Activity Level
Activity level is an assessment of your level of long-term physical activity.Select the alternative that
best describes the overall amount and intensity of your physical activity during the past three months.
Top: Youparticipate in heavy physical exercise at least 5 times a week, or you exercise to improve
performance for competitive purposes.
High: Youparticipate at least 3 times a week in heavy physical exercise, e.g. you cycle 2-4 hours
(40-120 km / 25-75 miles) per week or spend that time in comparable physical activity.
Moderate: Youparticipate regularly in recreational sports, e.g. you cycle 1/2-2 hours (15-40 km /
3-25 miles) per week or spend that time in comparable physical activity,or your work requires
modest physical activity.
Low: Youdo not participate regularly in recreational sport or heavy physical activity, e.g. you
exercise hard enough to cause heavy breathing or perspiration only occasionally.
In the cycling computer,these values are used to calculate your energy expenditure.
HeartRate: HRmax, HRsit
HRmax (Maximum heart rate): Yourage-predicted HR max value (220 - age) is used as a default. Set
your HRmax manually if your maximum heart rate has been determined in a lab, if you have performed
the Fitness test with the Polar CS600 cycling computer,or if you have tested your maximum heart rate
in the field yourself.
HRsit (Heart rate value in a sitting position): Yourage-predicted HR sit value is used as a default. Set
your HRsit value if you have determined it according to the instructions. For instructions, see Heart
Rate Value in a Sitting Position in Background Information.
MaximalOxygen Intake: VO2max
VO2max is your body’smaximum capacity for oxygen consumption during maximum exertion. The most
accurate way of determining VO2max is to perform a maximal stress test in a laboratory.If you know
your exact clinically-tested VO2max, set the value in the cycling computer.Otherwise, measure a
comparable value, OwnIndex, by taking the Polar Fitness Test.For further information, see Polar
Fitness Test™.
