Minimizing Possible Risks in Exercising with a Heart Rate Monitor

Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been sedentary.

Before starting a regular exercise program an individual is recommended to answer to the following questions for health status checking. If the answer is yes to any of the questions, we recommend to consult a doctor before starting an exercise program.

•Have you not exercised for the past 5 years?

•Do you have high blood pressure?

•Do you have 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, psyche, asthma, breathing etc. as well as some energy drinks, alcohol and nicotine, can affect heart rate.

It is important to be sensitive to your body’s reactions during

the exercise. If you feel unexpected pain or tiredness regarding your exercise intensity level, it is recommended to stop the exercise or continue at a lighter intensity.

If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact

with the skin, check the Polar heart rate monitor materials from the “Technical specifications” chapter. It is recommended that you wear the transmitter against your bare skin to ensure flawless operation. However, if you wish to wear the transmitter over a shirt, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes.

Notice to persons with pacemakers, defibrillator or other

implanted electronic device. Persons who have a pacemaker use the Polar heart rate monitor at their own risk. Before starting use, we always recommend an exercise test under doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the heart rate monitor.

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