Number of laps, average lap time, best lap time, average and max HR per lap, end heart rate of each lap, lap number, split time, average speed of lap....
* Long term files : The Polar CS600 also has a 16 week view memory file and a total view file option. The weekly view gives calories burnt, duration of exercise, time spent in different Polar Sports Zones. The Totals gives total duration, total calories, total exercise count.
