Polar, the market leader and pioneer in heart rate training technology, has introduced the Polar WearLink®+ that works with Nike+. This exciting new piece of equipment is worn comfortably round the chest and transmits the user’s heart rate wirelessly to their Nike+ iPod Sport Kit or Sportband. It will improve the training experience of Nike+ users helping them to understand how hard they are working in any given run. Users can see their beats per minute while they run with their Nike+ SportBand, or hear spoken feedback of their BPM during their Nike+ iPod workout. And after training, heart rate data can be transferred to the nikeplus.com web service. Users can track how long they ran in their target heart rate zone and see their heart rate progress over time.

What is Polar WearLink+ transmitter Nike+? Polar WearLink+ transmitter Nike+ is a dual-frequency fabric transmitter that provides heart rate to the Nike+ system, most Polar training computers and most cardio equipment. It comes with a soft textile chest strap which seamlessly adapts to the user’s body shape, bringing full freedom of movement to the training session. The comfortable textile strap is also machine-washable and with its hook mechanism, the transmitter is just as quick to put on as it is to take off. A user replaceable battery also increases the ease-of-use.
