At Victory Treadmills Australia we understand the importance of monitoring heart rate as a tool for successful high performance equine training. Collaborating with horse trainers was the best pathway for VTA to deliver what was needed for the industry, consequently we are proud to offer, standard with the Victory V8 treadmill, an Operation Monitor that can connect any heartrate device with Bluetooth capabilities. The real time heartrate can then be displayed on a large screen mounted to the machine.

 

The Operation Monitor also offers the quick buttons for gait ie: WALK, TROT, CANTER, PACEWORK and GALLOP. The normal and fast acceleration and deceleration buttons are also available insuring fast and simple control for manual training. These functions are coupled with displays for speed and incline showing actual speed/incline  and targeted speed/incline. 

 

A handy stop watch is also a feature of this Operation Monitor not just delivering time but distance as well.

 

Finally, graphic screens offer live training results and historic data for up to a 24 hours, providing accurate data comparison for heart rate, speed and incline. This provides trainers with highly accurate information such as the rate of heart rate decrease after a workout. We believe that providing analytical information to trainers is key tool in fine tuning training regimes to improve horse training and performance.

 

Cross referencing heart rate with not only speed but elevation offers trainers with a unique opportunity to fine tune a horses training.
