ENGLISH

4.After the determination is finished, the training computer displays one of the following:

•Default sport zones (heart rate zones) in use. The determination was not successful. The Polar sport zone (heart rate) limits will be used.

•Sport zones optimized. Heart rate zones on higher level. The limits have been raised compared to your average ZoneOptimizer limits. You may consider having a high intensity training session today.

•Sport zones optimized. Heart rate zones on normal level. The limits have been raised or lowered only slightly compared to your average ZoneOptimizer limits. You can train as normal.

•Sport zones optimized. Heart rate zones on lower level. The limits have been lowered compared to your average ZoneOptimizer limits.

5.After you have received and read the feedback, press any button, except LIGHT, to exit the message display and continue your training session.

Remember that you need to spend at least 2 minutes doing both phase 1 and phase 2. The duration of the last phase is 6 minutes at maximum, and you need to be above 130 bpm for a minimum of 30 seconds, or until your heart rate variation can no longer be detected.

If you use ZoneOptimizer within an hour since your last use, please note that the recommended sport zones can be slightly off. This is because your body is likely to still be recovering from previous training, and heart rate variability, which ZoneOptimizer uses, returns to normal state slower than heart rate.

Training Views

You can view different training views by pressing UP or DOWN. The number of the training view appears for a few seconds.

The information displayed varies depending on the sensors you have installed, which features are set on and what kind of sport you are performing.

The below tables present available training views for some different sensor combinations. In these examples, the training information is shown on three rows. You can set the training information to be shown on two or three rows in MENU > Settings > Sport profiles > Sport > Training view.
