TRAINING BACKGROUND
Training background is an assessment of your long-term physical activity level. Select the alternative that
best describes the overall amount and intensity of your physical activity during the past three months.
Occasional (0-1h/week): You do not participate regularly in programmed recreational sport or heavy
physical activity, e.g. you walk only for pleasure or exercise hard enough to cause heavy breathing or
perspiration only occasionally.
Regular (1-3h/week): You participate regularly in recreational sports, e.g. you run 5-10 km or 3-6 miles
per week or spend 1-3 hours per week in comparable physical activity, or your work requires modest
physical activity.
Frequent (3-5h/week): You participate at least 3 times a week in heavy physical exercise, e.g. you run
20-50 km/12-31 miles per week or spend 3-5 hours per week in comparable physical activity.
Heavy (5-8h/week): You participate in heavy physical exercise at least 5 times a week, and you may
sometimes take part in mass sports events.
Semi-pro (8-12h/week): You participate in heavy physical exercise almost daily, and you exercise to
improve performance for competitive purposes.
Pro (>12h/week): You are an endurance athlete. You participate in heavy physical exercise to improve
your performance for competitive purposes.
MAXIMUM HEART RATE
Set your maximum heart rate, if you know your current maximum heart rate value. Your age-predicted maximum heart rate value (220-age) is displayed as a default setting when you set this value for the first time.
HRmax is used to estimate energy expenditure. HRmax is the highest number of heartbeats per minute during
maximum physical exertion.The most accurate method for determining your individual HRmax is to perform a
maximal exercise stress test in a laboratory. HRmax is also crucial when determining training intensity. It is
individual and depends on age and hereditary factors.

ASSISTED GPS (A-GPS)
The M450 has built-in GPS that provides accurate speed and distance measurement for a range of outdoor
sports, and allows you to see your route on map in the Flow app and web service after your session.
M450 uses AssistNow® Offline service to acquire a fast satellite fix. The AssistNow Offline service provides
A-GPS data that tells your M450 the predicted positions of the GPS satellites. This way the M450 knows
where to search for the satellites and thus is able to acquire signals from them within seconds, even under difficult signal conditions.
The A-GPS data updates once a day. The latest A-GPS data file is automatically updated to your M450 when
you sync your M450 with the Flow web service via the FlowSync software.
A-GPS EXPIRY DATE
The A-GPS data file is valid for up to 14 days. Finding GPS satelllite signals is relatively fast during the first
three days. Time needed for the satellite fix progressively increases during the 10th-14th days. Regular
updates help to ensure a fast satellite fix.
You can check the expiry date for the current A-GPS data file from your M450. In M450, go to Settings > General settings > About your product > A-GPS exp. date. If the data file has expired, sync your M450 with
the Flow web service via the FlowSync software to update A-GPS data.
Once the A-GPS data file has expired, more time may be needed for finding the satellite signals.

GPS FEATURES
M450 includes the following GPS features:
Distance: Accurate distance during and after your session.
Speed/Pace: Accurate speed/pace information during and after your session.
Back to start: Directs you to your starting point in the shortest distance possible, as well as shows the
distance to your starting point. Now you can check out more adventurous routes and explore them
safely, knowing that you're only a touch of a button away from seeing the direction to where you started.
BACK TO START
The back to start feature guides you back to the starting point of your session.
To use the back to start feature:
1. Press and hold LIGHT. Quick menu is displayed.
2. Choose Set location guide on, Location guide arrow view set on is displayed, and M450 goes to
Back to Start view.
To return to your starting point:
Keep moving in order for M450 to determine which direction you are going. An arrow will point in the direction of your starting point.
To get back to the starting point, always turn in the direction of the arrow.
The M450 also shows the bearing and the direct distance (beeline) between you and the starting point.
When in unfamiliar surroundings, always keep a map at hand in case the M450 loses the satellite signal or
the battery runs out.
BAROMETER
The barometer features include:
Altitude, ascent and descent
Temperature during training (can be viewed on the display)
Inclinometer (Requires Speed Sensor Bluetooth® Smart)
Real time VAM (mean ascent velocity)
Altitude-compensated calories
44
M450 measures altitude with an atmospheric air pressure sensor and converts the measured air pressure into
an altitude reading. This is the most accurate way to measure altitude and altitude changes (ascent / descent)
after calibration. Ascent and descent are shown in meters/feet. Uphill/downhill steepness is shown in percentages and grade, and is only visible during training when using a Speed Sensor Bluetooth® Smart.
To make sure that the altitude reading remains accurate, it needs to be calibrated whenever a reliable reference, such as a peak or a topographic map, is available or when at sea level. Pressure variations due to
weather conditions, or indoor air-conditioning, may affect altitude readings.
The temperature shown is the temperature of your M450.
Altitude is automatically calibrated with GPS, and it will be shown in gray until it's calibrated. To get the
most accurate altitude readings, it's recommended to always calibrate altitude manually when you know your
current altitude. Manual calibration can be done in the pre-training view or in the training view quick menu. For
more information, see Quick Menu.

TRAINING LOAD AND RECOVERY
The training load feature in the Diary in Polar Flow web service will conveniently tell you how hard your training
session was, and how much time is needed for complete recovery. This feature tells you if you have
recovered enough for your next session, helping you find the balance between rest and training. In Polar Flow
web service you can control your total workload, optimize your training, and monitor your performance development.
Training load takes into consideration different factors which affect your training load and recovery time, such
as heart rate during training, duration of training, and your individual factors, e.g. sex, age, height, and weight.
Continuous monitoring of training load and recovery will help you recognize personal limits, avoid over or
under training, and adjust training intensity and duration according to your daily and weekly targets.
Training Load feature helps you to control total workload, optimize your training, and monitor your performance
development. The feature makes different kinds of training sessions comparable with each other, and helps
you to find the perfect balance between rest and training.
FITNESS TEST
The Polar Fitness Test is an easy, safe and quick way to estimate your aerobic (cardiovascular) fitness at
rest. The result, Polar OwnIndex, is comparable to maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max ), which is commonly
used to evaluate aerobic fitness. Your long-term training background, heart rate, heart rate variability at rest,
gender, age, height, and body weight all influence OwnIndex. The Polar Fitness Test is developed for use by
healthy adults.
Aerobic fitness relates to how well your cardiovascular system works to transport oxygen to your body. The
better your aerobic fitness, the stronger and more efficient your heart is. Good aerobic fitness has many health
benefits. For example, it helps in decreasing the risk of high blood pressure and your risk of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. If you want to improve your aerobic fitness it takes, on average, six weeks of regular training to see a noticeable change in your OwnIndex. Less fit individuals see progress even more rapidly. The
better your aerobic fitness, the smaller the improvements in your OwnIndex.
Aerobic fitness is best improved by training types that use large muscle groups. Such activities include running, cycling, walking, rowing, swimming, skating, and cross-country skiing. To monitor your progress, start
by measuring your OwnIndex a couple of times during the first two weeks in order to get a baseline value, and
then repeat the test approximately once a month.
To make sure the test results are reliable, the following basic requirements apply:
47
l
You can perform the test anywhere - at home, at the office, at a health club - provided the testing environment is peaceful. There should be no disturbing noises (e.g. television, radio, or telephone) and no
other people talking to you.
Always take the test in the same environment and at the same hour.
Avoid eating a heavy meal or smoking 2-3 hours prior to testing.
Avoid heavy physical exertion, alcohol, and pharmaceutical stimulants on the test day and the previous day.
You should be relaxed and calm. Lie down and relax for 1-3 minutes before starting the test.
BEFORE THE TEST

VO2MAX
A clear link exists between maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max ) of the body and cardiorespiratory fitness
because oxygen delivery to tissues is dependent on lung and heart function. VO2max (maximal oxygen
uptake, maximal aerobic power) is the maximal rate at which oxygen can be used by the body during maximal
exercise; it is related directly to the maximal capacity of the heart to deliver blood to the muscles. VO2max can
be measured or predicted by fitness tests (e.g. maximal exercise tests, submaximal exercise tests, Polar Fitness Test). VO2max is a good index of cardiorespiratory fitness and a good predictor of performance capability
in endurance events such as distance running, cycling, cross-country skiing, and swimming.
VO2max can be expressed either as milliliters per minute (ml/min = ml ■ min-1) or this value can be divided by
the person’s body weight in kilograms (ml/kg/min = ml ■ kg-1■ min-1).
ORTHOSTATIC TEST
Orthostatic test is a generally used tool for monitoring the balance between training and recovery. It is based
on the training-induced changes in the function of your autonomic nervous system. Orthostatic test results are
affected by several external factors, such as mental stress, sleep, latent illness, environmental changes (temperature, altitude), and others. Long term follow-up helps you to optimize your training and prevent overtraining.
Orthostatic test is based on the measurement of heart rate and heart rate variability. Changes in heart rate and
heart rate variability reflect the changes in autonomic regulation of the cardiovascular system. During the test
HRrest, HRstand and HRpeak are measured. Heart rate and heart rate variability measured during orthostatic
test are good indicators of disturbances in the autonomic nervous system, for example fatigue or overtraining.
However, heart rate responses to fatigue and overtraining are always individual, and require longer term follow-up.
BEFORE THE TEST
When you perform the test for the first time, six baseline tests should be conducted over a period of two
weeks to determine your personal baseline value. These baseline measurements should be taken during two
typical basic training weeks, not during heavy training weeks. The baseline measurements should include
tests taken both after training days and after recovery days.
After the baseline recordings, you should continue to perform the test 2-3 times a week. Test yourself weekly
in the morning following both a recovery day and a heavy training day (or a series of heavy training days). An
optional third test can be performed after a normal training day. The test may not provide reliable information
during detraining or in a very irregular training period. If you take a break from exercise for 14 days or longer,
you should consider resetting your long-term averages and perform the baseline tests again
The test should always be taken in standardized/similar conditions in order to get the most reliable results. It
is recommended that you take the test in the morning before breakfast. The following basic requirements
apply:
50
l
Wear the heart rate sensor.
You should be relaxed and calm.
You can be seated in a relaxed position or lying in bed. The position should always be the same when
you do the test.
The test can take place anywhere – at home, in the office, at a health club – as long as the test environment is peaceful. There should be no disturbing noises (for example, television, radio or telephone)
or other people talking to you.
Avoid eating, drinking and smoking 2-3 hours prior to the test.
It is recommended to perform the test regularly and at the same time of day to get comparable test results, preferably in the morning after waking up.
PERFORMING THE TEST
Choose Tests > Orthostatic test > Relax and start the test. Searching for heart rate is displayed. When
heart rate is found Lie down & relax is shown on the display.
Your heart rate graph is shown on the display. Do not move during this first part of the test, which lasts
3 minutes.
After 3 minutes, the M450 will beep and Stand up is displayed. Stand up and remain standing still for 3
minutes.
After 3 minutes, the M450 will beep again and the test is finished.
You can interrupt the test in any phase by pressing BACK. Test canceled is displayed.
If M450 cannot receive your heart rate signal, the message Test failed is displayed. In which case, you
should check that the heart rate sensor electrodes are wet and that the textile strap fits snugly.
TEST RESULTS
As a result you see your HRrest, HRstand and HRpeak values compared with the average of your previous
results.
Your latest test result is shown in Tests > Orthostatic test > Latest result. Only your most recently performed test result is shown.
In the Flow web service you can follow your test results in the long-term. For a visual analysis of your Orthostatic test results, go to the Flow web service and select the test from your Diary to view details from it.
HEART RATE ZONES
Polar heart rate zones introduce a new level of effectiveness in heart rate-based training. Training is divided
into five heart rate zones based on percentages of maximum heart rate. With heart rate zones, you can easily

Training in heart rate zone 1 is done at a very low intensity. The main training principle is that performance
improves when recovering after, and not only during training. Accelerate the recovery process with very light
intensity training.
54
Training in heart rate zone 2 is for endurance training, an essential part of any training program. Training sessions in this zone are easy and aerobic. Long-duration training in this light zone results in effective energy
expenditure. Progress will require persistence.
Aerobic power is enhanced in heart rate zone 3. The training intensity is higher than in sport zones 1 and 2, but
still mainly aerobic. Training in sport zone 3 may, for example, consist of intervals followed by recovery. Training in this zone is especially effective for improving the efficiency of blood circulation in the heart and skeletal
muscles.
If your goal is to compete at top potential, you will have to train in heart rate zones 4 and 5. In these zones, you
exercise anaerobically in intervals of up to 10 minutes. The shorter the interval, the higher the intensity. Sufficient recovery between intervals is very important. The training pattern in zones 4 and 5 is designed to produce peak performance.
The Polar target heart rate zones can be personalized by using a laboratory measured HRmax value, or by taking a field test to measure the value yourself. When training in a target heart rate zone, try to make use of the
entire zone. The mid-zone is a good target, but keeping your heart rate at that exact level all the time is not
necessary. Heart rate gradually adjusts to training intensity. For instance, when crossing from heart rate target zone 1 to 3, the circulatory system and heart rate will adjust in 3-5 minutes.
Heart rate responds to training intensity depending on factors such as fitness and recovery levels, as well as
environmental factors. It is important to look out for subjective feelings of fatigue, and to adjust your training
program accordingly.
SMART CALORIES
The most accurate calorie counter on the market calculates the number of calories burned. The energy
expenditure calculation is based on:
Body weight, height, age, gender
Individual maximum heart rate (HRmax )
Heart rate during training
Individual maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max )
Altitude
SPEED AND POWER ZONES
With the speed and power zones you can easily monitor speed or power during your session, and adjust your
speed or power to achieve the targeted training effect. The zones can be used to guide the efficiency of your
training during sessions, and help you mix different training intensities for optimal results.
SETTINGS
The speed and power zone settings can be adjusted in the Flow web service. They can be turned on or off in
the sport profiles they are available in. There are five different zones, and the zone limits can be manually
55
adjusted or you can use the default ones. They are sport specific, allowing you to adjust the zones to best suit
each sport. The zones are available in running sports (including team sports that involve running), cycling
sports as well as rowing and canoeing.
Default
If you choose Default, you cannot change the limits. The default zones are optimized for a person with a relatively high fitness level.
Free
If you choose Free, all limits can be changed. For example, if you have tested your actual thresholds, such as
the anaerobic and aerobic thresholds, or the upper and lower lactate thresholds, you can train with the zones
based on your individual threshold speed or pace. We recommend that you set your anaerobic threshold
speed and pace as the minimum for zone 5. If you also use the aerobic threshold, set that as the minimum of
zone 3.
TRAINING TARGET WITH SPEED AND POWER ZONES
You can create training targets based on speed and power zones. After synchronizing the targets via
FlowSync, you’ll receive guidance from your training device during training.
DURING TRAINING
During your training you can view which zone you are currently training in and the time spent in each zone.
AFTER TRAINING
In the training summary on M450, you'll see an overview of the time spent in each speed or power zone. After
syncing, detailed visual speed or power zone information can be viewed in the Flow web service.
SPORT PROFILES
Lets you list all your favorite sports and define specific settings for each one of them. For example, you can
create tailored views for each sport you do and choose what data you want to see when you train: just your
heart rate or just speed and distance – whatever suits you and your training needs and requirements best.

CARING FOR YOUR M450
Like any electronic device, the Polar M450 should be kept clean and treated with care. The instructions below
will help you fulfill the guarantee obligations, keep the device in peak condition and avoid any issues in charging or syncing.
M450
Keep your training device clean. Use a damp paper towel to wipe dirt from the training device. To maintain the
water resistance, do not wash the training device with a pressure washer. Do not immerse the training device
in water. Never use alcohol or any abrasive material such as steel wool or cleaning chemicals.
After each time of using the USB port of the training device, check visually that there is no hair, dust or other
dirt on the sealing surface area of the lid/back case. Gently wipe to remove any dirt. Do not use any sharp
tools or equipment for cleaning, which could cause scratches to the plastic parts.
Not suitable for bathing or swimming. Protected against wash splashes and raindrops. Do not immerse
the training device in water. Using the training device in excessive rainfall may cause interference on GPS
reception.
Do not leave the device in extreme cold (below –10 °C/14 °F) and heat (above 50 °C/120 °F) or under
direct sunlight.
HEART RATE SENSOR
Connector: Detach the connector from the strap after every use and dry the connector with a soft towel.
Clean the connector with a mild soap and water solution when needed. Never use alcohol or any abrasive
material (e.g. steel wool or cleaning chemicals).
Strap: Rinse the strap under running water after every use and hang to dry. Clean the strap gently with a mild
soap and water solution when needed. Do not use moisturizing soaps, because they can leave residue on the
strap. Do not soak, iron, dry clean or bleach the strap. Do not stretch the strap or bend the electrode areas
sharply.
Check the washing instructions on the label of the strap.
STORING
M450: Keep your training device in a cool and dry place. Do not keep it in a damp environment, in non-breathable material (a plastic bag or a sports bag) nor with conductive material (a wet towel). Do not expose the training device to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car or mounted on the bike mount.
It is recommended to store the training device partially or fully charged. The battery slowly loses its charge
when it is stored. If you are going to store the training device for several months, it is recommended to
recharge it after a few months. This will prolong the battery lifetime.
67
Heart rate sensor: Dry and store the heart rate sensor strap and the connector separately to maximize the
battery lifetime. Keep the heart rate sensor in a cool and dry place. To prevent snap oxidation, do not store the
heart rate sensor wet in non-breathing material, such as a sports bag. Do not expose the heart rate sensor to
direct sunlight for extended periods.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
BATTERIES
The Polar M450 has an internal, rechargeable battery. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge
cycles. You can charge and discharge the battery over 300 times before a notable decrease in its capacity.
The number of charge cycles also varies according to use and operating conditions.
At the end of the working life of the product Polar encourages you to minimize possible effects of waste on the
environment and human health by following local waste disposal regulations and, where possible, utilizing separate collection of electronic devices. Do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste.
The Polar H7 heart rate sensor has a user changeable battery. To change the battery yourself, please follow
the instructions carefully as instructed in Changing Heart Rate Sensor Battery.
Keep the batteries away from children. If swallowed, contact a doctor immediately. Batteries should be disposed of properly according to local regulations.
CHANGING HEART RATE SENSOR BATTERY
To change the battery of the heart rate sensor yourself, carefully follow the instructions below:
When changing the battery, make sure the sealing ring is not damaged, in which case you should replace it
with a new one. You can purchase the sealing ring/battery kits at well-equipped Polar retailers and authorized
Polar Services. In the USA and Canada, the additional sealing rings are available at authorized Polar Service
Centers. In the USA the sealing ring/battery kits are also available at www.polar.com/us-en.
When handling a new, fully charged battery, avoid clasp-like contact, i.e. simultaneously from both sides, with
metal or electrically conducting tools, like tweezers. This may short circuit the battery, causing it to discharge
more rapidly. Typically, short circuiting does not damage the battery, but it may decrease the capacity and the
lifetime of the battery.
69
1. Using a coin, open the battery
cover by turning it counterclockwise to OPEN.
2. Insert the battery (CR 2025)
inside the cover with the positive
(+) side against the cover. Make
sure the sealing ring is in the
groove to ensure water resistance.
3. Press the cover back into the connector.
4. Use the coin to turn the cover
clockwise to CLOSE.
Danger of explosion if the battery is replaced with wrong type.
PRECAUTIONS
The Polar M450 training device shows your performance indicators. The training device is designed to indicate
the level of physiological strain and recovery during and after an exercise session.It measures heart rate,
speed and distance. It also measures cycling cadence when used with a cadence sensor and power output
when used with Kéo Power Bluetooth® Smart. No other use is intended or implied.
The training device should not be used for obtaining environmental measurements that require professional or
industrial precision.
INTERFERENCE DURING TRAINING
Electromagnetic Interference and Training Equipment
Disturbance may occur near electrical devices. Also WLAN base stations may cause interference when training with the training device. To avoid erratic reading or misbehavior, move away from possible sources of disturbance.
Training equipment with electronic or electrical components such as LED displays, motors and electrical
brakes may cause interfering stray signals. To solve these problems, try the following:
1. Remove the heart rate sensor strap from your chest and use the training equipment as you would normally.
70
2. Move the training device around until you find an area in which it displays no stray reading or does not
flash the heart symbol. Interference is often worst directly in front of the display panel of the equipment,
while the left or right side of the display is relatively free of disturbance.
3. Put the heart rate sensor strap back on your chest and keep the training device in this interference-free
area as much as possible.
If the training device still does not work with the training equipment, it may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement. For further information, www.polar.com/support.
MINIMIZING RISKS WHEN TRAINING
Training may include some risk. Before beginning a regular training program, it is recommended that you
answer the following questions concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of these questions,
we recommend that you consult a doctor before starting any training program.
Have you been physically inactive for the past 5 years?
Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol?
Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?
Do you have a history of breathing problems?
Do you have symptoms of any disease?
Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment?
Do you use a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device?
Do you smoke?
Are you pregnant?
Note that in addition to training intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine may also affect heart
rate.
It is important to be sensitive to your body’s responses during training. If you feel unexpected pain or
excessive fatigue when training, it is recommended that you stop the training or continue at a lighter
intensity.
Note! If you are using a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, you can use Polar products. In theory
interference to pacemaker caused by Polar products should not be possible. In practice no reports exist to suggest anyone ever having experienced interference. We cannot however issue an official guarantee on our
products’ suitability with all pacemakers or other implanted devices due to the variety of devices available. If
you have any doubts, or if you experience any unusual sensations while using Polar products, please consult
your physician or contact the implanted electronic device manufacturer to determine safety in your case.
If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with your skin or if you suspect an allergic reaction
due to using the product, check the listed materials in Technical Specifications. To avoid any skin reaction to
71
the heart rate sensor, wear it over a shirt, but moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure flawless
operation.
The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a black color to come off the heart rate
sensor’s surface, possibly staining light-colored clothes. If you use perfume or insect repellent on your skin,
you must ensure that it does not come into contact with the training device or the heart rate sensor.
