Why Fibion Flash Outperforms ActiHeart in ECG and HRV Monitoring (Audio from Video)
This is the audio from a video. Watch the video here: Fibion Flash vs. ActiHeart 5: The Best Alternative for Researchers
Looking for a powerful alternative to ActiHeart 5? How does Fibion Flash compare in accuracy, battery life, and versatility? In this episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen presents Fibion Flash as an advanced research tool, offering superior measurement capabilities for physical activity and physiological monitoring.
Dr. Tikkanen compares Fibion Flash with ActiHeart 5, highlighting key advantages such as higher sampling rates (up to 500Hz vs. 100Hz), a nine-axis motion sensor (including accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer), and extended battery life of up to 37 days. He demonstrates how the device can measure ECG, heart rate, and heart rate variability while being worn on the chest with a heart rate belt or used on the wrist for motion tracking and biomechanical studies. The episode also covers Fibion Flash’s SDK and API, allowing seamless integration into research projects.
For researchers looking for a high-precision, affordable alternative to ActiHeart, this episode provides a detailed breakdown of how Fibion Flash outperforms other options. Tune in to learn how this device can enhance your data collection and analysis.

Physical Activity Researcher
Hello and Welcome to Physical Activity Researcher Podcast!
Physical Activity Researcher Podcast is the source of the latest research findings on all things related to physical activity, exercise, and health. World-renowned scientists and experts as guests in an informal and relaxed interview style format. New episodes on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
The podcast is for anyone who likes to learn scientific and evidence-based knowledge of physical activity, exercise, and health. Our listeners range from researchers to health and fitness professionals, and from inactive office workers to marathon runners.
Podcast has several series and hosts each concentrating on different aspects of physical activity:
Physical Activity Researcher Series
The latest research findings in exercise physiology, biomechanics, physical education, coaching sciences, sport psychology, epidemiology, and public health. These episodes are hosted by researcher and entrepreneur Dr Olli Tikkanen.
Meaningful Sport Series
Meaningful Sport is dedicated to the exploration of meaning and meaningful experiences in sport and physical activity. Many studies have revealed instrumental benefits of physical activity, but is there something more to it, and how does it contribute to meaningful lives? This series is led by Associate Professor Noora Ronkainen. The series provides inspiration for exploring the meaning and value in sport and physical activity for everyone.
Practitioner’s Viewpoint Series
Practitioner’s Viewpoint Series has health and fitness professionals as guests. How they see sedentary behaviour and physical activity in their work? What are the best practices to promote physical activity? This series is for you if you are a Personal Trainer, Physiotherapist, Medical Doctor, Health Coach, or anyone working as a health and fitness professional. This series is lead by physiotherapist MSc Liis Kukkonen.
Publishing schedule:
Tuesdays: Physical Activity Researcher Series
Friday: Meaningful Sport Series
Sundays: Practitioner’s Viewpoint Series.
+ Bonus episodes and republications of past highlight episodes
