Polar Owncal, heart rate monitors


Polar Owncal Feature explained


Information on this page is courtesy of Polar Finland

The OwnCal™ feature calculates the number of calories expended during an exercise session based on your weight, heart rate and gender.

Counting of the calories burned begins immediately when your heart rate has reached the OwnZone™, which is also the most effective and safe heart rate zone for calorie consumption.

You can easily follow the effect of exercising displayed in real-time. At the end of the exercise session these units show not only the energy expenditure of that particular session but also the cumulative total energy expenditure value.

Now you know how many kilocalories you consumed by exercising during a week, for example. In addition, in certain models you can even see the fat consumption estimate, meaning that the percentage of the calories burned from fat rather than carbohydrates is calculated.

In health-related exercise sessions the recommendation for the target energy expenditure for a day is 150 kcal and for weekly accumulation 1000 kcal (Physical Activity and Health: A report of the Surgeon General, 1996). For a fitness exerciser the corresponding recommendations are 300 and 1500-2000 kilocalories.

The Polar OwnCal(s) is the advanced feature found on the new s-series. The OwnCal(s) is an upgraded version of the OwnCal, using a more accurate energy expenditure estimation
