Applications
Fitness Test
To train right and to monitor your progress, it is important to know your current fitness level. The Polar
Fitness Test is an easy and quick way to measure your cardiovascular fitness and aerobic capacity. The
test is performed at rest. The test result is a value called OwnIndex. OwnIndex is comparable to maximal
oxygen uptake (VO2
max
), which is a commonly used aerobic capacity measure. For more information, see
Polar Fitness Test (page 36).
Race Pace
You can define a target time for a set distance, for example, to run 10 kilometers in 45 minutes. During
training recording this target pace/speed is compared with training information. For more information, see
Polar Race Pace (page 38).
Connect
For a long-term follow-up, store all your training files in polarpersonaltrainer.com web service. There you
can view information of your training data and get a better understanding of your training. Polar DataLink
data transfer unit and WebSync software make it easy to transfer training files to the web service. For
more information, see Data Transfer (page 26)
