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 (VO
rest. The result, Polar OwnIndex, is comparable to maximal oxygen uptake (VO
2max
), 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.
