he alth and technology have definitely given each other the hand with the advent of smartwatches and other wearables or wearable devices , such as quantifying bracelets Of course, all this technology was already present in mobile phones with sensors GPSto locate the user and find out data such as speed or direction, and other issues that help to calculate the calorie consumption of an exercise or sports practiceBut how to measure all this exercise? And most importantly how to leave a safe record to be able to check the evolution or the plan followed? Now Google provides a quick answer to these two questions: Google Fit
This is the application created by Google to record all activity and workouts sports user. Of course, until now, it only served as a notebook to jot down these questions, without really being useful and capable during their own training sessions, in addition to missing many issues that are present in other sports applications However, they have gotten down to work and have built a complete exercise and post exercise application thanks to their latest update
Thus, all you have to do is download the new version of Google Fit to enjoy the different new features it includes. The first one is the recording during exercise In this way the user can use their mobile phone or Android Wear smart watch to measure speed of running, walking or cycling, the altitude of the terrain through which it moves, the time invested, the steps and distanceruns and generate an approximate calorie burn count around the workout. All this in real time, during practice, and not only collecting the data at the end of the training as it happened before the update.
This is especially useful in cardiovascular workouts like race , the walks or the bici, for which this app can be usedHowever, Google has gone a step further by allowing you to also record strength exercises as the push-ups or the squats To do this, yes, you must have a clockAndroid Wear, which automatically counts the number of repetitions the user performs,and adds it to the final training result. In this way, no part of the training is lost, as long as it is recognized by the device.
Last but certainly not least, Google Fit now also collects other data related to he alth such as breaks and nutritional informationOf course, in this case it does so through other applications Thus, it is necessary to use sleep measurement tools such as the one offered by Xiaomi with your smart bracelet, or the MyFitnessPal application to record all your diet and calorie intake.By linking these tools with Google Fit, it collects all the information and creates charts to display the datathat help to know the user's he alth and their complete sports practices, thus being able to improve in different aspects or simply know their status.
