For thousands of years people are concerned to understand the operation of the most complex "machine" that exists on earth. For hundreds of years physiologists monitor heart sounds and interpret them to understand and anticipate the best influences that "the engine" has upon each organ of the human body, both individually and to the whole. A good anticipation of heart function is useful for everyday life, especially for applications required in physical activities. Heart rate is the parameter that we are interested primarily in physical activities because it changes directly proportional to level of effort (Derevenco, 1998), being the most rapid adjustment mechanism to the level of effort (Pufulete, 2002, p. 105).The first historical reference related with the working frequency of the heart is connected with the name of a doctor, who lived in the age of pyramids, Imhotep (Fig. 1) (roughly around 2600 BC) (Zăgrean, 1993, p. 15). After a trip through history heart rate recording we arrive to 2013. Now-a-days heart rate recording is performed with a wide range of instruments with a high accuracy for recorded data. I use a system consisting of heart rate monitor synchronized with specific software installed on my phone. After training is complete, the file containing the data taken during the session will be synchronized with your personal account on Sports Tracker site. From this account data will be exported into a file ending in `.gpx` which contains the heart rate profile during exercise session. The file `.gpx` will be imported into SportTracks program and will be processed with the tools offered by this software.
Key words: heart rate, pulse, history, record, technology.
