Polar Fitness Test™ with OwnIndex®
Measures
your fitness level in 5 minutes. A fitness test that measures your
aerobic/cardiovascular fitness at rest in just five minutes. The
result, Polar OwnIndex, predicts your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max).
With
the Polar Fitness Test you can measure your aerobic fitness by
yourself, automatically and without any exertion. No other equipment
other than a heart rate monitor is needed. The Polar Fitness Test is as
accurate in predicting the VO2maxas any sub-maximal fitness test.
The
test is based on gender, age, height, body weight, level of physical
activity, heart rate and heart rate variability at rest. The OwnIndex
ranges usually from 20 to 95 and is comparable to VO2max, the golden
standard of aerobic fitness. OwnIndex is most meaningful when following
changes in your fitness over a long period of time. Find out how fit
you are for your age and gender by comparing your result to the global
references listed in the Polar user's manuals.
Cycling Economy
Tracks
the cycling workload as kcal/h and kcal/km. With this feature you can
foresee your calorie expenditure and secure sufficient intake on a long
ride. This feature is also useful for comparing and analyzing the loads
of various training types. It also measures how economical your
training is.
Memory Files
Stores the
training data of the last seven sessions. A feature that automatically
stores all cycling data from the last seven trainings.
Wireless Polar CS speed sensor
New
advanced sensor measuring the cycling speed. Wireless sensor that
provides current, average, and maximum speeds. Easy attachment and
aerodynamic design.

Estimated Time of Arrival
Enables
you to foresee the time of arrival based on your cycling speed. Set the
distance you are going to ride, and your cycling computer calculates
the estimated time of arrival based on your cycling speed.
SpeedPointer
Indicates
the relation between current speed and average speed. A feature that
points out the difference between average speed/pace and actual
speed/pace on the display by up/down arrows.
Polar OwnCal®
Counts
and displays calorie expenditure. The Polar OwnCal feature shows your
energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your
accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions.
You
can set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure
with the OwnCal feature. Because the OwnCal tracks both the energy
expenditure during one exercise session and the accumulated
kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it helps in achieving
both short term and long term goals.
Polar OwnZone®
Determines
personal heart rate limits for a training session. The Polar OwnZone
(OZ) feature determines an individual exercise zone. It guides you
through an appropriate warm-up routine and automatically determines a
safe and effective exercise heart rate zone - your OwnZone - while
taking into account your current physical condition.
Polar Heart
Rate Monitors use multiple methods for determining your OwnZone. The
primary method is to measure your heart rate variability during the
warm-up period before exercising. If the measurement is not successful,
your latest saved OwnZone limits are used. If there are no previous
limits in the memory, the Polar Heart Rate Monitor will automatically
calculate OwnZone limits based on your age-predicted maximum heart rate
(220 minus age). You should determine your OwnZone at the beginning of
your workout whenever you change exercise environment and/or exercise
mode or if your mental state changes when feeling stressed, for
instance.
The OwnZone Basic corresponds to 65-85 % of the maximum
heart rate. Exercise at the lower end of this intensity level can be
conducted for extended periods safely and often yields the best results
for weight control, while exercise at the upper end of this intensity
produces the best results for improving cardiovascular (aerobic)
fitness.
The OwnZone Advanced feature consists of two training
areas: OwnZone Low and OwnZone High, providing greater variations in
exercising than the OwnZone Basic area, which can be rather wide for
more focused training.
The OwnZone Light corresponds to 60-70% of
your maximum heart rate. This intensity still feels fairly easy for
most people. It helps in weight control and improves endurance and
cardiovascular fitness.
The OwnZone Moderate corresponds to
70-80% of your maximum heart rate. This intensity is especially good
for people who are exercising regularly. Exercising in this zone is
particularly effective for improving cardiovascular fitness.
The
OwnZone Hard corresponds to 80-90% of maximum heart rate. You will find
yourself breathing heavily, having tired muscles and feeling fatigued.
This intensity is recommended occasionally for fit people.
The
OwnZone Weight corresponds to about 60-75% of your maximum heart rate.
The OwnZone Weight is ideal for weight loss exercise for less fit
individuals and for those recovering from sickness or intensive
training.
Polar OwnCode® (5kHz)
Prevents
cross-talk from other heart rate monitors. As more and more people use
heart rate monitors today, preventing cross talk from other devices in
group situations at the gym or when jogging with a friend becomes
essential. The unique coded technology blocks unwanted signals from
other heart rate monitors, ensuring disturbance-free transmission of
your heart rate data.
Cadence Sensor
Measures your pedal cadence (rpm)
Wireless connection with cycling computer
Easy to attach to your bike
Comes with all necessary attachments (Bikemount Supplied)
