Activate Your Polar Star Training Program
The adaptive, personalized and in-built Polar Star Training Program gives you the optimal intensity and
time targets for your training. The training computer gives feedback on your performance after each
training session and once a week.
The Polar FT60 creates a training program based on your user information (weight, height, age, sex),
fitness level, activity level, and training goal.
By analyzing your weekly training results and fitness level, the training computer gives you training
guidance for the following week. The training program adapts to your training habits and to your changing
fitness level.
1. In Time mode, select Menu > Applications > Training program > Create new program .
2. Perfom Polar Fitness Test. For more information, see Test Your Fitness Level.
3. Select your training goal:
• Improve fitness if your target is to improve your current cardiovascular fitness level and you are able
to train regularly.
• Maximize fitness if your target is to maximize your current cardiovascular fitness level, and if you have
been training regularly for at least 10-12 weeks and training nearly every day is not a problem for you.
• Lose weight if your target is to lose some weight.
4. Training program created! is displayed.
5. Next, View week targets? is displayed. Select YES to view the time and calorie targets for your first

is an easy and quick way to measure your cardiovascular fitness. The test is performed at
rest.
As a result you will get a value called OwnIndex. OwnIndex is comparable to maximal oxygen uptake
(VO2max ), which is a commonly used aerobic fitness measure. Read more on how to interpret the results in
Interpret Your Fitness Test Results.
The OwnIndex value also affects the accuracy of the training program and calorie calculation during
training.
The test is developed for healthy adults. To make sure the test is reliable, take the following issues into
consideration:
• Avoid distractions. The more relaxed you are and the more peaceful the testing environment is, the more
accurate the test result will be (for instance, no television, telephone or talking).
• Avoid heavy physical effort, alcohol and unprescribed pharmacological stimulants on the test day and the
day before.
• Avoid eating a heavy meal or smoking 2-3 hours prior to the test.
• Always perform the test in similar conditions and at the same time.
• Make sure that your user information is correct.
Perform Polar Fitness Test
1. Wear the heart rate sensor, lie down and relax for 1-3 minutes.

2. In Time mode, select Menu > Applications > Fitness test > Start test. The fitness test begins instantly
once the FT60 has located your heart rate.
3. About 5 minutes later, a beep will indicate the end of the test, and your test result will appear on the
display.
4. Press OK. UPDATE VO

5. Select Yes to save the test result in your User information and OwnIndex results. If you know your
laboratory measured VO2max value and have entered it in User information , select No to save your test

• Set activity lev. of past 3 months is displayed > Set your activity level (see Settings for more information
on activity levels). Activity set! is displayed and the test begins.
• Test Failed is displayed or no heart rate shown > Test fails. Check that the heart rate sensor electrodes are
moist enough and that the elastic strap is snug enough around your chest. If the fitness test fails, your
previous OwnIndex value is not replaced.
Interpret your fitness test results
Interpret the OwnIndex
values by comparing your
individual values and their
progression over time.
OwnIndex can also be
interpreted based on gender
and age. Locate your
OwnIndex on the table, and
find out your fitness level
class and how your aerobic
fitness compares to others
of the same gender and age.
This classification is based on a
literature review of 62 studies
where VO

was measured
directly in healthy adult subjects
in the USA, Canada and 7
European countries. Reference:

3. TRAINING
Wear the Heart Rate Sensor
Wear the heart rate sensor to measure heart rate.
1. Moisten the electrode area of the strap.
2. Attach the connector to the strap.
3. Tie the strap around your chest, just below the chest
muscles, and attach the hook to the other end of the
strap.
4. Adjust the strap length to fit tightly but comfortably.
Check that the moist electrode areas are firmly
against your skin and that the Polar logo of the
connector is in a central and upright position.
Detach the connector from the strap and rinse the strap
under running water after every use. Sweat and moisture
may keep the electrodes wet and the heart rate sensor
activated. This will reduce the heart rate sensor battery
life. For more detailed washing instructions, see Important
Information.
For video tutorials, go to http://www.polar.com/en/support/video_tutorials.
Start Training
1. Wear the training computer and heart rate sensor.

Start Training With OwnZone
Starting every training session with the OwnZone guarantees safe and effective heart rate zones for your
daily condition. Check your OwnZone at least
• when changing training environment or sport.
• when training for the first time after a week's break.
• If you have not recovered from the previous training or if you are not feeling well or are stressed.
• after changing user information.
Determining OwnZone limits take five minutes, and can be performed as a warm-up. Start slowly keeping
