For more details about carrying out the Polar Fitness
Test and interpreting the OwnIndex
OwnIndex
OwnIndex is a score which is comparable to VO
2max
, a
commonly used descriptor of aerobic fitness.
OwnIndex is a result of the Polar Fitness Test, which is
an easy, safe and quick way to estimate maximal
aerobic power. The OwnIndex is based on heart rate,
heart rate variability at rest, body structure and self-
assessed physical activity.
Cardiovascular or aerobic fitness relates to how well
your cardiovascular system works to transport oxygen
to your body. The better the cardiovascular fitness,
the stronger and more efficient your heart is.
Having good cardiovascular fitness has many health
benefits. For example, it decreases your risk of
cardiovascular diseases, stroke and high blood
pressure.
If you want to improve your cardiovascular fitness, it
takes a minimum of 6 weeks of regular training to
see a noticeable change. Less fit individuals see
progress even more rapidly and for more active
individuals more time is needed.
Cardiovascular fitness is best improved by exercise
types which use large muscle groups. Such activities
include e.g. walking, jogging, swimming, rowing,
skating, cross-country skiing and cycling.
To be able to follow your fitness progress start with
measuring your OwnIndex a couple of times during
the first two weeks to get a reliable baseline value.
Thereafter repeat the test approximately once a
month.
OwnIndex can be measured with Polar M61 and M62
Heart Rate Monitors. Polar Fitness Test is targeted to
healthy adults.
