TRAINING

WEAR HEART RATE SENSOR

Use our heart rate sensors when training to get the most out of Polar’s unique Smart Coaching features. Heart rate data gives you an insight into your physical condition and how your body responds to training. This will help you run at the right intensity and improve your fitness.

Although there are many subjective clues as to how your body is doing during exercise (perceived exertion, breathing rate, physical sensations), none is as reliable as measuring heart rate. It is objective and is affected by both internal and external factors - meaning you will have a dependable measure of your physical state.
