Polar s3 Stride Sensor™ W .I.N.D. (option) Going beyond speed and distance to provide insight into the running stride itself, the s3 stride sensor is a durable light-weight module that measures just 55 x 39 x 14mm. It can be mounted securely and unobtrusively to training shoe laces or placed inside the specially designed mid-sole cavity in the ad[...]

Polar WearLink ® W .I.N.D. T ransmitter Since pioneering the development of wireless heart rate sensors, Polar has consistently led the field in furthering the technology to improve resolution and eliminate interference. The W earLink W .I.N.D. transmitter and soft textile chest strap is the latest generation of Polar’ s proprietary heart rate s[...]

ProT rainer 5™ Software for Windows Completing the RS800 T raining System, Polar ProT rainer 5 professional training software for Windows allows you or your coach to easily design and analyse training sessions based on: heart rate zones, speed, distance, time and increasing/decreasing heart rate. Through wire free (IrDA) communication you can per[...]

Optimising T raining Effect With the RS800 When you train or workout you are over stressing your body . After training your body enters a recovery phase during which it over -compensates for the training, resulting in improved strength and fitness - this damage and repair cycle is called training effect. If you train too hard and / or too often you[...]

Intensity zones (heart rate) or speed zones (pace) PLAN – TRAIN – ANAL YSE: USING THE POLAR RS800 TRAINING SYSTEM Plan your training program with ProTrainer 5 The program can be built up from an unlimited number of training sessions with each session comprising up to 12 phases with an unlimited amount of repetitions. The duration of each traini[...]

PLAN – TRAIN – ANAL YSE : TOT AL LAP RECALL USING THE POLAR RS800 TRAINING SYSTEM Post Training Analysis on the RS800 For quick analysis, you can review recorded data on the display of the RS800 immediately after training. The information available is as follows: • Session start time • T otal session duration • T otal distance • Speed /[...]

PLAN – TRAIN – ANAL YSE : USING THE POLAR RS800 TRAINING SYSTEM Post Training Analysis in ProTrainer 5 Once the exercise file has been transferred to ProT rainer 5 software you can analyse every aspect of your training session in exacting detail. Select any point during the training (data intervals depend on recording resolution selected – 1,[...]

Measuring Heart Rate V ariability – R-R Recording Heart rate varies with every heartbeat. Heart rate variability (HRV) is the timing between beats, also known as R-R intervals. An average heart rate of 60 beats per minute (bpm) does not mean that the interval between successive heartbeats would be exactly 1.0 sec, instead they may fluctuate/vary [...]

Resting Heart Rate. High variability. OwnZone ® When you exercise your heart rate increases and the variability timing between beats decreases. Polar’ s research has identified that the point where the timing difference plateaus (i.e. becomes too negligible to measure) is the point where your aerobic training becomes effective. From a controlled[...]

OwmOptimizer™ Successful training requires temporary overloading: longer exercise duration, higher intensity and frequency , or higher total volume. However , if you overload too much the effect to overall performance gains can be negative. T o avoid this, overloading must always be followed by an adequate recovery period. Polar OwnOptimizer meas[...]

Running Index Combining aerobic fitness (VO 2max ) and exercise economy (how efficient your body is at running), Running Index offers an easy way to measure performance (how fast/easily you run at a given pace). By recording your Running Index over time, you can monitor progress. Improvement means that running at a given pace requires less of an ef[...]

Running Cadence and Stride Length Cadence is the number of times the foot with the stride sensor hits the ground per minute. Stride length is the average length of one step. There are two ways to run faster: moving your legs at a higher cadence or taking longer steps. Elite long distance runners typically run with a high cadence of 85-95. On uphill[...]
