your training to

reach your fullest competitive potential.

Modern athletic training, designed to eliminate

hit-or-miss activity and to optimize the time spent,
requires precise measurements. The Polar Sport

Tester is the preffered measuring technology used

by winning world-class International teams in

track and field, cross-country skiing, bicycling,

triathlon, swimming, and other events.

For today’s competitive athlete, a carefully

planned personal training program includes, of

course, measuring of time: intervals, intermediate
and lap times, etc. But added to these now are
critical measurements related to testing of

baseline physiological functions such as:

Heart rate

Efficiency in oxygen use (maximal aerobic

capacity   V02 max)

Accumulation of lactic acid (anaerobic
threshold   AT)

When these internal stresses are accurately

measured, areas for improvement can be
identified and this allows for a planned approach

to ovecroming weaknesses through controlled

uses of intensity, duration and frequency in

training. For modern interval training, stress levels
(work intensity) and recovery levels can be

predetermined so you can reach your peak in time

for competition, and avoid injury through
overstress.
