ICI Podcast #45 – Research into the psychological effects of heart rate training.

I love people who see a question and decide to find the answer.  Melissa Marotta is just such a person: Spinning Instructor, Medical Student and also an excellent writer. Check out her blog and you see what I mean – http://www.spintastic.blogspot.com

Melissa asked the question; “does using heart rate monitor improve your Self-efficacy — that is, one’s belief in one’s own ability to navigate the challenges of one’s world?” And then decided to do a study to find the answer.

This post describes what she has planned and the Podcast adds more detail about – EXPLORATION OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF HEART RATE MONITOR USE DURING EXERCISE.

Once you have listened to her interview please complete her survey HERE.

You can contact Melissa melissa.marotta@gmail.com

I plan to have Melissa on later this summer to find out what she learns.
