So what is Polar
all about? Yes, at our heart we are all about getting people fit and
improving their physical performance, but more than that, we are about pushing boundaries
in everything we do. Take a look through the About Polar section and see for
yourself. Who we are, what we do, our history and the innovations that make us
unique.
Polar Heart Rate
Monitors offer an unsurpassed measure of heart rate and bio feedback. As an
athlete, you understand the benefits that technology can offer. Titanium frames,
aero bars and scientific nutrition are advancements that have shaped the sport
for the last 15 years.
But there is one thing that has been around the sport
even longer, a heart rate monitor. More specifically, a Polar Watch.
To
understand how a Polar Heart Rate Monitor can help you, Polar has established
the Polar 3 Point Message:
1. In order to reach your goals, you need to train at
the right intensity.
2. Heart rate is the only accurate measurement of your
intensity or your exertion level.
3. A Polar HRM is the easiest and most
accurate way to continuously measure your heart rate.
If you're not using a Polar heart rate monitor
watch, you probably train with someone who does. You may have resisted until
now, and hopefully that will end here.
If you're very new to the concept of a Heart Rate
Monitor, you might be wondering what it is. It consists of a watch worn on your
wrist, and a transmitter that you comfortably wear against your skin and around
your chest. The transmitter picks up the signals of your heart, and sends them
wirelessly to the watch you wear on your wrist. It's that simple. No wires, no
taking your pulse and doing a multiplication equation. Just look at your wrist
and it's there. And the key – it’s displayed continuously. The continuous
display is what makes it effective. It's there to guide you during your entire
workout.
The Polar Heart Rate Monitor is like a coach that
guides you through each workout. For endurance workouts, it paces you so you
don't overdo it. For tempo runs, it keeps you on track. And for interval
workouts, it makes sure you go hard enough and you recover when it's time.
Nothing else can guide you that way. It can show you when you are dehydrating,
or running out of nutrition, or not recovered from a previous day's workout. It
allows you to analyze workouts and races so you can identify your weaknesses and
turn them into strengths. Your titanium frame is great, but if you're not
training the right way, it may as well be made out of lead.
If you are familiar with the likes of Polar Heart
Rate monitors, you understand why they are among the best made. They are able to
track not just your heart rate but also your running speed, distance (with the
Foot Pod), cycling speed and distances (with speed and cadence sensors).
Integration of these functions keeps Polar at the top of their game. They bring
their expertise in heart rate training to you – the everyday athlete. Please
note that Polar Heart Rate Monitors and/or accessories can not be shipped
internationally. Our apologies for any inconvenience. |
