- Page 2 The next generation of running / training computers Polar’s RS range is the culmination of 30 years research and development to deliver the most complete and effective heart rate monitor based training management system for recreational runners, competitive runners and endurance athletes.
- Page 3 Using interference free Polar W.I.N.D. (Wireless Integrated Network Device) technology, RS800 communicates with the Polar WearLink transmitter W.I.N.D. and Polar s3 stride sensor™ W.I.N.D. over a wireless 2.4GHz frequency. Wearlink sends 1ms resolution ECG data to the wrist unit and, tracking the position of the foot 1000 times a second, the s3 stride sensor (option) sends speed, distance and cadence data.
- Page 4 Polar ProTrainer 5™ PC software. Low battery warnings will also be displayed on the RS800 wrist unit. Polar s3 stride sensor is the most effective technology for tracking real- time pace, distance and cadence. s3 Stride Sensor Specifications: Polar W.I.N.D.

- Page 12 Measuring Heart Rate Variability – R-R Recording Heart rate varies with every heartbeat. Heart rate variability (HRV) is the timing between beats, also known as R-R intervals. An average heart rate of 60 beats per minute (bpm) does not mean that the interval between successive heartbeats would be exactly 1.0 sec, instead they may fluctuate/vary from 0.5 sec up to 2.0 sec.
- Page 13 ® When you exercise your heart rate increases and the variability timing between beats decreases. Polar’s research has identified that the point where the timing difference plateaus (i.e. becomes too negligible to measure) is the point where your aerobic training becomes effective.
- Page 14 To avoid this, overloading must always be followed by an adequate recovery period. Polar OwnOptimizer measures heart rate and beat to beat variability during a simple orthostatic (laying down to standing) test. In this way it is able to identify the level of your training status and recovery, helping you to obtain optimal longer term performance benefits by ensuring you don’t over or under train.

Page 15: Running Index
Running Index Combining aerobic fitness (VO ) and exercise economy (how efficient 2max your body is at running), Running Index offers an easy way to measure performance (how fast/easily you run at a given pace). By recording your Running Index over time, you can monitor progress. Improvement means that running at a given pace requires less of an effort, or that your pace is faster at a given level of exertion. -
Page 16: Running Cadence And Stride Length
- Not a good idea!. By focusing on leg speed as part of your training plan you can easily improve your overall technique and benefit from greater running efficiency.

Page 17: Sport Zones
Recommended for: For recovery and cool-down exercises throughout the training season Sport Zones Polar sport zones introduce a new level of ease in heart rate-based training. Training is divided into five sport zones based on percentages of maximum heart rate. With sport zones, you can easily select and monitor training intensities to achieve optimal results.
