expenditure calculation is based on:

l Individual maximum heart rate (HR
max
)
l Heart rate during training
l Activity measurement outside of training sessions and when you train without heart rate
l Individual maximal oxygen uptake (VO2
max
)

max
with the Polar Fit-
ness Test. Available only with Polar H7 heart rate sensor.
HEART RATE ZONES

into five heart rate zones based on percentages of maximum heart rate. With heart rate zones, you can easily
