Training functions
* HeartTouch - button-less operation
Activating the HeartTouch function during a training session allows you to access various training-related information by bringing the training computer close to your transmitter and thus without having to press buttons.
* Graphic target zone indicator
This function shows on the display a graph of the zone you are in during a training session. This information will help you to stay in your target intensity zone.
Heart rate functions
* Training load - visible on polarpersonaltrainer.com
* HR based on target zones with visual and audible alarm
You can define target zones for a training session based on heart rate to set the appropriate intensity. When you go out of the preset zones, the training computer will inform you with a visual and audible alarm.
* HRmax (user setting)
Heart rate - bpm / % * Heart rate - bpm / % (user setting)
Heart rate is the measurement of the work your heart does. Heart rate is expressed as a number of beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate.
* Average and maximum heart rate during training
* Polar EnergyPointer
EnergyPointer is an easy-to-use feature that, during a training session, tells you whether the main effect of your training is fitness improvement or fat burning. EnergyPointer visually indicates the midpoint between these two training effects. This means that when you are below the midpoint, you are improving fat burning, while when you are above the midpoint you are improving your aerobic capacity.
* Polar OwnCal® - calorie expenditure
Polar OwnCal calculates the number of kilocalories consumed during training. This feature allows you to monitor the kilocalories burned during one training session and the cumulative kilocalories burned during several training sessions.
* Polar OwnCode® (5kHz) - coded transmission
The coded heart rate transmission automatically locks in a code to transmit your heart rate to the training computer. The training computer picks up only the heart rate that your transmitter transmits. The coding prevents interference from other training computers.
* Manual target zone - bpm (upper limit)
This function allows you to define the upper limit of your target zone. You can set the upper limit for your training in beats per minute (bpm).
