1. BENEFITS OF YOUR POLAR FT1/ POLAR FT2 TRAINING COMPUTER

Heart Rate -Based Training

Your heart rate is a convenient, reliable, and personal indicator of the intensity of your training. Knowing

your heart rate helps you decide whether to increase or decrease the intensity of your training, based on

your goals and fitness level. Although there are many subjective clues indicating how your body is reacting

to exercise (perceived exertion, breathing rate, physical sensations), none is as reliable as measuring heart

rate. It is objective and affected by both internal and external factors, and is therefore a dependable

measure of physical condition.

Using your FT1/FT2 training computer during training:

• Teaches you about your body's reaction to training

• Keeps you from starting out too hard (as beginners are often tempted to do)

• Helps you control the intensity of your training routine

• Provides feedback on how you are improving

Training intensity

Maximum heart rate (HRmax) is a value used to define your target heart rate limits. HRmax is the highest

number of heartbeats per minute (bpm) during maximum physical exertion. HRmax can be calculated

(estimated) based on your age: 220 - age = HRmax.

Training intensities can be expressed as percentages of HRmax.

There are three different training intensities: Light, Moderate and Hard.

Intensity Intensity % of HRmax Training benefit

Hard 80-90% • Benefits: Increases maximum performance capacity

• Feels like: Tiredness in muscles and heavy breathing

• Recommended for: Fit users for short training sessions

Moderate 70-80% • Benefits: Improves aerobic fitness

• Feels like: Good, easy breathing, moderate sweating

• Recommended for: Everybody for typical training

sessions with moderate length

Light 60-70% • Benefits: Improves basic endurance and helps recovery

• Feels like: Comfortable, easy breathing, low loading for

muscles, light sweating

• Recommended for: Everybody

Secure the strap around your chest, just below the

chest muscles, and fasten the strap to the heart rate

sensor.

3. Lift the heart rate sensor off your chest and moisten

the two grooved electrode areas on the back. Check

that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your

skin, and that the text on the heart rate sensor is in

an upright position and in the centre of your chest.

For more information on how to maintain your heart rate

sensor see Caring for Your Product (page 13)
