Polar OwnOptimizer

General

Successful training requires temporary overloading: longer exercise duration, higher intensity, or higher
total volume. In order to avoid severe overtraining, overloading must always be followed by an adequate
recovery period. With an inadequate recovery period, you may experience a decrease in performance as
a result of high training volumes, instead of improvement. Polar OwnOptimizer is an easy and reliable
way to determine whether your training program is optimally developing your performance. Polar
