Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor

The Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor is designed for those who want to know if they’re improving their fitness or burning fat. Available in two mens' models and two women's models.

Body measurement features

• Average and maximum heart rate of training

• Heart rate – bpm / %

  Heart rate is the measurement of the work your heart does. Heart rate can be expressed as the number of beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate.

• HR-based target zones with visual and audible alarm

  You can define your target zones for a training session based on heart rate to help define the right intensity. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.
• HRmax (user set)

• Manual target zone – bpm (upper limit)

  This feature enables you to define the upper limit for your target zone. You can set the upper limit for your training as beats per minute (bpm).

• Polar EnergyPointer

  EnergyPointer is an easy-to-use feature which tells you during a training session if the main effect of your training is fat burning or fitness improvement. EnergyPointer visually indicates the center point between these two training effects, so when you are below that point, you are improving fat burning, and above that point, you are improving your aerobic fitness.

• Polar OwnCal® – calorie expenditure

  Polar OwnCal calculates the number of calories burned during training. This feature allows you to track the calories burned during one training session and cumulative calories burned during several training sessions.

• Polar OwnCode® (5kHz) – coded transmission

  Coded heart rate transmission automatically locks in a code to transmit your heart rate to the training computer. The training computer picks up your heart rate from your transmitter only. Coding prevents interference from other training computers.

• Training load – available via polarpersonaltrainer.com

  This feature is available in Polar software. When you transfer training results from your training computer to polarpersonaltrainer.com, you can follow your training load and recovery in the training diary. Continuous monitoring of training load and recovery will help you recognize personal limits, avoid over- or undertraining, and adjust training intensity and duration according to your daily and weekly targets
