Polar RCX5 Run Heart Rate Training Computer (Color : Black)

Part Number: 90038884
For runners, the Polar RCX5 represents a new turn in training. With a sleek design and powerful features, this Polar heart rate monitor prepares you for any goal or any athletic contest with precision unlike any other. It’s like having a personal coach with you at every step of your run – no matter what the distance.

The Polar RCX5 offers features that make it easy for you to train at the highest level possible. Runners can take advantage of Race Pace for speed control and ZoneOptimizer, which adjusts your heart rate zones to make each workout session more effective. Unique sport profiles guarantee a swift switch between different sports, so if you cross train, this is a perfect training computer. Plus, built-in endurance training programs, downloadable from PolarPersonalTrainer.com, ensure that you get the maximum benefit out of your monitor. It even gives heart rate in water with a comfortable, disturbance-free hybrid transmitter.

Take your running to the next level with a sophisticated training computer that knows what you need.

• Polar RCX5 training computer
• Polar H2 heart rate sensor
• Polar DataLink data transfer unit

• s3+ stride sensor User Manual

Body measurement features:

• Automatic age-based target zone – bpm / %- To help you train safely and effectively, the training computer determines your heart rate target zone limits automatically according to your age-based maximum heart rate (220 minus age). The limits are determined either in beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate, or as a heart rate reserve (% HRR). See also Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and Manual target zone.

• Average and maximum heart rate of each lap
• Average, minimum and maximum heart rate of training
• Heart rate – bpm / %- Heart rate is the measurement of the work your heart does. Heart rate can be expressed as the number of beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate.
• HR-based target zones with visual and audible alarm- You can define your target zones for a training session based on heart rate to help define the right intensity. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.
• HRmax (age-based)- The highest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) during maximum physical exertion. For a rough estimate of your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. HRmax is a useful tool for determining the intensity of training as intensity zones can be defined using HRmax. Some Polar products define maximum heart rate during the Polar Fitness Test, see also HRmax (Polar Fitness Test -based).
• HRmax (Polar Fitness test-based)- Some Polar products predict your HRmax simultaneously with the Polar Fitness Test. This predicted HRmax value is more accurate than the age-based formula (220 minus age).
• HRmax (user set)
• Manual target zone – bpm / %- This feature enables you to define the target zone as you want and is suitable for your training. You can set the target zone for your training as beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage of your maximum heart rate, or as a percentage of your heart rate reserve (HRR%).
• Polar Fitness Test- Polar Fitness Test measures your aerobic fitness at rest in just five minutes. The result, Polar OwnIndex, evaluates your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). With the Polar Fitness Test you can measure your aerobic fitness by yourself, automatically and without any exertion. All you need is your training computer. The Polar Fitness Test is as accurate in predicting the VO2max as any sub maximal fitness test. The test is based on heart rate and heart rate variability at rest and personal information.
• Polar OwnCal – calorie expenditure with fat percentage- Polar OwnCal calculates the number of kilocalories expended during training. This feature allows you to follow the kilocalories expended during one training session and cumulative kilocalories expended during several training sessions. Some Polar products also estimate the fat-burning percentage (fat% on display), that is, kilocalories expended from fat during a workout which is expressed as a percentage of the total kilocalories burned.
• Polar OwnCode (5kHz/2.4 GHz W.I.N.D.) - coded transmission
• Polar sport zones- Polar sport zones provide an easy way to select and monitor the intensity of your training and to follow sport zones based training programs. Training is divided into five zones based on percentages of your maximum heart rate: very light (50-60%HRmax), light (60-70%HRmax), moderate (70-80%HRmax), hard (80-90%HRmax) and maximum (90-100%HRmax).
• Polar ZoneOptimizer - personalized sport zones- ZoneOptimizer adjusts personal sport zones for every training session based on your current physiological condition. This feature gives you the right heart rate zones depending on your physiological state at that exact moment, making sure that the you are always training at the right intensity.

CS cadence sensor W.I.N.D. features(Optional Accessory Required):

• Bike settings – for two bicycles- You can define settings up to two to three bikes in your training computer. When you start training, you can select the bike with the correct settings for that particular training session.
• Cadence – current, average and maximum- Your cycling cadence stands for your pedaling rate in revolutions per minute (rpm). Cadence is the central factor in improving cycling performance. A higher cadence reduces the force needed for each pedal stroke, and thus improves overall performance. Running cadence measures how many times your either right or left foot hits the ground in one minute. Running cadence is measured as steps per minute. With this feature you can sharpen your cadence and make your ground contact time shorter. This will help you to find a balance between leg power and leg speed.

CS cadence sensor W.I.N.D. features(Optional Accessory Required):

• Autostart/stop- By activating Autostart/autostop feature, the cycling computer starts and stops training recording automatically when you start or stop pedaling.
• Bike settings – for three bicycles- You can define settings up to two to three bikes in your training computer. When you start training, you can select the bike with the correct settings for that particular training session.

Distance based interval(Optional Accessory Required):

• Distance – training, lap, trip and total- Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Trip distance tells you the distance from the latest trip reset. Lap distance tells you the distance of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset. Odometer tells you the cumulative distance which you cannot reset.
• Race Pace- Race Pace allows you to set a target speed/pace for a certain distance. It then helps pacing the run or ride by showing the current speed/pace and by telling in time, how much you are behind or ahead of the set target.
• Speed – current, average and maximum
• Speed-based target zones with visual and audible alarm- You can define your target zones for a training session based on speed. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.
• SpeedPointer- SpeedPointer feature tells you your speed within set speed limits.

Cadence Your cycling cadence stands for your pedaling rate in revolutions per minute (rpm). Cadence is the central factor in improving cycling performance. A higher cadence reduces the force needed for each pedal stroke, and thus improves overall performance. Running cadence measures how many times your either right or left foot hits the ground in one minute. Running cadence is measured as steps per minute. With this feature you can sharpen your cadence and make your ground contact time shorter. This will help you to find a balance between leg power and leg speed.
