performance for competitive purposes.

km / 25-75 miles) per week or spend that time in comparable physical activity.
• Moderate: You participate regularly in recreational sports, e.g. you cycle 1/2-2 hours (15-40 km / 3-25
miles) per week or spend that time in comparable physical activity, or your work requires modest physical
activity.

In the cycling computer, these values are used to calculate your energy expenditure.
Heart Rate: HR
max
, HR
sit
HR
max
(Maximum heart rate): Your age-predicted HR
max
value (220 - age) is used as a default. Set your
HR
max
manually if your maximum heart rate has been determined in a lab, if you have performed the
Fitness test with the Polar CS600X cycling computer, or if you have tested your maximum heart rate in the
field yourself.
HR
sit
(Heart rate value in a sitting position): Your age-predicted HR
sit
value is used as a default. Set your
HR
sit
value if you have determined it according to the instructions. For instructions, see Heart Rate Value
in a Sitting Position (page 59) in Background Information.
Maximal Oxygen Intake: VO
2max
VO
2max
is your body’s maximum capacity for oxygen consumption during maximum exertion. The most
accurate way of determining VO
2max
is to perform a maximal stress test in a laboratory. If you know your
exact clinically-tested VO
2max
, set the value in the cycling computer. Otherwise, measure a comparable
value, OwnIndex, by taking the Polar Fitness Test™. For further information, see Polar Fitness Test™
(page 47).
