Smart Coaching - Polar Electro V650 User Manual

NORMALIZED POWER (NP) provides an evaluation of training intensity.
l
It provides a better measure of the true physiological demands of a
given training session.
INTENSITY FACTOR (IF) is simply the ratio of the normalized power to
l
your threshold power. IF therefore provides a valid and convenient way
of comparing the relative intensity of a training session or race either
within or between riders, taking into account changes or differences in
threshold power.
TRAINING STRESS SCORE (TSS) quantifies the overall training load
l
based on your power data. Please note that Polar training load and
TRAINING STRESS SCORE cannot be compared. They are two different
approaches.
To add these new power metrics in the training views of your V650, go to
Settings > Sport profiles
choose Training
customizing the training views.
