How can I edit sport profiles and training views in Polar Flow?

The sport profiles feature lets you list all your favorite sports and define specific settings for each one of them. For example, you can create tailored training 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.

For more information on features related to the sport profiles, see the user manual of your training device.

To edit the sport profiles of your Polar device in Polar Flow web service, click your name/profile photo in the upper right corner and choose Sport profiles. In Polar Flow mobile app, you can find Sport profiles on the main menu.

Your Polar device can contain a maximum of 20 sport profiles. In the Flow web service you can have as many sport profiles as there are sports in the Polar sport list. If you have over 20 sport profiles in the Flow web service, the first 20 on the list are transferred to your Polar device when syncing. You can change the order of your sport profiles by dragging and dropping them.

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 also use your watch during Polar Club classes to broadcast your heart rate to the Polar Club system. 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.

Please note that power settings are only available in cycling sports.

POWER VIEW: Choose Watts (W)Watts per kilogram (W/kg) or Percentage of FTP (FTP%).

ZONE LOCK AVAILABLE: Choose zone lock for power zone On or Off.

ANAEROBIC THRESHOLD: Exercise intensity at which anaerobic metabolism increases and blood lactate starts to accumulate. This is the highest exercise intensity that can be sustained for a prolonged period. In cycling this is also known as Functional Threshold Power (FTP). If you have measured your actual threshold, you can insert it here.

POWER ZONE SETTINGS: With the power zones you can easily select and monitor training intensities. If you choose Default, you can't change power zone limits. Default zones are calculated from a rough estimate of your anaerobic (or functional) threshold power based on your weight. If you choose Free, all limits can be changed.

GPS AND ALTITUDE

GPS RECORDING RATEPower save, long session is only recommended to be used in long sessions lasting over 10 hours. When using power save mode, the GPS data is not as accurate as in normal mode.

ALTITUDE: Choose altitude measurement On or Off.

Polar Unite

HEART RATE

HEART RATE VIEW: Choose Beats per minute (bpm) or​ % of maximum.

HEART RATE VISIBLE TO OTHER DEVICES: If you choose On, other compatible devices using Bluetooth ® Smart wireless technology (e.g. gym equipment) can detect your heart rate.

HEART RATE ZONE SETTINGS: With the heart rate zones you can easily select and monitor training intensities. If you choose Default, you can't change heart rate limits. If you choose Free, all limits can be changed. Default heart rate zone limits are calculated from your maximum heart rate.

SPEED/PACE SETTINGS

SPEED/PACE VIEW: Choose km/h or min/km.

PACE ZONE SETTINGS: With the speed/pace zones you can easily select and monitor your speed or pace, depending on your selection. Default zones are an example of speed/pace zones for a person with a relatively high fitness level. If you choose Default, you can't change the limits. If you choose Free, all limits can be changed.

TRAINING VIEWS

GPS AND ALTITUDE

GPS RECORDING RATE: Choose GPS recording rate to High accuracy or Off.

Polar Vantage M/Vantage M2/Pacer

For multisports you choose the settings for each sport individually. For example, duathlon consists of a running leg, followed by a cycling leg and another running leg. The settings you have chosen for running are valid for both running legs.

BASICS

AUTOMATIC LAP: set Automatic lap to Lap distance, Lap duration, Location-based. If you choose Lap distance, set the distance after which each lap is taken. If you choose Lap duration, set the duration after each lap is taken. If you choose Location-based, a lap is taken every time you arrive at the point where you started the session.

HEART RATE

HEART RATE VIEW: Choose Beats per minute (bpm)% of maximum or % of heart rate reserve.

HEART RATE VISIBLE TO OTHER DEVICES: If you choose On, other compatible devices using Bluetooth ® Smart wireless technology (e.g. gym equipment) can detect your heart rate.

HEART RATE ZONE SETTINGS: With the heart rate zones you can easily select and monitor training intensities. If you choose Default, you can't change heart rate limits. If you choose Free, all limits can be changed. Default heart rate zone limits are calculated from your maximum heart rate.
