Cardio Load Status; Cardio Load Status On Your Watch; Long Term Analysis In The Flow App And Web Service - Polar Electro Vantage V3 User Manual

Strain shows you how much you have strained yourself with training lately. It shows your average daily load from the
past 7 days.
Tolerance describes how prepared you are to endure cardio training. It shows your average daily load from the past 28
days. To improve your tolerance for cardio training, you need to slowly increase your training over a longer period of
time.

Cardio load status

Cardio load status looks at the relation between your Strain and Tolerance and based on that shows you whether you
are in a detraining, maintaining, productive or overreaching Cardio load status. Cardio load status guides you in
evaluating the impact your training has on your body and how it affects your progress. Knowing how your past training
affects your performance today allows you to keep your total training volume in control and optimize the timing of
training at different intensities. Seeing how your training status changes after a session helps you understand how
much load was caused by the session.
