RESTING HR

RESTING HR: Set your resting heart rate.
About resting heart rate
A person's resting heart rate (HR
(bpm) when fully relaxed and without distractions. Age, fitness level, genetics, health
status and gender affect the HR
diovascular conditioning. A normal value for an adult is 60-80 bpm, but for top athletes
it can be below 30 bpm. An exceptionally high HR
illness.

VO2 MAX

VO2max: Set your maximal oxygen uptake, VO2
About VO2
max
A clear link exists between oxygen consumption (VO2) of the body and car-
diorespiratory fitness because oxygen delivery to tissues is dependent on lung and
heart function. VO2
imal rate at which oxygen can be used by the body during maximal work; it is related dir-
ectly to the maximal capacity of the heart to deliver blood to the muscles. VO2
be measured or predicted by fitness tests (e.g. maximal tests, submaximal tests, Polar
Fitness Test). VO2
of performance capability in aerobic events such as distance running, cycling, cross-
country skiing, and swimming.
VO2 can be expressed either as milliliters per minute (ml/min = ml ■ min-1) or this
max
value can be divided by the person's body weight in kilograms (ml/kg/min = ml ■ kg-1■
min-1).
The relationship between oxygen uptake (VO2) and heart rate (HR) is linear within an
individual during dynamic exercise. Percentages of VO
HR with the following formula: %HR
max
VO2 is the basic variable of the intensity of exercise. When determining target exer-
max
cise intensities heart rate is more practical and useful because it is easily and non-
invasively obtained, e.g. on-line during exercise with heart rate monitors.

FIRMWARE UPDATE

The firmware of your V650 can be updated. Any time a new firmware version is available, FlowSync will notify
you when connecting V650 to your computer with the USB cable. The firmware updates are downloaded via
the USB cable and FlowSync software.
