You improved your aerobic fitness, speed, and ability to sustain high intensity effort for longer. Tempo & Steady state training Good pace! You improved your ability to sustain high intensity effort for longer. This session also developed your aerobic fitness and the endurance of your muscles.
Training load takes into consideration different factors which affect your training load and recovery time, such as heart rate during training, duration of training, and your individual factors, e.g. sex, age, height, and weight. Continuous monitoring of training load and recovery will help you recognize personal limits, avoid over or under training, and adjust training intensity and duration according to your daily and weekly targets.
SETTINGS General settings Sport profiles Bike settings Physical Settings 20 21 24 24 GENERAL SETTINGS PAIRING Before taking a new sensor into use, it has to be introduced to your V650. This is called pairing and only takes a few seconds. Pairing ensures that the V650 receives signals from your sensor only, and enables disturbance-free training in a group. You can, for example, activate the sensors you want to use in different sports.

A clear link exists between oxygen consumption (VO2) of the body and cardiorespiratory fitness because oxygen delivery to tissues is dependent on lung and heart function. VO2max (maximal oxygen uptake, maximal aerobic power) is the maximal rate at which oxygen can be used by the body during maximal work; it is related directly to the maximal capacity of the heart to deliver blood to the muscles. VO2max can be measured or predicted by fitness tests (e.g. maximal tests, submaximal tests, Polar Fitness Test).
SMART COACHING POLAR HEART RATE ZONES Polar heart rate zones introduce a new level of effectiveness in heart rate-based training. Training is divided into five heart rate zones based on percentages of maximum heart rate. With heart rate zones, you can easily select and monitor training intensities. HRmax = 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.
BATTERY INFORMATION CHARGING The V650 has an internal, rechargable battery. Use the USB cable included in the product set to charge your V650 via the USB connector on your computer. 1. Plug in your V650 to your computer’s USB port with the USB cable. 2. The charging animation appears on the display. Charging the battery fully takes up to five hours. INFO: Use a USB 2.0 compliant USB A-to-micro B cable included in the set package.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION CARE AND MAINTENANCE Like any electronic device, the Polar V650 should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfil guarantee obligations and enjoy this product for many years to come. POLAR V650 Keep your training computer clean. Use a damp paper towel to wipe dirt from the training computer. To maintain the water resistance, do not wash the training computer with a pressure washer. Do not immerse the training computer in water.
expose the training computer to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car or mounted on the bike mount. It is recommended to store the training computer partially or fully charged. The battery slowly loses its charge when it is stored. If you are going to store the training computer for several months, it is recommended to recharge it after a few months. This will prolong the battery lifetime.
CHANGE THE HEART RATE SENSOR BATTERY To change the battery of the heart rate sensor yourself, carefully follow the instructions below: When changing the battery, make sure the sealing ring is not damaged, in which case you should replace it with a new one. You can purchase the sealing ring/battery kits at well-equipped Polar retailers and authorized Polar Services. In the USA and Canada, the additional sealing rings are available at authorized Polar Service Centers.
The training computer should not be used for obtaining environmental measurements that require professional or industrial precision. INTERFERENCE DURING TRAINING Electromagnetic Interference and Training Equipment Disturbance may occur near electrical devices. Also WLAN base stations may cause interference when training with the training computer. To avoid erratic reading or misbehavior, move away from possible sources of disturbance.
• Do you use a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device? • Do you smoke? • 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.
