Programming The Recovery Calculation; Programming Timer 1 And Timer 2 - Polar Electro E200 User Manual

Finding the target heart rate zone.
To find the target heart rate zone for your students, you'll need
to estimate their maximum heart rate (HR
following formula.
220 - the age of the student =
For the general activities of children, a zone of 70 to 85% of HR
has a positive effect on their heart and aerobic fitness, without
being too strenuous.
To find the correct zone:
.70 x HR = (lower limit)
max
.85 x HR = (upper limit)
max
Note: If you teach children of different ages, use the average
to estimate their HR , as long as their ages do not vary by
max
more than three or four years.

Programming the Recovery Calculation

The E200 will calculate how many beats your heart rate recovers
(drops) in a given amount of time after exertion. The rate at which
the heart can recover is a measure of one's fitness.

Programming Timer 1 and Timer 2

Your E200 heart rate monitor comes with two interval timers. This
feature can be used to alert your students to switch exercise stations
or to go from warm up, to exercise, to cool down. If you are
coaching athletes, you can use these timers to regulate the length of
their hard efforts and the duration of their recovery in between.
Once set, the first timer will begin when the stopwatch is started
in the measuring mode. When Timer 1 is finished the receiver will
beep and Timer 2 will automatically start. When Timer 2 is
finished the monitor will sound a different beep and Timer 1 will
automatically begin again, and so on.
