DOHAIn modern society, people no longer need to obtain survival necessities through running to different places and running has changed from survival skills to a means of health management.
In the past decades, running has turned into a competition and people continue to explore the training methods of running. Scientific training is now a global hot topic.In earlier stages, running monitoring mainly relied on the feelings of the body.
People assessed the training situation by perceiving their physical reactions, such as determining whether the training is too easy or too difficult according to the breathing rate, breathing rhythm, etc., but there is a problem with this method, which is easy to run at the wrong pace.
Many people feel that their breathing is unobstructed, and they think that they can easily reach their running training goals, and therefore increase their speed.
However, the heart rate may have been far beyond the anaerobic range, which may actually mean that his physical strength has been overdrawn.Huawei would like to solve the four questionsTo overcome the difficulties, there are two requirements.
The first is to collect the body data generated by different people in different motion states and in different environments.
The second is to collect these data for scientific analysis and present accurate and easy-to-understand interpretations.The first requirement is to invite enough people to partic-ipate in the test, simulate the envi-ronments, and collect accurate data.
The second requirement requires a team of professionals who understand the health and fitness technology, algorithms, physiology, and medicine at the same time.
These all mean huge investment and long-term research and development are required.Huawei is not the first one to participate in this. Technology giants such as Apple and Google have already invested in health and fitness technology.
Faced with these giants, huge investment and long-term research and development, Huawei has chosen to become a challenger in this field.Since 2016, Huawei has established a Huawei Health Lab in China.
The total area of the Huawei Health Lab (Songshan) opened in 2021 has an overall area of 4,680m2. The laboratory supports more than 80 types of testing requests for R&D personnel in fields such as professional research, ecosystem co-development, and health and fitness scenario incubation, ultimately supporting the research, incubation and testing of Huawei’s smart wearable products.
After nearly 6 years of development, Huawei finally developed a set of scientific fitness system and named it Huawei TruSport. What does Huawei TruSport do?First of all, based on Huawei TruSport, Huawei developed the Running Ability Index (RAI).
To measure the running performance, which is hard to measure before, Huawei developed the RAI, using Huawei TruSportTM’s algorithm to calculate the relationship between heart rate and pace to get a personal score.
In addition, everyone can know their current RAI every time they train, so that people can clearly know the gap between their ability and their goals, also, they can make accurate performance estimation and receive guidance on the pace. The new RAI system helps runners in competition and training and solve the problem pacing as well.
Secondly, Huawei TruSport provides a training load, which can scientifically evaluate training volume. It can help runners to scientifically quantify their training and Huawei proposes to use training load instead of running volume to measure training volume.
Finally, Huawei TruSport also provides training index for users to understand their training status. Training status refers to the evaluation of sports performance based on long-term changes in physical fitness and fatigue under periodic system training.
Huawei TruSport can provide runners with a very professional training plan, which solves the three problems of data collection, data analysis, and data interpretation that have long existed in running training, but why does Huawei do this? Huawei’s health and fitness plan since 2015, the concept of health management has become increasingly popular.
As people pay more and more attention to their health, the demand for health monitoring of smart devices is becoming stronger.
Huawei put forward the concept of active health management in 2018, using its leading technology capabilities to provide users with top notch active health detection management services.
As one of the important means of daily health man-agement for people, running training also has a lower entry requirement and can be benefit to most users. Therefore, Huawei focused on investing in running projects. Huawei’s strategy for health and fitness does not stop here.
In fact, what Huawei wants to do is a whole new set of health systems based on smart wearable devices that connect users’ body data and life scenarios, and Huawei TruSport is just a component of this strategy.
As what Huawei Consumer Business Group CEO, Richard Yu, said “Technology should serve people, and we will continue to use the power of technology to protect everyone’s health.”The Huawei Watch GT Runner is now available in Qatar for QR1,299 with a Huawei FreeLace earphones gift valued at QR299 on Huawei's official website and select retailers and exclusively at Sports Corner Store in Qatar
