ABOUT THE FITNESS INDEX
FITNESS INDEX
Your watch generates a fitness index based on your
aerobic fitness. This index is dependent and limited
by the body’s ability to deliver oxygen to the working
muscles in training. It is often measured by maximum
oxygen uptake (VO2 Max), which is defined as the
highest amount of oxygen that can be utilized when
exercising at an increasingly demanding level. The
lungs, heart, blood, circulatory system, and working
muscles are all factors in determined VO2 Max. The
unit of VO2 Max is ml/kg min.
The higher the index, the fitter you are. See the tables
below for a rough guide to what your fitness index
means:

ABOUT THE SMART TRAINING PROGRAM
(TIMER MODE)
The Smart Training Program enables you to complete
exercise cycles effectively. It will guide you from a warm
up to the end of your exercise program. In addition to
monitoring your heart rate and alerting you whenever
you fall out of the range for the selected upper / lower
heart rate limit, the program allows you to check the
calories consumed.
Different activities exercise the body in different ways
and help you to achieve a variety of fitness goals. To
accommodate this the Smart Training Program can be
set to suit different exercise activities. For example,
if you are running, your settings are likely to differ
from those you would use when undertaking a weight
training activity.
