Usually, there are sensors in the hand grips that monitor your pulse rate (heart rate). You do have to make sure that the sensor area is clean and that your hands are clean (doesn’t matter if they are sweaty).
As to their accuracy, it really depends on the model and make. Most, however, are within a 10%, + or-, range.

If you feel your palm right now you will feel your pulse. That is what it is sensing
