5G Connectivity usher in Real-Time Fitness Experiences

The rollout of high-speed 5G networks offers game-changing capabilities for fitness apps compared to 4G or WiFi. For both outdoor and indoor fitness apps, 5G enables an array of real-time use cases not possible before.

Reduced Latency Enables Real-time Tracking and Feedback‍

5G offers sub-1ms latency compared to the 50-100ms latency of 4G networks. This allows fitness apps to provide real-time tracking and feedback without any lags or interruptions. Users can get moment-to-moment updates on running pace, heart rate zones, rep counts, and other metrics during workouts without latency hampering the experience. For example, the Fiit app provides real-time feedback during workouts by leveraging 5G's low latency capabilities. This creates an immersive experience where users feel like they have a virtual personal trainer by their side.

High-definition Streaming for Immersive Fitness‍

5G’s faster bandwidths, ranging from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps, support high-definition live streaming of workout classes. Apps like FightCamp are using 5G to provide lag-free boxing and HIIT class streaming in up to 8K resolution. This high visual quality, coupled with minimal buffering, results in highly immersive fitness experiences. Additionally, 5G enables Multiplayer VR fitness gaming where groups can participate together in fast-paced VR workouts or training games. Zwift, a popular indoor cycling app, now supports 50 players together in a 5G-powered virtual world. Such interactive experiences will become more mainstream as 5G coverage rises globally.

Uninterrupted Tracking for Outdoor Fitness‍

For outdoor activities like running or cycling, 5G allows fitness apps to provide constant biometric tracking and mapping without any drop-offs in connectivity. As users move through different areas, their workout data can be continuously uploaded to the cloud rather than having intermittent gaps. Apps like NURVV Run leverage 5G to offer uninterrupted foot strike analysis and running coaching in real-time. This leads to outdoor fitness experiences where users feel seamlessly connected throughout. As more gyms, stadiums, trails, parks and cities become 5G enabled over the next few years, it will expand the possibilities for creating fitness experiences powered by real-time data.

Wearable Devices for 24/7 Fitness Tracking

Wearable devices have become massively popular for continuous fitness tracking as well as receiving real-time guidance during workouts. According to IDC, shipments of wearable bands and watches will cross 160 million units globally. By seamlessly incorporating wearable tech, fitness apps can tap into a constant stream of biometric data and provide personalized recommendations.

‍Image‍

Enhanced Tracking with Advanced Sensors ‍

Next-generation wearables are equipped with sophisticated sensors to capture comprehensive data on the wearer’s exercise performance, recovery, sleep, and overall health 24/7. For example, the WHOOP 4.0 band uses 5 LEDs for accurate heart rate measurement, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a SpO2 sensor to track advanced strain, sleep, and recovery metrics. Deriving such granular data allows fitness apps to offer tailored insights and feedback to the user.

Wearables with electromyography (EMG) sensors, like the Myontec Mbody shorts, can track muscle contractions and exercise intensity. This enables apps to identify imbalances or optimize hypertrophy and strength programs based on an individual’s biomechanics.

Personalized Guidance through Wearable Integration‍

Leading apps like Apple Fitness+, Peloton, Nike Run Club, and MyFitnessPal seamlessly sync up data from wearables to offer customized fitness experiences. Wearable integration allows these apps to: - Provide real-time metrics like heart rate and pacing without needing to glance at the wearable device - Retain workout data like GPS maps, totals stats, and rep counts within the app for post-workout review - Offer tailored workout recommendations and training plans based on the user’s fitness patterns and recovery needs observed through the wearable - Provide form correction, technique analysis, and safety alerts based on real-time data like unstable heart rate or dangerous exercise form

Image‍ As wearables become mainstream, they will be integral to fitness apps, creating personalized experiences driven by users' own quantified biometrics data.

AI and Machine Learning for Adaptive Training

Sophisticated AI is enabling fitness apps to act as smart virtual coaches that customize guidance to each user and adapt plans based on changing fitness levels and goals.

Workout Personalization through ML Recommendation Engines‍

Machine Learning algorithms analyze users’ performance, feedback, goals, and other engagement data to build a fitness apprecommendation engine. These engines suggest tailored workout routines, training plans, gear, playlists, challenges and other features personalized for each user. As apps gather more data over time, their ML models improve, and the level of customization increases. AI can even design entirely new workouts optimized for a user’s needs instead of recommending pre-defined programs.

Image

Intelligent Form Tracking and Correction‍

Computer vision techniques like pose estimation allow apps to track exercise form and provide real-time corrections before injury-causing mistakes become habits. For example, the Paofit app uses AI to analyze exercise repetitions in bodyweight workouts and detect suboptimal techniques. Users get tailored cues like “straighten knees” to improve form. Startups like Forsight use sensor fusion and deep learning on thermal video data to accurately track movement patterns across both sides of the body during rehab exercises. Such intelligent form tracking will be critical to prevent injuries as fitness application development becomes virtual personal trainers.

Motivation through Personalized Insights‍

Leveraging data from wearables and external apps via APIs, fitness platforms can gain a holistic context of users’ health metrics, sleep patterns, nutrition, and more.

Image‍ AI can then derive personalized insights to nudge users and keep them motivated. For example, the fitness social network Strava analyzes runners’ training load and race performances to provide customized training recommendations and predict potential race finish times. As privacy concerns are tackled, the combinatorial power of cross-app data will allow fitness platforms to offer hyper-personalized guidance based on the complete understanding of each user's body, lifestyle, and goals.

The Future: Fitness Experiences Powered by 5G, Wearables and AI

Emerging technologies will work together to redefine fitness mobile app development experiences over the next 5-10 years. Here are some exciting possibilities:

Immersive Fitness Realms with Digital Humans‍

5G coupled with AR, VR, and AI, will enable apps to build your own fitness app worlds where users can have interactive workouts and competitions with virtual coaches, friends, or digital twins of real athletes and trainers. Spatial anchors can map digital assets like weights and instructors persistently into physical spaces for hybrid experiences.

Image‍ For example, Holofitness uses AR to project holograms of trainers who can demonstrate moves from any angle and provide corrections in real-time during workouts. Such immersive fitness realms will make exercising at home as engaging as gym experiences.

Fitness Apps Integrated with Smart Gym Equipment ‍

Wearables and IoT ecosystems will allow fitness app development solutionsto connect with smart gym equipment to create data-driven workout experiences. Apps can auto-adjust equipment like smart treadmills based on changing heart rate or form breakdown. Biometric data can visualize intensity and output on screens to immerse users in the workout. Post-workout data can be integrated within fitness apps to provide feedback on form, training effect, areas of improvement and to optimize future exercise plans leveraging AI. This will blur the barrier between digital fitness experiences and physical gym equipment.

Image‍

Fitness Apps as Central Health Hubs‍

In the future, fitness mobile app development will evolve into platforms for complete physical and mental health. Users will be able to seamlessly access nutrition planning, telehealth services, sleep tracking, stress management, and well-being features within a single app. Workout recommendations will factor in data across all these dimensions for whole-body optimization. Powerful analytics will provide insights on optimizing longevity, performance, and overall wellness.

Conclusion‍ Emerging technologies hold enormous potential to transform fitness mobile app development into intelligent and highly personalized virtual coaches. However, there are challenges to building human-centric AI for fitness, including concerns around data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the need to keep users engaged. As 5G, wearables and AI evolve, fitness application developersshould ensure they design experiences that adapt to human needs rather than forcing humans to adapt their behaviors to technology.

Off Season Cycle Fit

with Nichola Roberts

With the cold winter months fairly firmly set in, now is the time to think about preparing for the up and coming cycling season. Nichola Roberts, our in-house cycling expert & physiotherapist has her top tips on things you can do in the off-season to prepare.

1. Train indoors - if the thermometer dips below 2 degrees the risk of hitting an icy patch makes training indoors a safer option. Apps such as Zwift and TrainerRoad offer programs to follow to add interest and provide interval sessions for targeted training.

2. Train off the bike: strength exercises off the bike can help balance the body, improve robustness and contribute to injury prevention. I've included 5 key exercises for cyclists below.

3 If you are sick, don't risk it. Winter is also a time of increased coughs/colds and viruses. If you do get sick or feel unwell, refrain from training. If you measure your heart rate regularly and notice an increased or diminished heart rate this can be a clue to the first sign of illness.

4. Hit the trails : Mountain biking or gravel riding, allows you to use different muscle groups, avoid the risk of icy roads, and make the most of fun in the mud. A change is a good as a rest. Trail running is also a way to add cross training to your program. If you are new to running, build up the miles slowly, although your fitness may be able to run the distance you are using different muscle groups and it is important to allow these to accomodate to the new activity in order to prevent injury.

5. Fuel for the ride. In colder weather our energy expenditure increases. Therefore it is important to be sure you eat well pre ride and carry fuel for the ride itself. Inadequate fuelling can lead to increased injury, fatigue on the bike and even the dreaded bonk! Adequate fuelling is also key for immunity and bone health

I Cheated

I’m not a particular fan of Zwift. It’s a computer game, a bit of fun and much safer than running the gauntlet of Winter roads in Ireland. For me, cycling is meeting up with the local group for our summer mid-week spin, where we solve the worries of the world, laugh, argue, and have fun. The sprint to the finish line, a signpost just outside town, means bragging rights until the next…

15 Questions 15 Mutuals

Tagged by @cloudsofbespin, @lesfleursrouges, and @showmey0urfangs

1. Are you named after anyone? First name, no, but my middle name is after my mother and grandmother's middle name.

2. When was the last time you cried? Honestly, I can't remember, but it was probably out of frustration rather than sadness.

3. Do you have kids? Technically, I have 12 in a freezer but the pandemic made us realise AW HELL NO we don't want kids so we'll probably let them expire next year. (Long story)

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot? It's practically my native language.

5. What sports do you play/have played? I played soccer/football as a little kid, then varsity softball, but I wasn't particularly good or passionate about either. I started running in my early 20s and discovered I was born for endurance sports. Like, the longer I go, the stronger I get (also it helps that I'm super stubborn). I've run 7 marathons and competed internationally on the track, but I prefer the runs long enough to require snacks. Like, I fucking love running for so many reasons. I cycle mostly for transportation but have done a few centuries, and enjoy Zwift (turbo). I hate yoga but have practiced Pilates regularly for 6+ years.

6. What's the first thing you notice about people? I'm partially faceblind so I have to see someone a BUNCH of times and in context to recognise them, so I totally look for clothing and hairstyles first. I had to ask my Mom the other day what colour my Dad's eyes were as I couldn't picture him properly.

7. What's your eye color? Green/grey

8. Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings. Scary movies just make me unbearably anxious.

9. Any special talents? Dunno? I played flute for ten years so I can just pick one up now and sight read. Oh I'm great at belting out pop songs at karaoke. And I can pick a chicken carcass clean for leftovers better than anyone I know.

10. Where were you born? I'll answer the place and almost exact date with three words: Three Mile Island. Yes, in addition to consuming the blood of others to stay alive, I should also glow in the dark. Tell me I'm not the perfect vampire candidate!

11. What are your hobbies? sewing, running, karaoke, mixing cocktails, cooking, making adventures, exploring foreign supermarkets

12. Do you have pets? a total sweetheart of a black cat

13. How tall are you? 172cm (5'8") and I have freakishly long thighs

14. Favorite subject in school? Science. I have a degree in genetics, I just have never used it...

15. Dream job? Carol Cutshall's assistant. Just let me sew cool shit all day long, please? (I worked behind the scenes on The Great British Sewing Bee for a few seasons and it was a blast!)

I'm not tagging 15 mutuals because I find a sick pleasure in breaking chain letters and also cos I've only been on Tumblr for a few months and have no idea where it even lists who's following me. 🙃
