Activity monitors and fitness measurement equipment
Activity monitors and measurement equipment help you follow training, daily movement and changes in body weight. This category brings together tools for fitness monitoring, including heart rate monitors and chest straps. Check the available products and their specifications to see which measurements they support.
What does activity monitoring include?
Different devices track different aspects of movement and fitness. A heart rate monitor records heart rate to help you assess exercise intensity. A pedometer counts steps, while bathroom scales measure body weight. Some models also provide additional estimates, depending on their functions.
Measuring heart rate during exercise
A heart rate monitor provides information about your heart rate during training. A compatible chest strap can transmit readings to fitness equipment, a sports watch or another receiver. Check whether a transmitter is included or whether the product is only a replacement strap. Explore our heart rate monitors and chest straps for the available models.
Check chest strap compatibility
Not every chest strap works with every receiver. Check the supported transmission technology, such as a specified kHz signal or ANT+, and the compatibility information for both devices. A frequency alone does not establish compatibility with every system. Consult the specifications of your treadmill, cross trainer, rowing machine, exercise bike or watch before buying.
Following daily movement with a pedometer
A pedometer counts steps and can help you keep track of everyday movement. Depending on the model, it may also display distance, active time or estimated calorie expenditure. These functions and how the device is worn vary, so check the product information for the readings you want.
Measuring weight and body composition
Bathroom scales let you follow changes in body weight. Some models also estimate values such as body fat, muscle mass or body water. Treat these as estimates for personal tracking rather than medical measurements or a diagnosis. Check which readings the model actually provides.
Which equipment suits your goal?
Choose according to the information you want to follow. Heart rate monitoring supports tracking exercise intensity; step counting focuses on daily movement. Scales are relevant for body weight and, where supported, body-composition estimates. Compare compatibility, ease of use, display options and supported measurements.
Comparing readings consistently
Follow the device’s instructions and measure under similar conditions where possible. Position and adjust a chest strap as directed. Use scales on the specified surface, usually a hard, level floor, and at a comparable time of day. Individual readings can fluctuate; repeated measurements provide more context than an isolated result.
