Smart Calories; Smart Notifications - Polar Electro V800 Owner's Manual

Aerobic power is enhanced in heart rate zone 3. The training intensity is higher than in zones 1 and 2, but still
mainly aerobic. Training in zone 3 may, for example, consist of intervals followed by recovery. Training in this
zone is especially effective for improving the efficiency of blood circulation in the heart and skeletal muscles.
If your goal is to compete at top potential, you will have to train in heart rate zones 4 and 5. In these zones, you
exercise anaerobically in intervals of up to 10 minutes. The shorter the interval, the higher the intensity.
Sufficient recovery between intervals is very important. The training pattern in zones 4 and 5 is designed to
produce peak performance.
The Polar target heart rate zones can be personalized in the sport profile settings in the Flow web service by
using a laboratory measured HR
training in a target heart rate zone, try to make use of the entire zone. The mid-zone is a good target, but
keeping your heart rate at that exact level all the time is not necessary. Heart rate gradually adjusts to training
intensity. For instance, when crossing from heart rate target zone 1 to 3, the circulatory system and heart rate
will adjust in 3-5 minutes.
Heart rate responds to training intensity depending on factors such as fitness and recovery levels, as well as
environmental factors. It is important to look out for subjective feelings of fatigue, and to adjust your training
program accordingly.

SMART CALORIES

The most accurate calorie counter on the market calculates the number of calories burned. The energy
expenditure calculation is based on:
Body weight, height, age, gender
l
Individual maximum heart rate (HR
l
Heart rate during training
l
Individual resting heart rate value (HR
l
Individual maximal oxygen uptake (VO2
l
Altitude
l
For best possible Smart Calories information accuracy, please give V800 your measured VO2
HR values if you have them. If not, use the value given by Polar Fitness test.
