Polar Fitness Test is an easy, safe and quick way to
estimate individual maximal aerobic power and to
get predicted maximum heart rate value. Polar
Fitness Test is targeted to healthy adults.
OwnIndex is a value which is comparable to maximal oxygen uptake
(VO
2max
), a commonly used descriptor of aerobic fitness. Cardiovascular
(aerobic) fitness relates to how well your cardiovascular system works to
transport and utilize oxygen in your body. The stronger and more efficient
your heart is, the better the cardiovascular fitness is. VO
2max
is a good
indicator of performance capability in endurance sports.

see the previous chapter and for the Polar UpLink communication proceed
as follows:
1. Start the software.
2. If the receiver is in the Time of day display scroll up or down until
CONNECT is displayed.
3. Place the receiver less than 10 cm/ 4" from the loudspeaker.
4. Activate the upload function of the software. Do not move the receiver
during the data transfer.
5. The receiver automatically starts to upload the information as UpLink
