The Polar training computer shows your
performance indicators. It indicates the level of
physiological strain and intensity during your
training session. No other use is intended or

Minimizing Risks When Training
Training may include some risk. Before
beginning a regular training program, answer
the following questions concerning your health
status. If you answer yes to any of these
questions, consult a physician before starting
any training program.
• Have you been physically inactive for the past
five years?
• Do you have high blood pressure or high blood
cholesterol?
• Do you have symptoms of any disease?
• Are you taking any blood pressure or heart
medication?
• Do you have a history of breathing problems?
• Are you recovering from a serious illness or
medical treatment?
• Do you use a pacemaker or other implanted
electronic device?
• Do you smoke?
• Are you pregnant?
In addition to exercise intensity, medications for
heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological
conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as
some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine may
also affect heart rate.
It is important to be sensitive to your body’s
responses during exercise. If you feel
unexpected pain or excessive fatigue when
exercising, it is recommended that you stop
the exercise or continue at a lighter
intensity.
