Over exertion can cause serious injury, including heart attacks.
Some individuals cannot safely elevate their heart rate to the levels
of typically used heart rate training zones. No one should begin
an exercise program without first obtaining medical clearance,
especially if there is a personal or family history of heart disease,
high blood pressure, or if you are over age 40, have diabetes, high
cholesterol, smoke cigarettes, are overweight or are taking certain
medications. Stop exercising and seek medical attention if you
notice signs of overexertion or heart problems, such as pain or
pressure in the left or mid-chest area or left neck, shoulder or arm,
high-headedness, cold sweat, unusual paleness or fainting. Also
note that the signals used by this monitor may interfere with a
pacemaker or other implanted devices, consult the manufacturer
of the implant device and/or your physician prior to using this monitor.
