10.2 MINIMIZING POSSIBLE RISKS WHEN EXERCISING

Exercise may include some risk. Before beginning a regular exercise program, it is recommended that you answer the following questions concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of these questions, we recommend that you consult a doctor before starting any training program.

Have you been physically inactive for the past 5 years?

Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol?

Do you have symptoms of any disease?

Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?

Do you have a history of breathing problems?

Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment?

Do you use a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device?

Do you smoke?

Are you pregnant?

Note that in addition to exercise intensity, medications for heart, blood pressure, psychological conditions, asthma, breathing etc. as well as some energy drinks, alcohol and nicotine may affect your heart rate.

It is important to be sensitive to your body’s responses during exercise. If you feel unexpected pain or excessive fatigue when exercising, it is recommended that you stop the exercise or continue at a lighter intensity.

Notice to individuals with pacemakers, defibrillators or other implanted electronic devices. Individuals who have a pacemaker use the Polar fitness heart rate monitor at their own risk. Before starting use, we always recommend a maximal exercise stress test under a doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the Polar fitness heart rate monitor.

If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with your skin or if you suspect an allergic reaction due to using the product, check the listed materials on Technical Specifications chapter. To avoid any skin reaction to the transmitter, wear it over a shirt. However, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure flawless operation.

The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a black color to come off the transmitter’s surface, which might stain light-colored clothes especially.
