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 implied.
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 5 years?
Do you have high blood pressure or high blood
cholesterol?
Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?
Do you have a history of breathing problems?
Do you have symptoms of any disease?
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.
