Polar Fitness Test is targeted to healthy adults. OwnIndex OwnIndex is a value which is comparable to maximal oxygen uptake ), a commonly used descriptor of aerobic fitness.
  • Page 65 If you want to improve your cardiovascular fitness, it takes a minimum of 6 weeks on an average to see a noticeable change in OwnIndex. Less fit individuals see progress even more rapidly and for more fit individuals more time is needed. The better the cardiovascular fitness of an individual, the smaller the improvements in OwnIndex.

  • Page 66: Predicted Maximum Heart Rate

    Predicted maximum heart rate, HR The HR -p definition is carried out simultaneously with the Polar Fitness Test. The HR -p score predicts your individual maximum heart rate value more accurately than the age-based formula (220-age). The age-based method provides a rough estimation and is thus not very accurate, especially for people who have been fit for many years or for older people.

  • Page 74: Precautions

    H. PRECAUTIONS Using the Polar S610 in a water environment Your Polar S610 is water resistant to 160 feet/ 50 meters. Heart rate measurement in a water environment is technically demanding for the following reasons: • Pool water with a high chlorine content and seawater may be very conductive and the electrodes of Polar transmitter may get short circuited and ECG signals cannot be detected by the transmitter unit.
  • Page 75 Polar heart rate monitor and interference Electromagnetic interference Disturbances may occur near high voltage power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines of electric railways, electric bus lines or trams, televisions, car motors, bike computers, some motor driven exercise equipment, cellular phones or when you walk through electric security gates. Crosstalk The Polar wrist receiver in non-coded mode of operation picks up transmitter signals within 3 feet/ 1 meter.
  • Page 76 4. If the Polar heart rate monitor still does not work with the exercise equipment, this piece of equipment may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement. Minimizing possible risks in exercising with a heart rate monitor Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been sedentary.
  • Page 77 If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with the skin, check the Polar heart rate monitor materials from the “Technical specifications” chapter. It is recommended that you wear the transmitter against your bare skin to ensure flawless operation. However, if you wish to wear the transmitter over a shirt, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes.
