you need is your training computer. The Polar Fitness Test is as
accurate in predicting the VO2max as any sub maximal fitness test. The
test is based on heart rate and heart rate variability at rest and
personal information. The Polar Fitness Test comparison table can be
found in polarpersonaltrainer.com Hybrid Transmitter Gives heart rate even in water with comfortable and disturbance-free hybrid transmitter. Sport Profiles Provide
true multisport support with a swift switch between different sports

sport-specific settings and detect the needed sensors automatically, so
you will not lose any time or training data. With just a few button
presses, you can change from one sport to another, for example in
triathlon. Running Index
Running Index is based on heart rate and speed data measured during the
run. It gives daily information about your performance level, both
aerobic fitness and running economy. Improvement in running efficiency
indicates improved economy of running performance. Running Index
offers an easy way to monitor performance changes. It is based on heart
rate and speed data measured during a running session. How
fast/easily you run at a given pace is directly influenced by aerobic
fitness (VO2max) and how efficient your body is at running. Running
Index is a measurement of this influence. Monitor your progress
by recording Running Index over time. Improvement means that running at a
given pace requires less of an effort, or that your pace is faster at a
given level of exertion. Running Index also gives you daily information
on your running performance level which may vary from day to day. E.g.
your value 50 means that your running performance level is Average. Your
Running Index is most meaningful when following the changes in your
individual values over time.

What is a heart rate monitor? Heart
rate is individual and changes according to your exercise. The
transmitter measures and sends the heart rate information to the watch
unit and the watch unit displays the heart rate and exercise
information. Put simply a heart rate monitor shows you how hard you are
working. "Put simply, regularly monitoring your heart rate is
the best way to tell how effective your exercise is. I use a Polar heart
rate monitor to keep track of how hard I'm working during every
training session, but you don't have to be a professional to feel the
benefits of heart rate monitoring. I would recommend anyone, no matter
how much or little they exercise, to wear a heart rate monitor when
working out. It can give motivation by providing targeted workout zones
according to your personal fitness level, to ensure you're always
training at the right level for you and your body. And by showing you
how hard you're working throughout exercise sessions, heart rate
monitoring can help you to achieve your fitness or weight loss goals
quicker and often with less effort than you think." (Matt Roberts,
Celebrity Personal Trainer) Why train with a heart rate monitor? Getting
the most out of your training doesn't always mean working faster or
harder. The best way to improving and seeing results is to train at the
right intensity. So with a heart rate monitor, you can make sure you're
not over or under training, and make each session count. Use Polar as
your training buddy and you'll have evidence of your progress -
motivating you each and every time you train. Polar will help you achieve your goals: Weight Loss To
maximise weight loss, exercise intensity needs to be varied. With a
Polar heart rate monitor you can control and monitor the intensity of
your exercise. Most Polar heart rate monitors show you how many calories
you have burned - great for motivation. Improved Fitness Polar
heart rate monitors have a number of features to help increase your
fitness levels. Look out for the Polar Keeps U Fit Program which gives
you personal guidance on how often, how long and how hard you need to
exercise to reach your personal fitness goals. In addition, there are
running and cycling specific products with speed and distance features
combined with heart rate to provide you with all the feedback you need
to take your fitness to the next level. Performance Gains If
you are serious about your training and want to maximise your
performance, look out for products with features such as Polar Sport
Zones, Polar OwnOptimizer and products with Polar Pro Trainer 5 software
which enables you to plan and create training sessions and analyse your
training data in detail. Why choose Polar? As the
