POLAR HEART RATE ZONES When the player's maximum heart rate is selected as the heart zone calculation method, heart rate zones which the user can determine are specified as a percentage of a player's maximum heart rate. As the zones are based on percentages of a player's own maximum heart rate, they are individual for each player. The same percentages are, however, used for the whole team. Training is divided into five heart rate zones based on percentages of maximum heart rate.
Target zone Intensity % of HRmax*, Example durations bpm Training effect training pace, makes moderate intensity efforts easier and improves efficiency. Feels like: Steady, controlled, fast breathing. Recommended for: Athletes training for events, or looking for performance gains. Benefits: Improves general base fitness, improves recovery and boosts metabolism. LIGHT 60–70% 114-133 bpm 40–80 minutes Feels like: Comfortable and easy, low muscle and cardiovascular load.
Aerobic power is enhanced in heart rate zone 3. The training intensity is higher than in zones 1 and 2, but still mainly aerobic. Training in zone 3 may, for example, consist of intervals followed by recovery. Training in this zone is especially effective for improving the efficiency of blood circulation in the heart and skeletal muscles. If your goal is to compete at top potential, you will have to train in heart rate zones 4 and 5.
TRAINING LOAD The Training Load feature helps you to understand the amount of effort that you put into a training session. Training Load is calculated for every training session based on intensity and duration. The Training Load feature makes the effort of a short high intensity session comparable to that of a long low intensity session. Training Load value is indicated to the user in days and hours for more detailed comparison between sessions.
