How do you improve your technique in performing yoga exercises? Smart clothing, such as leggings created by Wearable X, can help.
Wearable X’s smart leggings are the perfect solution for anyone who would like to save a bit on individual classes with a trainer. Yoga is a seemingly simple activity. Incorrectly performed asanas can contribute to muscle strains or tendon ruptures. With help comes a gadget from Wearable X, namely leggings correcting the movements and positions performed.
What are the characteristics of this sportswear? Leggings are equipped with special sensors, which are supposed to improve the way of movement of the person exercising. They monitor individual movements during exercise, thus protecting against mistakes. The leggings are compatible with your smartphone. They connect to the special Nadii X Yoga Pants app available on iOS, via Bluetooth. Sensors built into the leggings make the garment sense the yogi’s movement and then send out vibrations that indicate mistakes being made and make it easier to get into the correct position. The aforementioned sensors are located on the thighs, knees and ankles.
After training, the app can give the practitioner tips on what to work on and what to pay special attention to during the next practice. The battery in the leggings lasts for 1.5 hours. This makes slightly longer classes necessary, in part, without the intelligent prompts. After detaching the sensors, the leggings can be washed in the washing machine.
How much do you have to pay for such an innovative solution? Smart leggings for yoga cost $249. Deciding to buy four pairs and a one-year subscription, we will pay $ 999. Who should get such leggings? They are the perfect solution for lovers of electronic and sports novelties.
On the market you can also meet with many other smart clothes aimed at improving athletic performance. One example is Enflux, a system that measures a number of parameters based on the use of sensors located almost all over the body. The solution made its debut on Kickstarter.
Enflux uses a number of technologies that are used in the production of sports driver clothing. The aforementioned sensors measure and map a person’s movement during specific exercises to provide data for later analysis. This solution is designed for anyone whose priority is to improve performance. Enflux is ideal for athletes who want accurate, concrete data based on algorithms and properly processed readings. It becomes possible here to locate deficiencies and errors and to provide information about the still untapped potential. The data is presented on the screen of a smartphone/tablet and has the form of clear statistics.
The innovative solution is currently in the prototype phase. The company cooperates with the best coaches in the world, who help to prepare the most accurate reproduction of individual movements that we have to deal with while practicing various sports. Various factors are taken into account, such as training styles and the individual habits of the athlete. Enflux has plans to collaborate with popular fitness websites to bring the solution to a wide audience.
