The number of heartbeats – contracting and relaxing – per minute is the heart rate. Your heart rate rises during exertion; therefore it is a reliable indicator of physical condition and level of exercise. POLAR products consist of a wrist unit and a chest transmitter belt. The transmitter measures the ECG and detects and transmits the heartbeat to the wrist unit. Innovative POLAR products are developed in close co-operation with leading research institutes. The worlds biggest athletes trust POLAR. These are some of the reasons why POLAR is the leading brand/manufacturer of heart rate monitors. Your maximum heart rate can be estimated using a rough formula. Maximum heart rate = 220 minus your age. Most POLAR products use this formula but some models even determine your optimal exercising intensity based on your own body condition. Exercise intensities are usually expressed as percentages of the maximum heart rate. Different intensities, otherwise known as heart rate zones, produce different health and fitness results. Lower intensities are recommend for novice exercisers. Moderate intensities improve general endurance and aerobic condition. Higher intensities are recommended for regular exercisers and athletes. POLAR also has its own unique features these help you tailor fitness routines according to your daily condition. These features are: Own Zone – Individual determination of your optimal target heart rate limits based on your daily condition. Own Calorie – Counts the displays calorie expenditure
