Test Your Fitness Level

To train right and to monitor your progress, it is important to know your current fitness level. The Polar Fitness Test TM is an easy and quick way to measure your cardiovascular fitness. The test is performed at rest.

As a result you will get a value called OwnIndex. OwnIndex is comparable to maximal oxygen

uptake (VO2max ), which is a commonly used aerobic fitness measure. Read more on how to

interpret the results in Interpret Your Fitness Test Results.

The OwnIndex value also affects the accuracy of the training program and calorie calculation during training.

The test is developed for healthy adults. To make sure the test is reliable, take the following issues into consideration:

•Avoid distractions. The more relaxed you are and the more peaceful the testing environment is, the more accurate the test result will be (for instance, no television, telephone or talking).

•Avoid heavy physical effort, alcohol and unprescribed pharmacological stimulants on the test day and the day before.

•Avoid eating a heavy meal or smoking 2-3 hours prior to the test.

•Always perform the test in similar conditions and at the same time.

•Make sure that your user information is correct.
