ORTHOSTATIC TEST WITH RECOVERY PRO
The Orthostatic test is also an integral part of the
feature in Vantage V that tells if your car-
diovascular system is recovered or not. It compares your Orthostatic test results to your baseline
gathered over time, and also takes into account your subjective recovery, as well as your long-term train-
ing history.
RUNNING POWER FROM THE WRIST
Running power is a great complement to heart rate monitoring – it helps you monitor the external load
of your running. Power responds to changes in intensity faster than your heart rate, which is why Run-
ning Power is a great guiding metric in interval and hill sessions. You can also use it to maintain a steady
effort level during your run, for example in a race.
The calculation is done with Polar’s proprietary algorithm, and it is based on your GPS and barometer
data. Your weight also affects the calculation, so make sure its up-to-date.
RUNNING POWER AND MUSCLE LOAD
Polar uses running power to calculate Muscle load, one parameter of
. Running causes
musculoskeletal stress, and Muscle load tells you how much your muscles and joints were strained dur-
ing your training session. It shows the amount of mechanical work (kJ) that you produced during your
running sessions (and cycling sessions if you’re using a cycling power meter). Muscle load helps you
quantify your training load in high-intensity running training sessions, such as short intervals, sprints and
hill sessions, when your heart rate doesn’t have enough time to react to the changes in the intensity.
HOW RUNNING POWER IS SHOWN ON YOUR WATCH
Running power is automatically calculated for your running sessions done with running type sport pro-
files with GPS available.
Choose the power data you want to view during your sessions by customizing your training views in the
Flow web service sport profile settings.
During your run you can view the following data:
