M. POLAR GLOSSARY

Activity level: Your long-term physical activity level you need to assess in order to do the Polar Fitness Test.

BasicSet mode: Exercise set, which interval is set off.

Coded heart rate transmission:

Polar T61 transmitter automatically locks in a code to transmit your heart rate to the wrist receiver. In a coded transmission the receiver accepts heart rate data only from the Polar T61 transmitter. Coding significantly reduces crosstalk caused by other users of heart rate monitors. However, it does not necessarily reduce all environmental interference.

Configuring the display: During the exercise you can modify four display options by selecting information to the lower and upper rows.

Electrodes: The grooved areas of the transmitter, against the skin. Pick up the heart rate.

Exercise mode: The stopwatch is on and your exercise is recorded. You can select between the BasicUse, Interval Training Set and BasicSet.

Heart rate: The number of heart beats per minute (bpm).

Interval training: Seeks to improve your race pace with different periods of work and rest.

Maximal oxygen uptake: (maximal aerobic power, VO2max)

Is the maximal rate at which oxygen can be used by the body during

maximal work. VO2max is a good index of aerobic fitness.

Maximum heart rate: (HRmax) Is the highest number of heart beats per minute of a person.

Measure mode: Measuring your heart rate without recording the exercise.

OwnIndex: Result of Polar Fitness Test and comparable score with maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max).

Summary file: Presents the main information of your exercise.

Target heart rate zone: The area between the upper and lower heart rate limits. Target zone selection is based on personal fitness goals.
