12. BACKGROUND INFORMA TION Polar Sport Zones Polar sport zones introduce a new level of effectiveness in heart rate-based training. T raining is divided into five sport zones based on percentages of maximum heart rate. With sport zones, you can easily select and monitor training intensities.
Aerobic power is enhanced in heart rate zone 3 . The training intensity is higher than in sport zones 1 and 2, but still mainly aerobic. T raining in sport zone 3 may , for example, consist of intervals followed by recovery .
amount of heart rate variability measured when compared to earlier measurements. Benefits of the ZoneOptimizer feature Each Sport Zone has a different physiological response which is described briefly in the Polar Sport Zones (page 43 ).
ZoneOptimizer function is developed for the use of healthy people. Some health conditions may cause heart rate variability-based ZoneOptimizer determination to fail or give lower intensity targets. These conditions include high blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia, and certain medications.
Y ou should also work on maximizing cadence efficiency . Cadence does not progress easily , but if properly trained, you will be able to sustain it throughout your runs and maximize your performance. T o develop cadence, the nerve-muscle connection needs to be trained - and reasonably frequently .
