Body measurement features
* Automatic age-based target zone – bpm / %
To help you train safely and effectively, the training computer determines your
heart rate target zone limits automatically according to your age-based maximum
heart rate (220 minus age). The limits are determined either in beats per minute
(bpm), as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate, or as a heart rate
reserve (% HRR). See also Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and Manual target zone.
* Average and maximum heart rate of training
* Heart rate – bpm / %
Heart rate is the measurement of the work your heart does. Heart rate can be
expressed as the number of beats per minute or as percentage of your maximum
heart rate. Heart rate can also be expressed as a percentage of your heart rate
reserve, meaning the difference between your resting heart rate and maximum
heart rate (HRR = HRmax - HRrest). In Polar software or during strength
training, heart rate can be displayed as a graphical trend.
* HR-based target zones with visual and audible alarm
You can define your target zones for a training session based on heart rate to
help define the right intensity. When you are out of the preset zones, the
training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.
* HRmax (user set)
* Manual target zone – bpm / %
This feature enables you to define the target zone as you want and is suitable
for your training. You can set the target zone for your training as beats per
minute (bpm), as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, or as a percentage of
your heart rate reserve (HRR%).
* Polar Fitness Test
Polar Fitness Test measures your aerobic fitness at rest in just five minutes.
The result, Polar OwnIndex, evaluates your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). With
the Polar Fitness Test you can measure your aerobic fitness by yourself,
automatically and without any exertion. All you need is your training computer.
The Polar Fitness Test is as accurate in predicting the VO2max as any sub
maximal fitness test. The test is based on heart rate and heart rate variability
at rest and personal information.
* Polar OwnCal® – calorie expenditure with fat percentage
Polar OwnCal calculates the number of kilocalories expended during training.
This feature allows you to follow the kilocalories expended during one training
session and cumulative kilocalories expended during several training sessions.
Some Polar products also estimate the fat-burning percentage (fat% on display),
that is, kilocalories expended from fat during a workout which is expressed as a
percentage of the total kilocalories burned.
* Polar OwnCode® (5kHz) – coded transmission
Coded heart rate transmission automatically locks in a code to transmit your
heart rate to the training computer. The training computer picks up your heart
rate from your transmitter only. Coding prevents interference from other
training computers.
* Polar OwnZone® – personal heart rate zone
Polar OwnZone® determines your personal heart rate limits for a training
session. Depending on the day and time, your physical state may vary, for
instance, if you are stressed or tired, or if you are not fully recovered from
your latest training session, Polar can determine that information from your
heart rate and guide you to your ideal training zone for that moment.
* Polar STAR Training Program
The adaptive and personalized Polar STAR Training Program helps you reach your
training targets. The training program gives you weekly targets, including
intensity and duration, for your training. The Polar STAR Training Program is
based on your fitness level, activity level, training goal and personal
information (weight, height, age and sex).
Data transfer
* Compatible with polarpersonaltrainer.com – opt. with Polar FlowLink
G1 GPS sensor features
* Distance – training and total
Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance
tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Trip distance tells
you the distance from the latest trip reset. Lap distance tells you the distance
of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset.
Odometer tells you the cumulative distance which you cannot reset.
* Speed/Pace – current, average and maximum
Speed (km/h or mi/h) is measured with GPS, footpod, stride sensor or cycling
speed sensor. Pace (expressed as min/km or min/mile) stands for the rate of
speed. Pace is usually used in running. By setting a target pace, you can follow
how fast you need to run in order to reach a certain distance in a predefined
time.
Recording features
* Totals
Totals includes your training data starting from the last reset enabling you to
follow your long-term training.
* Training files (with summaries) – 100
* Weekly history
Weekly history gathers your weekly training data. By selecting a week, you can
review your training data for the week.
S1 footpod features
* Distance – training and total
Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance
tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Trip distance tells
you the distance from the latest trip reset. Lap distance tells you the distance
of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset.
Odometer tells you the cumulative distance which you cannot reset.
* Speed/Pace – current, average and maximum
Speed (km/h or mi/h) is measured with GPS, footpod, stride sensor or cycling
speed sensor. Pace (expressed as min/km or min/mile) stands for the rate of
speed. Pace is usually used in running. By setting a target pace, you can follow
how fast you need to run in order to reach a certain distance in a predefined
time.
Training features
* Graphical target zone indicator
This feature points out graphically on the display the zone you are in during a
training session helping you to stay on the desired intensity zone.
* HeartTouch – button-free operation of wrist unit
When HeartTouch is on, different training information during training can be
accessed without pressing buttons, for instance, when gloves make pressing
buttons difficult, by bringing your training computer close to your transmitter.
* ZoneLock
ZoneLock feature helps you to accumulate certain intensity. You can either lock
a zone before a training session or during it by pressing a button when you are
on the desired zone.
* ZonePointer
ZonePointer is a visible and moving symbol on the training computer display
indicating whether you are inside the pre-set target zone. This feature helps
you to reach the desired intensity/pace/speed/cadence targets.
Watch features
* Backlight
* Date and weekday indicator
* Display text in English, German, Finnish, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and
Italian
* Dual time zone
* KeyLock
By activating KeyLock, training computer buttons are locked, and accidental
presses do not cause problems, for instance, during training.
* Low battery indicator
