1. An activity monitoring device, comprising,a housing configured for attachment to a body part of a user;

  • a first sensor disposed in the housing and configured to capture motion data describing motion of the activity monitoring device;

    a second sensor disposed in the housing and configured to sample a heart rate of the user to generate heart rate data when the activity monitoring device is worn on the body part of the user;

    memory disposed in the housing for storing the motion data captured by the first sensor and the heart rate data generated by the second sensor; and

    a processor disposed in the housing, wherein the memory further stores computer-executable instructions for controlling the processor to;

    determine a physical state of the user during a period of time, wherein for motion that is below a threshold, the instructions cause the processor to determine that the physical state is a sedentary state, and for motion that is at or above the threshold, the instructions cause the processor to determine that the physical state is an active state;

    reduce a rate at which the second sensor samples the heart rate of the user when the physical state of the user is determined to be the sedentary state during the period of time; and

    increase the rate at which the second sensor samples the heart rate of the user when the physical state of the user is determined to be the active state during the period of time.
