*HR max
= Maximum heart rate (220-age). Example: 30 years old, 220–30=190 bpm.
Training in heart rate zone 1 is done at a very low intensity. The main training principle is that performance improves when recovering after, and not only during training. Accelerate the recovery process with very light intensity training.
Training in heart rate zone 2 is for endurance training, an essential part of any training program. Training sessions in this zone are easy and aerobic. Long-duration training in this light zone results in effective energy expenditure. Progress will require persistence.
35
Aerobic power is enhanced in heart rate zone 3. The training intensity is higher than in zones 1 and 2, but still mainly aerobic. Training in zone 3 may, for example, consist of intervals followed by recovery. Training in this zone is especially effective for improving the efficiency of blood circulation in the heart and skeletal muscles.
If your goal is to compete at top potential, you will have to train in heart rate zones 4 and 5. In these zones, you exercise anaerobically in intervals of up to 10 minutes. The shorter the interval, the higher the intensity.
Sufficient recovery between intervals is very important. The training pattern in zones 4 and 5 is designed to produce peak performance.
The Polar target heart rate zones can be personalized in the sport profile settings in the web service by using a laboratory measured HR max value, or by taking a field test to measure the value yourself. When training in a target heart rate zone, try to make use of the entire zone. The mid-zone is a good target, but keeping your heart rate at that exact level all the time is not necessary. Heart rate gradually adjusts to training intensity. For instance, when crossing from heart rate target zone 1 to 3, the circulatory system and heart rate will adjust in
3-5 minutes.
Heart rate responds to training intensity depending on factors such as fitness and recovery levels, as well as environmental factors. It is important to look out for subjective feelings of fatigue, and to adjust your training program accordingly.
INDIVIDUAL TRAINING
The individual training feature combines data from the players' individual training sessions with data from team training sessions. In addition to data from individual training sessions, you can view the players' activity, sleep, training load and recovery status information. Find the perfect balance between training and rest and get a true picture of your players’ recovery status before getting out there again. Training load shows you how training affects your players and helps you recognize their limits, adjust training intensity and prevent injuries.
The players' data is available right after they sync their Polar device with the Flow web service.

SPRINTS
The number of sprints a player takes during a training session is counted. All acceleration values over 2.8
m/s2 are classified as sprints. The length of an acceleration can vary. It can only be a three step explosive movement or it can be a longer 20-30 meter maximal sprint. Both efforts are classified as one sprint when the threshold value of 2.8 m/s2 is exceeded.
42
SPRINT THRESHOLD
Follow the number of sprints actions based on either acceleration or speed threshold. You can choose default or free. With free you can set the threshold manually. The value can be set as speed (km/h) or acceleration
(m/s2). The default acceleration value is 2.8 m/s2.
You can edit the sprint threshold type in the Team Pro web service in Settings > Sport profiles .
TRAINING LOAD
The Training Load feature helps you to understand the amount of effort that you put into a training session.
Training Load is calculated for every training session based on intensity and duration. The Training Load feature makes the effort of a short high intensity session comparable to that of a long low intensity session.
Training Load value is indicated to the user in days and hours for more detailed comparison between sessions.
Training Load is based on intensity and duration of a training session. The intensity of a session is measured using heart rate and the calculation is further affected by your personal information, such as age, sex, weight,
VO2max, and training history. Before training history is available, your training background selection is used in the calculation. We also use your aerobic and anaerobic threshold values in the calculation. If you have reliably measured them, please update the default values in the web service. The sport of a session is taken into account via sport specific factor, which improves the calculation accuracy.
Mild 0-6 hours
Reasonable 7-12 hours
Demanding 13-24 hours
Very demanding 25-48 hours
Extreme Over 48 hours
TRAINING LOAD SCORE
Training load can viewed as recovery time or a as a score. Recovery time is an estimate of the time you need to fully recover from your training. Training load score is a numeric value of the approximate measure of carbohydrate and protein used as energy during training. Its numeric value typically ranges from 50 to 250 in a
30 to 90 minute training session.
You can edit how to view Training load in the Team Pro web service in Team Settings > General .

PRECAUTIONS
The Polar Team Pro solution shows performance indicators. The solution is designed to indicate the level of physiological strain and recovery during and after an exercise session. It measures heart rate, speed and distance. No other use is intended or implied.
The solution should not be used for obtaining environmental measurements that require professional or industrial precision.
INTERFERENCE DURING TRAINING
Electromagnetic Interference and Training Equipment
49
Disturbance may occur near electrical devices. Also WLAN base stations may cause interference when training with the training device. To avoid erratic reading or misbehavior, move away from possible sources of disturbance.
Training equipment with electronic or electrical components such as LED displays, motors and electrical brakes may cause interfering stray signals. To solve these problems, try the following:
1. Remove the sensor strap from your chest and use the training equipment as you would normally.
2. Move the training device around until you find an area in which it displays no stray reading or does not flash the heart symbol. Interference is often worst directly in front of the display panel of the equipment, while the left or right side of the display is relatively free of disturbance.
3. Put the sensor strap back on your chest and keep the training device in this interference-free area as much as possible.
If the training device still does not work with the training equipment, it may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement. For further information, see www.polar.com/support .
MINIMIZING RISKS WHEN TRAINING
Training may include some risk. Before beginning a regular training program, it is recommended that you answer the following questions concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of these questions, we recommend that you consult a doctor before starting any training program.
l
Have you been physically inactive for the past 5 years?
l
Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol?
l
Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?
l
Do you have a history of breathing problems?
l
Do you have symptoms of any disease?
l
Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment?
l
Do you use a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device?
l
Do you smoke?
l
Are you pregnant?
Note that in addition to training intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine may also affect heart rate.
It is important to be sensitive to your body’s responses during training. If you feel unexpected pain or excessive fatigue when training, it is recommended that you stop the training or continue at a lighter intensity.
Note! If you are using a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device, you can use Polar products. In theory interference to pacemaker caused by Polar products should not be possible. In practice no
50
reports exist to suggest anyone ever having experienced interference. We cannot however issue an official guarantee on our products’ suitability with all pacemakers or other implanted devices, such as defibrillators, due to the variety of devices available. If you have any doubts, or if you experience any unusual sensations while using Polar products, please consult your physician or contact the implanted electronic device manufacturer to determine safety in your case.
If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with your skin or if you suspect an allergic reaction due to using the product, check the listed materials in Technical Specifications. To avoid any skin reaction to the heart rate sensor, wear it over a shirt, but moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure flawless operation.
The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a black color to come off the heart rate sensor’s surface, possibly staining light-colored clothes. If you use perfume or insect repellent on your skin, you must ensure that it does not come into contact with the training device or the heart rate sensor.
