Train With Polar ZoneOptimizer

The ZoneOptimizer function determines your personal, optimized sport zones (heart rate zones) for your aerobic training session. It takes your present physical condition and mental state into account when determining the heart rate zones for the present training session. You will know what the right level to train on that particular day is, and can avoid over/under training. For more information, see Polar ZoneOptimizer (page 44).

To use the ZoneOptimizer function in your training, set in on by selecting MENU > Settings > Heart rate settings > ZoneOptimizer > On .

ZoneOptimizer function will define the optimized target heart rate zones for you in the beginning of every training session. If there is less than an hour since your last ZoneOptimizer definition, the given target heart rate zones are not necessarily valid, because you may have not recovered from previous training, and during instant recovery, heart rate variability returns to normal state slower than heart rate.

Start Training Session with Polar ZoneOptimizer

Before ZoneOptimizer determination, make sure that you have the Polar default sport zone heart rate
