Abstract
In this paper, we describe a sonification system that delivers instantaneous heart rate information to an athlete. The sonification system uses a textitPolar H7 heart rate sensor to monitor the heart rate of the user. We describe the techniques used for the processing of the captured heart rate data, its sonification and the relevance of the feedback methods via both a subjective and objective analysis. Our tests prove the strength of having a method for the sonification of instantaneous heart rate. Our testing procedure also serves as a pointer for evaluation of the efficacy of sonification methods in general.
