Polar F6TM user manual HR View Setting

MANUAL: Instead of determining your target heart rate zone by using OwnZone or Automatic limits, you can determine your target heart rate limits manually by using the age formula.

Your target heart rate zone is a range between lower and upper heart rate limits expressed as percentages of your maximum heart rate (HRmax) or as beats per minute (bpm). HRmax is the highest number of heartbeats per minute during maximum physical exertion. The wrist unit calculates your HRmax according to your age:

Maximum heart rate = 220–age. For more accurate measurement of your HRmax, visit your doctor or exercise physiologist for an exercise stress test.

The wrist unit displays your previously determined heart rate limits. Alternatively, if you have not determined the manual limits before your age-based limits are displayed.

Press the / buttons to set the upper limit. Press OK. Press the / buttons to set the lower limit. Press OK.

OFF: The function is switched off and there are no target heart rate limits during the exercise session.

The table below contains target heart rate zones in beats per minute (bpm) estimated by age in 5-year intervals. Calculate your own HRmax, write down your own target heart rate zones and select the ones suitable for your exercise.

Age	HRmax	Light*	Moderate	Hard
	(220–age)	Intensity	Intensity	Intensity
		60-70% of HRmax	70-80% of HRmax	80-90% of HRmax
20	200	120-140	140-160	160-180
25	195	117-137	137-156	156-176
30	190	114-133	133-152	152-171

65	155	93-109	109-124	124-140

*Polar target heart rate intensity definition is modified from international exercise science authorities' recommendations in which Light intensity can reach lower than 60%HRmax.
