Suunto t6d Black Flame and Suunto t3d Black Move heart rate monitors
To mark its co-operation with the ITU (International Triathlon Union), Suunto, a leading designer and manufacturer of sports precision instruments, introduces its Winning Triathlon Moves – Special collection – the Suunto t6d Black Flame and the Suunto t3d Black Move heart rate monitors. The devices feature the tried and tested features of their forerunners Suunto t3c and Suunto t6c topped up with Suunto Dual Comfort Belt.
The Suunto t6d Black Flame is like a real sports laboratory on the wrist for athletes with a professional attitude. It measures the time interval between heartbeats and its variations to calculate seven different body parameters. By utilizing the upcoming www.movescount.com, an athlete can interpret this data to achieve a deeper analysis of their training sessions.
The Suunto t6d Black Flame shows many of the body measurement results directly the on display. For example Training Effect (the aerobic benefit of a training session on a one-to-five scale), EPOC (Excess Post-exercise oxygen consumption), and calories burned can all be seen at a glance. The user can also freely customize the display and choose which data they need most for their current training program. The sport-specific Suunto PODs – Suunto Foot POD, Suunto Bike POD, Suunto GPS POD, and Suunto Cadence POD – also enable speed and distance data to be shown on the display of the wrist device.
For active sports participants and sports enthusiasts, the Suunto t3d Black Move offers the opportunity to train more effectively and get real results by for example featuring the real-time Training Effect display. The Training Effect (TE) value notes not only heart rate but also heart rate variation and so provides reliable information on workout intensity and its effect on fitness. Monitoring the TE value also reduces the risk of overtraining.
“I love the versatility of Suunto heart rate monitors”, says Jan Frodeno, German Triathlon Olympic winner. “I can use one monitor for all the sports I practice and combine it with any Suunto speed and distance POD. With my Suunto heart rate monitor, I can quickly and easily get the vital information I need to help me train right direct from my wrist – and get the most out of every session.”
Suunto continues as the official timing and data partner for the Dextro Energy Triathlon ITU World Championships Series. Suunto will once again be providing in depth information right from the heart of the race. To get into action, athletes’ speed and distance information – made possible by Suunto and using GPS technology - will be broadcast live on TV feeds and streamed via the triathlon.org website. Viewers will be able to see exactly how fast the athletes are moving and their precise location on the race course. Suunto additionally provides a real-time heart rate service, official race timing and splits for the entire WCS season.
The series kicks off in Sydney on 11th April, followed by Seoul on 8th May, Madrid on 5th June. After the short break, the series continues in Hamburg on 17th July, London on 24th July, Kitzbühel on 15th August. The grand final will be held in Budapest on 12th September.
Suunto t6d Black Flame and t3d Black Move will be available in late April.
