OwmOptimizer™

Successful training requires temporary overloading: longer exercise

duration, higher intensity and frequency, or higher total volume. However,

if you overload too much the effect to overall performance gains can be

negative. To avoid this, overloading must always be followed by an

adequate recovery period.

Polar OwnOptimizer measures heart rate and beat to beat variability

during a simple orthostatic (laying down to standing) test. In this way

it is able to identify the level of your training status and recovery, helping

you to obtain optimal longer term performance benefits by ensuring you

don’t over or under train.

OwnOptimizer values range from 1 (Good Recovery) to 9 (Parasympathetic

Overtraining). Using OwnOptimizer minimizes the risk of negative

progression through excessive overtraining.

By testing yourself in the morning after a training session and after recovery days you

are able to determine your level of recovery and adjust training intensities accordingly
