a variety of sports ranging from track and field,
cross country skiing, cycling, running, triathlon,
swimming and aerobics into different racket
sports, ice hockey and football.
For today’s competitive athlete a carefully
planned personal training program includes
measuring time intervals, intermediate and lap
times etc. For full benefit one should add
testing of baseline physiological functions, such
as:
• Heart Rate (Beats Per Minute)
• Efficiency in oxygen use
(maximal aerobic capacity - VO
2max
)
• Accumulation of lactic acid
(anaerobic threshold - AT).
When these internal functions are accurately
measured, areas for improvement can be
identified. A planned training program can be
implemented, focusing on improving weakness-
es through controlled use of exercise intensity,
duration and frequency. Stress (intensity) and
recovery levels can be predetermined allowing
you to reach your peak condition in time for
competition and/or avoid injury through over-
training.
Your Polar Protrainer NV Heart Rate Monitor
provides an accurate and reliable method for
controlling your exercise intensity while pre-
cisely tracking your progress through your
training program.
The Polar Protrainer NV HRM provides you with:
• A watch with an alarm and a calendar
• A wireless heart rate monitor with ECG
