Polar V800 Heart Rate Monitor User Manual


 
60
Your recovery status is based on your cumulative training load, daily activity and resting from the past 8 days.
The most recent training sessions and activity are weighted more than earlier ones, therefore they have the
biggest effect on your recovery status. Your activity outside training sessions is tracked with an internal 3D
accelerometer that records your wrist movements. It analyzes the frequency, intensity and irregularity of your
movements together with your physical information, allowing you to see how active you are outside your
training sessions. By combining your daily activity with your training load you get a true picture of your
required recovery status. Continuous monitoring of your recovery status will help you recognize personal
limits, avoid over or under training, and adjust training intensity and duration according to your daily and
weekly targets.
To get the most accurate recovery status information, wear a heart rate sensor when training.
Very strained
"Very strained" means that you have been training hard lately and your cumulative
load is very high. Over time this will improve your fitness and performance. You just
need to give yourself enough time to fully recover before your next heavy training
period or competition.
Strained
"Strained" shows that your training load has cumulated and become high. This may
also mean that you're not fully recovered from your past training and activity.
Improving fitness and performance requires strenuous training every now and then,
but also time to recover well.
Balanced
"Balanced" tells you that your recent training and the time you need to recover from
it are in balance. When you devote enough time for recovery, you can make sure
you get the most out of your training.
Undertrained
"Undertrained" means that you have recently been training less than normally.
Perhaps you need some extra time to recover due to an illness, stress from
everyday life or change of focus in your training plan. Please remember, though,
that if you cut down your training load for weeks in a row without careful planning,
some of the training benefits you have already gained may diminish.
