Sport profiles in Polar Flow

There are 14 default sport profiles on your watch. In the Polar Flow app or web service, you can add new sport profiles to your sports list and edit their settings. Your watch can contain a maximum of 20 sport profiles. If you have over 20 sport profiles in the Polar Flow app and web service, the first 20 in the list are transferred to your watch when syncing.

Add a sport profile

In the Polar Flow mobile app:

  1. Go to Sport profiles.
  2. Tap the plus sign in the upper right corner.
  3. Choose a sport from the list. Tap Done on Android app. The sport is added to your sport profiles list.

  1. Click your name/profile photo in the upper right corner.
  2. Choose Sport Profiles.
  3. Click Add sport profile, and choose the sport from the list.

You can change the order of your sport profiles by dragging and dropping them. Choose the sport you want to move and drag it into the place you want to put it in the list.

You can’t create new sports yourself. The sports list is controlled by Polar, because each sport has certain default settings and values, which affect, for example, the calorie calculation and the training load and recovery feature.

Edit a sport profile

You can define specific settings for each sport profile. For example, you can create tailored training views for each sport you do and choose what data you want to see when you train. See the support document How can I edit sport profiles and training views in Polar Flow? for detailed information about your watch's sport profile settings.

Please note that in a number of indoor sports, group sports and team sports profiles the HR visible to other devices setting is enabled by default. This means that compatible devices using Bluetooth Smart wireless technology, e.g. gym equipment, can detect your heart rate. You can check which sport profiles have Bluetooth broadcasting enabled by default from the Polar Sport profiles list. You can enable or disable Bluetooth broadcasting from sport profile settings.
