OwnIndex
Polar OwnIndex, the result of Polar Fitness Test, predicts your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2
usually ranges from 20 to 95 and is comparable to VO2
Your long-term level of physical activity, heart rate, heart rate variability at rest, gender, age, height, and
body weight all influence OwnIndex. The higher the OwnIndex value is, the better your aerobic fitness is.

The training computer can store your heart rate, running speed/pace, and cycling speed and distance in 1,
2, 5, 15 or 60 second intervals. A longer interval gives you more recording time, while a shorter interval
allows you to record more heart and other data. This enables accurate data analysis in
polarpersonaltrainer.com.
A shorter recording rate consumes the memory of the training computer more rapidly. Default recording
rate is 5 seconds.
When less than 30 minutes of maximum recording time is left, the recording rate changes automatically to
longer recording time (1s > 2s > 5s > 15s > 60s). This will maximize the time to record training data.
When the training session ends, the current recording rate remains as default.
The following table shows the maximum recording times for each recording rate. Note that recording rate
might change when there is less than 30 minutes of recording time left.
