ANT+ heart rate & cadence

On Android, SportsTrackLive connects to ANT+ sensors to record physiological and cycling data alongside your GPS track.

Supported sensor types

  • Heart-rate monitors — ANT+ chest straps (Garmin, Suunto, Polar and others).
  • Bike speed & cadence — combined or separate ANT+ sensors for cycling.
  • Stride-based cadence — ANT+ foot pods (SDM) for running cadence.

What it adds to your activity

  • Current, average and maximum heart rate.
  • Cadence (pedal RPM or stride rate).
  • These appear live on the cockpit and in your statistics.

Pairing

In the app's ANT+ settings, scan and pair your sensors. You can connect several at once (for example a heart-rate strap and a cadence sensor) and see each device's connection status and battery level.

Android only

ANT+ relies on the device's ANT+ hardware and the ANT+ plugin service, which are available on Android. On iOS, use Bluetooth instruments instead.
