• Weight: Set your weight in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lbs).
• Height: Set your height in centimeters (cm) or in feet and inches (if you chose imperial units)
• Date of Birth: Set your birthday. The order in which you set date settings depends on which time mode
you have chosen (24h: day - month - year / 12h: month - day - year).
• Sex: Select Male or Female.
• Activity level : Select Low (0-1 h/wk), Moderate (1-3 h/wk), High (3-5 h/wk) or Top (5+ h/wk)
Activity level is an assessment of your level of long-term physical activity. Select the alternative that best
describes the overall amount and intensity of your physical activity during the past three months.
• Top (5+ h/wk): You participate in heavy physical exercise at least 5 times a week, or you exercise to
improve performance for competitive purposes.
• High (3-5 h/wk): You participate at least 3 times a week in heavy physical exercise, e.g. you run 20-50
km/12-31 miles per week or spend 3-5 hours per week in comparable physical activity.
• Moderate (1-3 h/wk) : You participate regularly in recreational sports, e.g. you run 5-10 km or 3-6
miles per week or spend 1-3 hours per week in comparable physical activity, or your work requires
modest physical activity.
• Low (0-1 h/wk): You do not participate regularly in programmed recreational sport or heavy physical
activity, e.g. you walk only for pleasure or exercise hard enough to cause heavy breathing or
perspiration only occasionally. In the training computer, these values are used to calculate your energy
expenditure.
• Maximum heart rate : Set your maximum heart rate, if you know your laboratory measured current
maximum heart rate value. Your age-predicted maximum heart rate value (220-age) is displayed as a
default setting when you set this value for the first time. For more information, see Maximum Heart Rate
(HR
max
).
• OwnIndex(VO
2max
): Set your OwnIndex (VO
2max
value). For more information, see OwnIndex.
Maximum Heart Rate (HR
max
)
HR
max
is used to estimate energy expenditure. HR
max
is the highest number of heartbeats per minute
during maximum physical exertion. HR
max
is also useful when determining training intensity. The most
accurate method for determining your individual HR
max
is to perform a maximal exercise stress test in a
laboratory.
OwnIndex
®
Polar OwnIndex, the result of Polar Fitness Test (page 32), predicts your maximal oxygen uptake (VO
2max
).
OwnIndex usually ranges from 20 to 95 and is comparable to VO
2max
, commonly used to evaluate aerobic
fitness. Your long-term level of physical activity, heart rate, heart rate variability at rest, gender, age,
height, and body weight all influence OwnIndex. The higher the OwnIndex value is, the better your aerobic
fitness is.
