Maximum Heart Rate (HR
max
)
HR
max
is used to estimate energy expenditure. HR
max
is the highest number of heartbeats per minute
during maximum physical exertion. HR
max
is also useful when determining training intensity. The most
accurate method for determining your individual HR
max
is to perform a maximal exercise stress test in a
laboratory.
OwnIndex
®
Polar OwnIndex, the result of Polar Fitness Test, predicts your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2
max
). OwnIndex
usually ranges from 20 to 95 and is comparable to VO2
max
, commonly used to evaluate aerobic fitness.
Your long-term level of physical activity, heart rate, heart rate variability at rest, gender, age, height, and
body weight all influence OwnIndex. The higher the OwnIndex value is, the better your aerobic fitness is.
General Settings
• Sounds : Select On or Off
• Button lock: Select either Manual lock or Automatic lock
To lock buttons manually, press and hold LIGHT in time mode to enter Quick menu. Select Lock buttons
and press OK. To unlock buttons press and hold LIGHT again.
Automatic button lock is activated when you have not pressed the buttons for a minute.
• Units : Select Metric units (kg, m) or Imperial units (lbs, ft)
• Recording rate : Select 1 second, 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 15 seconds or 1 minute .
The training computer can store your heart rate, running speed/pace, and cycling speed and distance in 1,
2, 5, 15 or 60 second intervals. A longer interval gives you more recording time, while a shorter interval
allows you to record more heart and other data. This enables accurate data analysis in
polarpersonaltrainer.com.
A shorter recording rate consumes the memory of the training computer more rapidly. Default recording
rate is 5 seconds.
The following table shows the maximum recording times for each recording rate. Note that recording rate
might change when there is less than 30 minutes of recording time left.
