FT4 Heart Rate Monitor Designed for Fitness & Cross Training<\/p>\n

For those who want basic heart rate-based features to keep their fitness training simple.<\/p>\n

SPEC:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Shows when you\u2019re improving fitness based on your heart rate
\n– Displays calories burned
\n– Comes with comfortable textile transmitter and coded heart rate transmission to avoid cross-talk
\n– Suitable for swimming<\/p>\n

FEATURES:<\/strong>
\nManual target zone \u2013 bpm \/ %
\nThis feature enables you to define the target zone as you want and is suitable for your training. You can set the target zone for your training as beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, or as a percentage of your heart rate reserve (HRR%).<\/p>\n

Polar OwnCode\u00ae (5kHz) \u2013 coded transmission
\nCoded 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.<\/p>\n

HR-based target zones with visual and audible alarm
\nYou 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.<\/p>\n

Automatic age-based target zone \u2013 bpm \/ %
\nTo help you train safely and effectively, the training computer determines your heart rate target zone limits automatically according to your age-based maximum heart rate (220 minus age). The limits are determined either in beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate, or as a heart rate reserve (% HRR). See also Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and Manual target zone.<\/p>\n

Heart rate \u2013 bpm \/ %
\nHeart rate is the measurement of the work your heart does. Heart rate can be expressed as the number of beats per minute or as percentage of your maximum heart rate. Heart rate can also be expressed as a percentage of your heart rate reserve, meaning the difference between your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate (HRR = HRmax – HRrest). In Polar software or during strength training, heart rate can be displayed as a graphical trend.<\/p>\n
