Polar F11 & F6 Heart Rate Monitors – More Information
Full details of the excellent features on your Polar F11 Heart
Rate Monitor.
Polar Keeps U Fit ™ - Own Workout Program
Guides you to reach your personal fitness goals.
The Polar Keeps U Fit - Own Workout Program gives you personal
guidance - how often, how hard, and how long you need to exercise to
reach your personal fitness goals. The feature is included in the
Polar F11 and F55 Fitness Heart Rate Monitors. In addition, the
program can be used free of charge in Polar Fitness Trainer web
service.
Polar OwnZone®
Determines your personal heart rate limits for an exercise
session.
The Polar OwnZone (OZ) feature determines an individual exercise
zone. It guides you through an appropriate warm-up routine and
automatically determines a safe and effective exercise heart rate
zone - your OwnZone - while taking into account your current
physical condition
The OwnZone Basic corresponds to 65-85 % of the maximum heart
rate. Exercise at the lower end of this intensity level can be
conducted for extended periods safely and often yields the best
results for weight control, while exercise at the upper end of this
intensity produces the best results for improving cardiovascular
(aerobic) fitness.
Polar Fitness Test™ with OwnIndex®
Measures your fitness level in 5 minutes.
A fitness test that measures your aerobic/cardiovascular fitness
at rest in just five minutes. The result, Polar OwnIndex, predicts
your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max).
With the Polar Fitness Test you can measure your aerobic fitness
by yourself, automatically and without any exertion. No other
equipment other than a heart rate monitor is needed. The Polar
Fitness Test is as accurate in predicting the VO2max as any
sub-maximal fitness test.
The test is based on gender, age, height, body weight, level of
physical activity, heart rate and heart rate variability at rest.
The OwnIndex ranges usually from 20 to 95 and is comparable to
VO2max, the golden standard of aerobic fitness.
OwnIndex is most meaningful when following changes in your
fitness over a long period of time. Find out how fit you are for
your age and gender by comparing your result to the global
references listed in the Polar user's manuals.
Polar OwnCal®
Counts and displays calorie expenditure.
The Polar OwnCal feature shows your energy expenditure during one
exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during
several exercise sessions.
You can set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie
expenditure with the OwnCal feature. Because the OwnCal tracks both
the energy expenditure during one exercise session and the
accumulated kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it
helps in achieving both short term and long term goals.
Polar OwnCode® (5kHz)
Prevents cross-talk from other heart rate monitors.
As more and more people use heart rate monitors today, preventing
cross talk from other devices in group situations at the gym or when
jogging with a friend becomes essential. The unique coded technology
blocks unwanted signals from other heart rate monitors, ensuring
disturbance-free transmission of your heart rate data. |
