The Polar F11 is one of our best selling heart rate monitors. It is
the upgrade to the Polar F6. The upgraded features include the Wearlink
Coded Transmitter Belt, Polar Keeps You Fit Workout Programme and
Fitness Test with Ownindex.
The Wearlink Transmitter Belt Is a
lot more comfortable as it is made out of soft material instead of the
plastic T31 that you get in the cheaper models. Also you are able to
change the batteries in the wearlink, whereas the T31 you cannot.
The
F11 comes with ‘Polar Keeps U Fit’ workout program, which helps you
reach your goals by acting as a personal trainer! After a fitness test,
the watch gives you the option to maintain this fitness level, improve
it, or maximize it (3 different training intensity levels) the watch
will provide you with a weekly training target. You can
always change the level if you are finding it too hard or too easy. If you achieve the target set, the watch will show a trophy for your efforts.
The
F11 comes with 'Fitness Test with Ownindex' measuring VO2 max! (aerobic fitness level) This feature is really
good for motivation and being able to see your fitness levels imprvove
– and the best part of this fitness test is - you don’t have to
exercise! It works off your resting heart rate, so you HAVE to be
completely relaxed!

Polar Fitness Test™ with OwnIndex®
Measures your fitness level in 5 minutes. A fitness test that measures your aerobic/cardiovascular fitness at
rest in just five minutes. The result, Polar OwnIndex, predicts your maximal oxygen uptake (V02max). With
the Polar Fitness Test you can measure your aerobic fitness by
yourself, automatically and without any exertion. No other equipment
other than a heart rate monitor is needed. The Polar Fitness Test is as
accurate in predicting the VO2maxas any sub-maximal fitness test.
The
test is based on gender, age, height, body weight, level of physical
activity, heart rate and heart rate variability at rest. The OwnIndex
ranges usually from 20 to 95 and is comparable to VO2max, the golden standard of aerobic fitness.
OwnIndex
is most meaningful when following changes in your fitness over a long
period of time. Find out how fit you are for your age and gender by
comparing your result to the global references listed in the Polar
user's manuals.
Polar Keeps U Fit ™ - Own Workout Program
Guides you to reach your personal fitness goals. The Polar Keeps U Fit
- Own Workout Program gives you personal guidance - how often, how
hard, and how long you need to exercise to
reach your personal fitness goals. The feature is included in the Polar
F11 and F55 Fitness Heart Rate Monitors. In addition, the program can
be used free of charge in Polar Fitness Trainer web service.
Polar OwnCal®
Counts and displays calorie expenditure. The Polar OwnCal feature shows your energy expenditure during one
exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during
several exercise sessions.
You can set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie
expenditure with the OwnCal feature. Because the OwnCal tracks both the
energy expenditure during one exercise session and the accumulated
kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it helps in achieving
both short term and long term goals.
Polar OwnZone®
Determines personal heart rate limits for an exercise session.
The Polar OwnZone (OZ) feature determines an individual exercise zone.
It guides you through an appropriate warm-up routine and automatically
determines a safe and effective exercise heart rate zone - your OwnZone
- while taking into account your current physical condition.
Polar Heart Rate Monitors use multiple methods for determining your
OwnZone. The primary method is to measure your heart rate variability
during the warm-up period before exercising. If the measurement is not
successful, your latest saved OwnZone limits are used. If there are no
previous limits in the memory, the Polar Heart Rate Monitor will
automatically calculate OwnZone limits based on your age-predicted
maximum heart rate (220 minus age). You should determine your OwnZone
at the beginning of your workout whenever you change exercise
environment and/or exercise mode or if your mental state changes when
feeling stressed, for instance.
The OwnZone Basic corresponds to 65-85 % of the maximum heart rate.
Exercise at the lower end of this intensity level can be conducted for
extended periods safely and often yields the best results for weight
control, while exercise at the upper end of this intensity produces the
best results for improving cardiovascular (aerobic) fitness.
The OwnZone Advanced feature consists of two training areas:
OwnZone Low and OwnZone High, providing greater variations in
exercising than the OwnZone Basic area, which can be rather wide for
more focused training.
The OwnZone Light corresponds to 60-70% of your maximum heart rate.
This intensity still feels fairly easy for most people. It helps in
weight control and improves endurance and cardiovascular fitness.
The OwnZone Moderate corresponds to 70-80% of your maximum heart
rate. This intensity is especially good for people who are exercising
regularly. Exercising in this zone is particularly effective for
improving cardiovascular fitness.
The OwnZone Hard corresponds to 80-90% of maximum heart rate. You
will find yourself breathing heavily, having tired muscles and feeling
fatigued. This intensity is recommended occasionally for fit people.
The OwnZone Weight corresponds to about 60-75% of your maximum
heart rate. The OwnZone Weight is ideal for weight loss exercise for
less fit individuals and for those recovering from sickness or
intensive training.
Polar OwnCode® (5kHz)
Prevents cross-talk from other heart rate monitors. As more and more people use heart rate monitors today, preventing cross
talk from other devices in group situations at the gym or when jogging
with a friend becomes essential. The unique coded technology blocks
unwanted signals from other heart rate monitors, ensuring
disturbance-free transmission of your heart rate data.
