E. POLAR FITNESS TEST

The Polar Fitness Test is an easy, safe and quick way to estimate individual maximal aerobic power and to get predicted maximum heart rate value. The Polar Fitness Test is targeted to healthy adults.

OwnIndex

OwnIndex is a value which is comparable to maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max ), a commonly used descriptor of aerobic fitness. Cardiovascular (aerobic) fitness relates to how well your cardiovascular system works to transport and utilize oxygen in your body. The stronger and more efficient your heart is, the better the cardiovascular fitness is. VO2max is a good indicator of performance in endurance sports.
