Military:
Weight issues have increasingly become a problem in the military with many soldiers resorting to potentially harmful methods of weight loss. EKHO Heart Rate Monitors is the tool needed to have on every US Military personal to safely monitor their fitness intensity and with a set diet and exercise routine will maximize their ability to achieve their weight loss and fitness goals.
Firefighters:
According to a report published by the NFPA, "FIREFIGHTER FATALITIES IN THE UNITED STATES", dated 2004: "The largest proportion of deaths (47%) fell into the category of sudden cardiac death. All of these deaths in 2004 were attributed to stress or overexertion."
NVFC and EKHO Heart Rate Monitors have Teamed Up for Firefighter Wellness
Everyday, firefighters push themselves to the limits. Whether responding to an incident, training, or working out, your body and heart experience major stress. To prepare yourself for this intensity, you must strengthen and personally monitor your heart-health through targeted workouts. The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) and EKHO Heart Rate Monitors have teamed up to alert firefighters to the importance of being heart-healthy.
Heart attack continues to be the leading cause of on-duty firefighter deaths.
According to the USFA's annual report, Firefighter Fatalities in the United States, heart attack caused 47% of all on-duty firefighter deaths in 2006. The NVFC, through its groundbreaking Heart-Healthy Firefighter Program, is working to combat this alarming statistic and reverse this largely preventable trend. As part of this effort, the NVFC has teamed up with EKHO Heart Rate Monitors.
It has been said that knowledge is power. Knowing the signs, symptoms, and treatment of heart-related issues, along with being able to listen to what your body is trying to tell you, gives you power over a potentially deadly situation. EKHO Heart Rate Monitors allows you to monitor your heart rate in real-time alerting you immediately should your heart rate fall or rise beyond the set limits. Whether your heart rate is too slow or too fast, you are instantly alerted by an auditable alarm. EKHO heart rate monitors will help you understand how to strengthen your heart during workouts to ensure you are at optimum heart-health when duty calls.

Police officers are expected, in the course of duty, to go from the sedentary state to maximal exertion with little or no warning and with no preparation.
