dc.description.abstractIt is generally accepted that a linear relationship exists between heart rate/ workload and oxygen consumption and that heart rate thus accurately reflects workload and exercise intensity. As such, coaches and athletes commonly use heart rate to prescribe exercise and monitor changes in training status. Some studies have however, indicates that heart rate may not always be an accurate indicator of training status under all conditions, due to the possible influence of other variables. However, as measuring heart rate has been shown to be a reliable, accurate, inexpensive and practical method to monitor changes in training status, the purpose of this study was therefore to further explore ans clarify the heart/ workload relationship under a variety of different trainig and testing conditions.en_ZA
