Test Your Fitness Level
The Polar Fitness Test
TM
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 (VO
2max
), a
common aerobic capacity measure. For
further reading, see Interpret Your Test
Results.
The OwnIndex value can enhance the
accuracy of calories calculation during
training.
The test is developed for healthy adults.
To make sure the test results are reliable,
make the following considerations:
• Avoid distractions. The more relaxed
you are and the more peaceful the
testing environment is, the more
accurate the test result will be (for
instance, no television, telephone or
talking).
• Avoid heavy physical exertion, alcohol
and unprescribed pharmacological
stimulants on the test day and the day
before.
• Avoid eating a heavy meal or smoking
2-3 hours prior to the test.
• Perform the test always in similar
conditions and at the same time during
the day.
• Make sure that your user settings are
correct.
