monitor for displaying a settable minimum limit for a heart rate level is located at a first end () of a display element unit () controlled according to the heart rate level, on the same side of the display as the first end of the display element unit. Similarly, a display element () for displaying a settable maximum limit for a heart rate level is located at a second end () of the display element unit (), on the same side of the display as the second end of the display element unit.

Heart rate monitor

The invention relates to a method and system for measuring heartbeat rate using telemetric data transmission. In the method, a heartbeat rate signal is measured from the object to be measured by using a telemetric transmitter unit which detects the signals. The heartbeat data is transmitted by inductive coupling to a telemetric receiver unit, and stored in a memory means within the receiver unit, and transferred by inductive coupling from the receiver unit to a data transfer unit, and transferred from the data transfer unit to a data processing unit. According to the invention, telemetric data transfer is also carried out from the data transfer unit to the receiver unit, and that data transfer in this direction is carried out by supplying one or more setting parameters from the data processing unit prior to the actual heartbeat measurement. These parameters are transferred via the data transfer unit to the receiver unit by inductive coupling between the data transfer unit and the receiver unit.
