Monitor Your Health: Garmin and Tigeni

With heart rate monitor from Garmin and home tests from Tigeni You can easily monitor your health. Heart rate monitors and home tests monitor different values, and together they provide a clearer picture. A heart rate monitor is invaluable for measuring progression during exercise. 

Along with home tests from Tigeni You can see how exercise affects vital values in the blood. This is useful if, for example, you have high cholesterol or high HbA1c levels (risk of diabetes). The combination of your blood tests and heart rate data gives you good insight for measures towards better health.

Measure progression in training with Garmin

With a heart rate monitor from Garmin, it becomes easy to measure progression during training. Health data from vívosmart® 4 from Garmin or other portable activity trackers is synchronized with the results from Tigeni's self-tests. You can follow your training in Tigeni app or in a web browser. This is how you get an overview of how you have improved recently - whether you want to run, cycle or walk faster or longer.

How to measure progression with a Garmin heart rate monitor

The heart rate monitor measures heart rate, of course - both during training and otherwise. It also measures steps and distance via GPS. After a workout, you can easily see how far you have run, how many steps you have taken, what heart rate zones you were in during training and how many calories you have burned. 

With Tigeni's self-tests, you can see how much you have improved in a month, half a year or since last year. If you have trained properly, combined with a self-test you will see the progression in a larger picture. When heart rate data is seen in the context of vital values in the blood, you gain greater insight into how exercise affects overall health - not just fitness.

How to use a heart rate monitor during exercise

‍
You can also use your heart rate monitor during exercise to train properly. Among other things, you should avoid taking in too much - especially if you have recently started exercising. It is therefore a good idea to follow so that you do not increase too much from week to week. 

Of course, it is also important to listen to the body, but the adrenaline during training can mean that you do not notice injuries until the session is over and the heart rate has dropped. Here it is wise with both heart rate monitor and GPS. 

‍

Heart rate monitor and heart rate zones

The heart rate monitor can show you which "heart rate zone" you are in. The zones are based on a percentage of your maximum heart rate. For training towards half marathons and the like, it is not recommended to train too much in high heart rate zones. If you run in heart rate zone 5 - that is, close to your maximum heart rate - you usually do not last longer than a few minutes. This is not suitable for longer distances, but can be good training for sprints, 800 meters and the like. 

‍

GPS and length

The GPS in the watch measures how far you run. This is also important to measure if you are going to run a marathon or similar. In training for such races, patience is the key. Too rapid an increase in load can lead to injuries (source: Skadefri.no ).

See what effect exercise has on illness or blood levels

With our products you can test different blood values at home. Such a test can be useful if you suspect diabetes or high cholesterol - either for symptoms or family risk. Diabetes and high cholesterol have hereditary factors, but are especially linked to lifestyle. 

‍

Therefore, you should measure your blood levels

For example, you can inherit predisposition to diabetes and type 2 diabetes, but a healthy diet and physical activity can prevent you from developing type 2 diabetes. Therefore, it is important to measure blood levels that show you are at risk for diabetes - especially if someone in the family have diabetes, you have symptoms, previous tests say you are at risk or you are overweight. Type 2 diabetes is especially linked to obesity (source: HelseNorge ).

Because of this relationship between heredity and lifestyle, type 2 diabetes can be prevented or treated through exercise. Physical activity and a healthy diet can lead to weight loss. Furthermore, this can affect the values in the blood that measure diabetes. 

With Tigeni you can measure the long-term blood sugar - also called HbA1c level - in the blood. By lowering this, you can prevent diabetes from developing, or reduce the symptoms if you already have diabetes. With heart rate monitor from Garmin and self-test from Tigeni You can see the effect of exercise on diabetes and your HbA1c levels.
