Moto2 - Thomas Luthi - Heart Rate BPM

[Teal]

I happened to catch this during the last Moto2 race and thought it was pretty cool/interesting;

 

[ANDRASTA]

Wow, thats very high physical effort.

 

[SkyRider]

darn didn't realize your heart goes that fast racing. is there a comparison with F1?

Moto2 and Moto3 are awesome. Great racing there. It takes real skill and fitness in moto and F1. I'm pretty sure f1 drivers lose almost 8 pounds by the end of the race, most of it being water. They sweat like pigs in those cockpits. It was cool to see that BPM indicator. Never seen that before on any motorsports broadcasts. Goes to show that people who say racing is not a sport and drivers are not atheletes are just not educated. lol I went to Germany last summer and did 3 laps around the infamous 20km nurburgring nordschliefe in the rain. Needless to say, by the end of it my arms were sore and my heart racing, and I was only driving a Peugot 207 haha. Fun stuff

Thats pretty amazing. I wear a HRM for all of my training sessions Im only hitting 177 bpm (96% of max) doing interval interval training (i.e. full effort sprints uphill)

This is nothing compared to MX riders.

This is nothing compared to MX riders.

Hahaha That's because those guys are all jacked up on 18 Monsters and Red Bulls or whatever energy drink is sponsoring them lol

One lap around a sandy mx track would quickly change your opinion.

Ive heard that motocross was the most physically demanding sport in the world before, so I tried looking up some sources. And it seems to come from a Swedish physical institute study done back in the late 60's that rated professional motocross racers 2nd just behind first place of soccer for being the most psychically demanding sport in the world. Its said that an average professional motocross racer, maintains a heart rate of 180-200 bpm during a race...

There was another study done in the late 80's that revealed MX riders were in fact more fit(bikes/riders got faster, MX was in it's infant stages in the 60's)
