Activate Your Polar STAR Training
Program
The adaptive, personalized, and in-built Polar
STAR Training Program provides you with the
optimum intensity and time targets. The FT80
gives you feedback on your performance after each
training session and once a week.
The FT80 creates a training program based on
your personal information (weight, height, age,
sex), fitness level, activity level, and training goal.
By analyzing your weekly training results and
fitness level, the FT80 gives you training guidance
for the following week. The training program
adapts to your training habits and to your
changing fitness level.
