Hydra-Alert™ HRM PC (EON-2028HS)

-	You Must Know When Its Time to Rehydrate
-	Eliminate the Risk of Dehydration or Overhydration

The Acumen Advantage
The Hydra-Alert™ HRM PC (EON-2028HS) with Fluid Check™ redefines heart rate-based training with innovations that can help any fitness enthusiast improve athletic performance. The advanced technology of the Hydra-Alert™ HRM PC (EON-2028HS) sports watches allows users to simultaneously monitor air temperature, humidity, and heart rate to accurately gauge the degree of fluid loss during physical activity.

The Hydra-Alert™ HRM PC (EON-2028HS) stores vital information such as resting heart rate and Maximum MET (VO2 MAX) values for gauging training results. Simple one-time programming

MSRP: US$350.00

makes using the Hydra-Alert™ HRM PC (EON-2028HS) fast and easy and the rechargeable batteries make it the most reliable and cost effective training tool available.

The Hydra-Alert™ HRM PC (EON-2028HS) calculates and displays fluid loss in ounces/milliliter, and as a percentage of total body weight lost in fluid ounces/milliliter. Studies show, and experts agree, that themselves during and after exercise. Even the lowest levels of dehydration can negatively impact physical performance. A decrease in body weight from fluid loss of 1%-2% will lead to:

Loss of muscle strength
Inefficient oxygen consumption
Reduced endurance
Diminished physical performance

Guard Against Heatstroke and Heat Exhaustion

Adding to Acumen's reputation for innovation, Hydra-Alert™ HRM PC (EON-2028HS) feature H.I (Heat Index). This innovative feature accurately reports on the degree of risk associated with training and exercising in the heat. Dividing risk into four separate levels - Caution, Extreme Caution, Danger and Extreme Danger, the H.l. feature reports on the level of caution essential for safe training in heat and humidity. The Hydra-Alert™ HRM PC (EON-2028HS) can help maintain proper hydration and avoid the onset of heat stress related injuries during any physical activity.

Current resesarch indicates a strong relationship between heart rate and fluid loss.

Hydration and Physical Performance

Debilitating effects associated with dehydration include:

Diminished cardiac output
Increased body temperature
Elevated heart rate
Inaccurate perceived exertion

Maintaining proper hydration is essential for healthy cardiovascular and metabolic funciton. The following results of a recent study detail the impact of inadequate hydration at various stages of body dehydration.

1-2% loss body weight	Decrease in endurance, work capacity and oxygen consumption, decreased ability to sweat and to regulate body temperature
3% loss body weight	Continued decrease in physical endurance performance and decrease in ability to regulate body temperature
4% loss body weight	Large decrease in physical endurance performance and oxygen consumption
5% loss body weight	Possible muscle cramps, onset of heat exhaustion
More than 6% loss	Possible heat exhaustion, heat stroke, hyperthermia, fainting and coma
