Why Our Textile Sensing Technology is BetterThe NuMetrex line of heart rate monitoring athletic apparel uses innovative “smart fabric” technology that incorporates special sensing fibers directly into the fabric of its garments. Replacing the hard plastic chest straps that rub and chafe against the skin, NuMetrex offers a comfortable alternative with form-fitting shirts and sports bras that sense your pulse and transmit it to a compatible wristwatch or exercise machine. The textile electrodes that are knitted into the fabric stretch and move as you do...The textile electrodes that are knitted into the fabric stretch and move as you do, maintaining contact with your skin and sensing your heart’s electrical pulse. A tiny transmitter is snapped into a small pocket in the front of the garment, where it instantaneously radios your heart rate for digital readout NuMetrex garments use advanced seamless design to provide superior comfort, support and freedom of movement. Quick-drying nylon/Lycra® fabric gives a second-skin feel and improves moisture management and air flow. The sensors in the fabric are completely comfortable and can’t be felt by the body. Comfort dynamics of the NuMetrex sports bra were measured against a typical heart rate monitoring chest strap. In the graphic below, the red zones indicate acute pressure points that cause discomfort to the body. Print Page Send To Friend
