“…A commonly used application for HR models is control of HR on a treadmill (Mazenc et al, 2010 ; Nguyen et al, 2011 ; Pătraşcu et al, 2014 ; Hunt and Fankhauser, 2016 ; Hunt and Liu, 2017 ), on a bicycle ergometer (Mohammad et al, 2012 ; Paradiso et al, 2013 ; Argha et al, 2014 , 2015a , b ; Leitner et al, 2014 ), for gait training (Koenig et al, 2011 ) or to control strain in exergames (Sinclair et al, 2009 ). Even apart from strain or stress control, use of HR models is conceivable for many other areas like training planning (Brzostowski et al, 2013 ; Schäfer et al, 2015 ), generating individualized training zones based on past training sessions, keeping track of performance development and adjustment of HR training zones, potentially enhancing accuracy by predicting the HR after a model is individualized and adjust the displayed HR according to measurement and model prediction, compensate missing or incorrectly detected HR values [see Jang et al ( 2016 )], and more.…”
