Both of my HR monitors (a Polar CR 100 and a Suunto X3) frequently
deliver false maximum rate numbers in the low to middle 200s. The
Polar manual concedes the possibilty of erratic or extremely high
readings, attributing them to interference from high voltage power
lines, traffic lights, and even car motors. It seems to me, however,
that the high numbers register during fast descents, and that the
monitor may actually be measuring the rate at which my jersey flaps in
the wind. By the way, I have checked my true heart rate and it does
not correspond to the readings on the monitor. Any comments?
