EMT is a small independent company that focuses on heart rate technologies and associated applications within the wellness, sport and high performance markets. we have dealt with various levels of Teams from The Springboks, and Blue Bulls in Rugby, to Bafana Bafana and Kaiser chiefs in Football. product services have also extended into corporate wellness and school activities. The Systems we manag

e operate on a basic philosophy: find the best solution for the clients needs within budget. with that said this is a field that is constantly developing and we do also engage in academic support - various universities and medical practitioners use the products we supply and take information from them for academic research purposes. The Systems sit in three levels of solutions (although mix and match solutions are always possible):

1 ) Entry level
heart rate monitors are the most basic and user friendly way of measuring physiological output. the most simple way to do this is with the individual wearing a heart rate monitor and checking their own intensity as they train. the type of feedback available ranges extensively and is usually reflected by the need for advanced interventions as well as budget. The entry level options range in price from R1000 and go upwards depending on whether advanced features are needed or not. the main product line here is SUUNTO (www.suunto.com ).

2 ) Mid Level with team intervention
this level of product takes data that the player can see with their heart rate monitor and makes it available for a coach/physio/sports scientist to see in real time on a single computer screen. the system used here requires a software license and hardware to receive the heart rate data. This type of system does not necessarily require the athlete to have a watch but just a transmitter belt to be able to collect data at the computer point. The main product line at this level is Iqniter (www.iqniter.com ).

3 ) Professional level (System that Blue Bulls etc use)
This product is similar to the Iqniter system but with a few additional bonus features. firstly the range of transmission of data is up to 150m (as opposed to a functional range of 50-60m for the iqniter system) and the level of reporting is extensive. Used properly this system can track load and fatigue levels for individuals and groups (and make comparisons of both). The product line at this level falls under the brand of Firstbeat Technologies (www.firstbeat.fi ). http://www.firstbeat.fi/professional-sports/learning-center/seminar-presentations
