OWNZONE METHODS

Polar Heart Rate Monitor uses multiple methods for determining your OwnZone. The primary method is based on measuring and analysing the heart rate variability during graded exercise (OZ.V).

If your heart rate exceeds the safety limit during the determination, Polar Heart Rate Monitor picks up your latest OwnZone definition based on heart rate variability (OZ.L). Alternatively, if there is no previous determination in memory, OwnZone limits, which are based on your age predicted maximum heart rate (OZ.A), will be used. These methods ensure that the safest possible exercise zone is determined for you.

The method used in defining the OwnZone is indicated after the two beeps as follows:

1.OZ.V (OwnZone Variability) and the currently determined OwnZone limits appear on the illuminated display.

2.OZ.L (OwnZone Latest) and your previously determined OwnZone limits appear on the illuminated display.

3.OZ.A (OwnZone Age) and your age-predicted heart rate limits appear on the illuminated display.

In models M61 and M62 you will also see which OwnZone level you have selected to use: BASIC (OwnZone Basic for allround exercising) HIGH (OwnZone High for exercising at moderate intensity)

LOW (OwnZone Low for exercising at light to moderate intensity)
