## Description

**acentas HR Monitor** is an advanced Chrome extension designed for heart rate monitoring using a Bluetooth Smart enabled chest belt. Users input personal data and set customized training zones to visualize heart rate values both in beats per minute and as percentages relative to their maximum heart rate. The tool distinctively displays training zones with intuitive color animations and offers real-time updates on statistics like maximum, average, and minimum heart rates.

Beyond pulse tracking, the extension measures heartbeat variability and exercise intensity through metrics such as TRIMP, CR10, and calorie consumption. Detailed workout summaries are generated as PDF reports and CSV raw data files. These sessions can be seamlessly shared using smartphone functions like Dropbox and email. For optimal results, pairing the extension with an acentas chest belt is recommended, making it an excellent companion for athletes and fitness enthusiasts aiming for precise cardiac monitoring and comprehensive training analysis.
