Polar M71 ti calculates your energy expenditure based on
gender, body weight and heart rate. If you exercise with
your OwnZone, the calorie calculation starts when your
heart rate is above the determined lower limit. This
determined limit is lower OwnZone heart rate limit minus
5 heart beats. If you have chosen to exercise with your
manually defined Target Zone limits, the OwnCal calorie
counter starts from the heart rate value of 100 bpm.
The higher the heart rate, the faster the energy
expenditure accumulation. Energy expenditure depends on
body weight; the heavier the weight the higher the energy
expenditure.
Polar M71 ti shows the energy expenditure of your latest
exercise session as well as the cumulative total energy
expenditure value in kilocalories (kcal). Recalling
training information. 1 kilocalorie (kcal or Calorie) =
1000 calories (cal).
