Polar CS600X User Manual 35

In the cycling computer, these values are used to calculate your energy expenditure.

Heart Rate: HRmax, HRsit

HRmax (Maximum heart rate): Your age-predicted HRmax 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 CS600X cycling computer, or if you have tested your maximum heart rate in the field yourself.

HRsit (Heart rate value in a sitting position): Your age-predicted HRsit 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.

Maximal Oxygen Intake: VO2max

VO2max is your body’s maximum 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™.

If changes are made to the user settings, User settings updated is displayed.

You can enter and edit user settings by using the Polar ProTrainer 5 software. For further information, consult software help.
