FEATURE LIST for Polar FT7
Body measurement features
- Average and maximum heart rate of training
- Heart rate - bpm / %
- HR-based target zones with visual and audible alarm
- Manual target zone - bpm (upper limit)
- Polar EnergyPointer
♥ EnergyPointer is an easy-to-use feature which tells you during a training session if the main effect of your training is fat burning or fitness improvement. EnergyPointer visually indicates the center point between these two training effects, so when you are below that point, you are improving fat burning, and above that point, you are improving your aerobic fitness.
- Polar OwnCalŽ - calorie expenditure
♥ Polar OwnCal calculates the number of kilocalories expended during training. This feature allows you to follow the kilocalories expended during one training session and cumulative kilocalories expended during several training sessions. Some Polar products also estimate the fat-burning percentage (fat% on display), that is, kilocalories expended from fat during a workout which is expressed as a percentage of the total kilocalories burned.
- Polar OwnCodeŽ (5kHz) - coded transmission
♥ Coded heart rate transmission automatically locks in a code to transmit your heart rate to the training computer. The training computer picks up your heart rate from your transmitter only. Coding prevents interference from other training computers.
