*HEART RATE VARIABILITY
OwmOptimizer™
OwnOptimizer reading
Successful training requires temporary overloading: longer exercise duration, higher intensity and frequency, or higher total volume. However, if you overload too much the effect to overall performance gains can be negative. To avoid this, overloading must always be followed by an adequate recovery period.
Polar OwnOptimizer measures heart rate and beat to beat variability during a simple orthostatic (laying down to standing) test. In this way it is able to identify the level of your training status and recovery, helping you to obtain optimal longer term performance benefits by ensuring you don’t over or under train.
OwnOptimizer values range from 1 (Good Recovery) to 9 (Parasympathetic Overtraining). Using OwnOptimizer minimizes the risk of negative progression through excessive overtraining.
By testing yourself in the morning after a training session and after recovery days you are able to determine your level of recovery and adjust training intensities accordingly
