Train With Polar ZoneOptimizer

The ZoneOptimizer function determines your personal, optimized sport zones (heart rate zones) for your
aerobic training session. It takes your present physical condition and mental state into account when
determining the heart rate zones for the present training session. You will know what the right level to
train on that particular day is, and can avoid over/under training. For more information, see Polar
ZoneOptimizer (page 44).
To use the ZoneOptimizer function in your training, set in on by selecting
settings > ZoneOptimizer > On
ZoneOptimizer function will define the optimized target heart rate zones for you in the beginning of every
training session. If there is less than an hour since your last ZoneOptimizer definition, the given target
heart rate zones are not necessarily valid, because you may have not recovered from previous training, and
during instant recovery, heart rate variability returns to normal state slower than heart rate.
