Remember to Relax
The Polar OwnRelax® test measures your heart rate and heart rate variability during a five-minute resting
period. The result is your resting heart rate (bpm) and OwnRelax value (in milliseconds), corresponding to
your body's state of relaxation.
You can take the test anywhere, as long as the test environment is peaceful. There should be no disturbing
noises. You should not read or talk. You should be lying down, relaxed and calm. Always repeat the test in
similar conditions. Have a relaxation session:
•
in the morning for a general relaxation check.
•
before training to check readiness for a planned workout.
•
after training for recovery detection.
•
whenever you feel a need to check your relaxation.
