Signing up elite athlete superusers and telling their ultimate fitness tracker stories is a new Hexoskin marketing campaign. The Sports Techie blog community readers and followers might be familiar with Hexoskin from our previous blogs you can link to here, Hexoskin. This pioneering Canadian sports technology company’s invented products designed to provide health insight as to how you can live longer, healthier and happier lives. Now go make it so on Canada Day.
Hexoskin Features
Perhaps you’ve run or walked with a chest strap to measure fitness or sport movements and performance. They are normally not designed for comfort as the strapless Hexoskin in fact is. The smart garment is odor-resistant and machine washable. Severe heat or cold will not damage the material, software or hardware, and moisture dries quickly. Swimmers will like that it offers UV protection and is chlorine resistant.
Young and old, professional, recreational to amateur athletes can all benefit from optimizing physical training that tracks your breathing rate, activity level, rest and recovery. This smart apparel allows users to share their hard earned exercise and rehab data over digital devices with a coach, trainer or doctor. Hexoskin collaborated with NASA and the Canadian Space Agency to invent sensors made of textile, requiring little actual hardware in the shirt which measures 42,000 data points per minute.
The impactful Hexoskin feature set includes the ability to monitor breathing, heart rate variability (HRV) and sleep efficacy, then act on the results. It even maps steps, runs, bike rides and swims. Manage stress by optimizing activity levels knowing speed, breath, cadence and fatigue information. Runners and walkers can improve training, pace and heart rate recovery in order to achieve goals and view progress over time.
The durable shirt also tracks soccer, hockey, baseball, cycling, martial arts, weight lighting and more. MLB teams are also wearing Hexoskin’s for player tracking.
iOS and Android Apps
Hexoskin are the first smart shirt wearables sportswear manufacturer to make smart clothing compatible with iPhones, iPads and the Apple watch that syncs through an Apple or Windows computer. Use the iOS or Android app on your smartphone or tablet to challenge yourself by participating in free physical fitness tests.
All Hexoskin data is securely stored in the clouds for free. Access your data by using the app and web dashboard.
Hexoskin Superusers Content Stories
Hexoskin is embarking on an endorsement campaign and the creation of new high-level athlete superuser storylines other users can relate to and study as examples of how to integrate the product into a more wellness and fitness-centric lifestyle.
Top female squash player, Camille Serme, recently signed with the Hexoskin team. She won the 2015 British Open and set history as the first female to win the European Squash championships four years in a row. Hexoskin, CEO and Co-founder, Pierre-Alexandre Fournier, told me, “We are going to publish more content about the athletes like Camille Serme this year.”
University of Waterloo Validation Study
Researchers at the University of Waterloo confirmed in their independent validation study published in, “Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism,” that the Hexoskin smart shirt wearable tech was able to track user’s precise cardiac, breathing and activity measurements with accuracy meeting acceptable laboratory standard methods.
The study concluded, “Hexoskin presented low variability, good agreement, and consistency. The Hexoskin wearable vest was a valid and consistent tool to monitor activities typical of daily living such as different body positions (lying, sitting, and standing) and various speeds of walking.”
Sleep
Hexoskin measures sleep criteria to make sure adequate rest is achieved. It tracks the amount of times sleepers roll over. It can count how long each sleeping position lasted. The Hexoskin tracks your resting heart rate and constructs a baseline of heart data.
The Seattle Seahawks are encouraging their NFL players to understand the performance enhancement qualities the right amount and kind of sleep does for an athlete or active person which is exactly what the Hexoskin does.
Sports Techie, the wearable tech industry has blossomed into a wild, wild west of new products but nothing quite like Hexoskin yet. Their company will is to help people plan life and improve goals. I like their line about being a, “feedback loop between body and mind.” Discovering performance data and learning how to master it are important keys to being in shape and able to perform at optimal levels as needed.
Hey you mountain bikers, triathletes and youth sports participants, Hexoskin has a fun sports technology product used to know more, live better, get Hexoskin.
