SMART CALORIES

The most accurate calorie counter on the market calculates the number of calories burned based on
your individual data:
•
Body weight, height, age, gender
•
Individual maximum heart rate (HR
•
The intensity of your training or activity
•
Individual maximal oxygen uptake (VO2
The calorie calculation is based on an intelligent combination of acceleration and heart rate data. The cal-
orie calculation measures your training calories accurately.
You can see your cumulative energy expenditure (in kilocalories, kcal) during training sessions, and your
total kilocalories of the session after afterwards. You can also follow your total daily calories.

CONTINUOUS HEART RATE

The Continuous Heart Rate feature measures your heart rate around the clock. It enables a more accur-
ate measurement of daily calorie consumption and your overall activity because also physical activities
with very little wrist movement, such as cycling, can now be tracked.
Polar's Continuous Heart Rate tracking starts every few minutes or based on your wrist movements.
The timed measurement checks your heart rate every few minutes and if your heart rate is elevated dur-
ing the check, the Continuous Heart Rate feature starts to track your heart rate. Continuous Heart Rate
tracking can also start based on your wrist movements, for example, when you're walking with a fast
enough pace for at least one minute.
The continuous tracking of your heart rate stops automatically when your activity level drops low
enough. When your Polar device detects that you've been sitting for a long time, the Continuous Heart
Rate tracking starts in order to find the lowest heart rate reading of your day.
Great! This long, low intensity session improved your basic endurance and your
body's ability to burn fat during exercise.
Well done! This low intensity session improved your basic endurance and your
body's ability to burn fat during exercise.
Very nice session for your recovery. Light exercise like this allows your body to
adapt to your training.
