2. After about 1 minute, start a training session on your wearable. Choose any sport profile, for example Other
indoor.
3. Lie still and breathe calmly for 3–5 minutes. Don’t look at your training data during the measuring.
4. Stop the training session on your Polar device. Sync the wearable with the Polar Flow app or web service and check
the training summary for the value of your lowest heart rate (HR min)—this is your resting heart rate. Update your
resting heart rate to your physical settings in Polar Flow.

VO2
max
(maximal oxygen uptake, maximal aerobic power) is the maximal rate at which oxygen can be used by the body
during maximal exercise; it is related directly to the maximal capacity of the heart to deliver blood to the muscles.
VO2
max
can be measured or predicted by fitness tests (e.g. maximal exercise tests and submaximal exercise tests). You
can also use your
score, which is an estimation of your VO2
max
