Cycling: Cycling limits - OPTIONAL (see accessories on this page)
You can set upper and lower limits for heart rate, cadence or power output. Audio and visual alarms if your cycling rate goes out of the preset range. This feature is useful for maintaining a certain level of intensity in your training.
Cycling: Distance
The Interval Trainer will automatically guide you through the interval training session with the help of preset training phases: warm-up, intervals and cool-down. The interval phase is divided into interval and recovery calculation sections, which alternate continuously throughout your interval phase. The distance based interval ends your interval as you reach the selected distance.

Cycling: Distance Distance based recovery measurement
The Interval Trainer will automatically guide you through the interval training session with the help of preset training phases: warm-up, intervals and cool-down. The interval phase is divided into interval and recovery calculation sections, which alternate continuously throughout your interval phase. The distance based recovery measurement ends your recovery as you reach the selected distance.
Cycling: Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)
Enables you to foresee the time of arrival based on your cycling speed. Set the distance you are going to ride, and your cycling computer calculates the estimated time of arrival based on your cycling speed. Set the distance you are going to ride, and your cycling computer calculates the estimated time of arrival based on your cycling speed.

In the cycling settings you can set RideDist (riding distance). You can set the distance you are going to ride and the cycling computer will estimate your arrival time to the destination according to your riding speed. Estimated time of arrival works during your exercise recording and it can be seen on the upper row of the display.

Exercise: Polar Fitness Test? with OwnIndex®
Measures your fitness level in 5 minutes. A fitness test that measures your aerobic/cardiovascular fitness at rest in just five minutes. The result, Polar OwnIndex, predicts your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max).
With the Polar Fitness Test you can measure your aerobic fitness by yourself, automatically and without any exertion. No other equipment other than a heart rate monitor is needed. The Polar Fitness Test is as accurate in predicting the VO2maxas any sub-maximal fitness test.
The test is based on gender, age, height, body weight, level of physical activity, heart rate and heart rate variability at rest. The OwnIndex ranges usually from 20 to 95 and is comparable to VO2max, the golden standard of aerobic fitness.
OwnIndex is most meaningful when following changes in your fitness over a long period of time. Find out how fit you are for your age and gender by comparing your result to the global references listed in the Polar user's manuals.
Exercise: OwnCal®
Counts and displays calorie expenditure. The Polar OwnCal feature shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions.
You can set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure with the OwnCal feature. Because the OwnCal tracks both the energy expenditure during one exercise session and the accumulated kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it helps in achieving both short term and long term goals.
Exercise: Polar OwnCode® (5kHz)
Prevents cross-talk from other heart rate monitors. As more and more people use heart rate monitors today, preventing cross talk from other devices in group situations at the gym or when jogging with a friend becomes essential. The unique coded technology blocks unwanted signals from other heart rate monitors, ensuring disturbance-free transmission of your heart rate data.
Exercise: Polar OwnZone®
Determines personal heart rate limits for an exercise session. The Polar OwnZone (OZ) feature determines an individual exercise zone. It guides you through an appropriate warm-up routine and automatically determines a safe and effective exercise heart rate zone - your OwnZone - while taking into account your current physical condition. Polar Heart Rate Monitors use multiple methods for determining your OwnZone. The primary method is to measure your heart rate variability during the warm-up period before exercising. If the measurement is not successful, your latest saved OwnZone limits are used. If there are no previous limits in the memory, the Polar Heart Rate Monitor will automatically calculate OwnZone limits based on your age-predicted maximum heart rate (220 minus age). You should determine your OwnZone at the beginning of your workout whenever you change exercise environment and/or exercise mode or if your mental state changes when feeling stressed, for instance. The OwnZone Basic corresponds to 65-85 % of the maximum heart rate. Exercise at the lower end of this intensity level can be conducted for extended periods safely and often yields the best results for weight control, while exercise at the upper end of this intensity produces the best results for improving cardiovascular (aerobic) fitness. The OwnZone Advanced feature consists of two training areas: OwnZone Low and OwnZone High, providing greater variations in exercising than the OwnZone Basic area, which can be rather wide for more focused training.
The OwnZone Light corresponds to 60-70% of your maximum heart rate. This intensity still feels fairly easy for most people. It helps in weight control and improves endurance and cardiovascular fitness.
The OwnZone Moderate corresponds to 70-80% of your maximum heart rate. This intensity is especially good for people who are exercising regularly. Exercising in this zone is particularly effective for improving cardiovascular fitness.
The OwnZone Hard corresponds to 80-90% of maximum heart rate. You will find yourself breathing heavily, having tired muscles and feeling fatigued. This intensity is recommended occasionally for fit people.
The OwnZone Weight corresponds to about 60-75% of your maximum heart rate. The OwnZone Weight is ideal for weight loss exercise for less fit individuals and for those recovering from sickness or intensive training.
Exercise: Polar sport zones
Polar sport zones provide an easy way to select and monitor the intensity of your training and to follow sport zones based training programs. The training is divided into five zones based on percentages of your maximum heart rate: very light (50-60%HRmax), light (60-70%HRmax), moderate (70-80%HRmax), hard (80-90%HRmax) and maximum (90-100%HRmax).

Recording: Average heart rate
A figure expressed in beats per minute (bpm) representing the average heart rate measured over a specific period of time (e.g. a training session).
Recording: Calorie expenditure (Exercise/Weekly/Total/Fat%) - exe.total
The feature in Polar Heart Rate Monitors calculating the number of kilocalories expended during exercise is called OwnCal. This function allows you to follow the kilocalories expended during one exercise session (exercise on display) and cumulative kilocalories expended during several exercise sessions (total on display). The fat-burning percentage (fat% on display) estimate kilocalories expended from fat during a workout and is expressed as a percentage of the total kilocalories burned.
Recording: Distance (total)
Recording: Exercise Time (total)
The time you have trained with the stopwatch running. The Total Exercise Time feature keeps track of your cumulative training time since last resetting the counter. This feature gives you yet another way to set daily or weekly training goals for yourself.
Recording: Exercise file info page with date and time
Recording: Last OwnIndex
Recording: Maximum heart rate
The highest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) during maximum physical exertion. The HRmax -p score predicts your individual maximum heart rate. The most accurate way of determining your individual HRmax is to perform a maximal exercise stress test in a laboratory. For a rough estimate of your maximum heart rate subtract your age from 220. HRmax is a useful tool for determining the intensity of training.
