Form-Fixing Running Shorts

The Lumo Run Shorts Help Runners Avoid Injury

— October 8, 2015 — Lifestyle
Wearable company Lumo has already put out products that help you get rid of bad posture, so it only made good sense for it to now focus on a pair of running shorts that help runners maintain proper form on the go in order to avoid injury and improve performance.

The Lumo Run shorts are equipped with a tiny plastic component on the waistband that is designed to monitor your biomechanical activity as you run. This means it is capable of monitoring your cadence, stride length and pelvic rotation.

As you run, the Lumo Run running shorts' companion app will convey detailed stats to your smartphone on everything from how long your feet are touching the ground to how you brake and bounce. The software can also offer audio coaching to give you advice on the fly to improve your technique, thereby reducing your chance of injury and improving your performance.

Trend Themes
1. Running Form Monitoring - Opportunity for wearable companies to create products that monitor and provide feedback on runners' form in real-time.
2. Biomechanical Activity Tracking - Scope for wearable companies to develop products that track biomechanical activity during exercise for injury prevention and performance improvement.
3. Real-time Coaching - Potential for software companies to develop mobile apps that offer real-time audio coaching to assist with technique improvement.
Industry Implications
1. Fitness Wearables - Opportunity for fitness wearables companies to develop form-monitoring products that offer detailed stats and real-time coaching to improve performance.
2. Sports Apparel - Potential for sports apparel companies to integrate biomechanical activity tracking technology into their products to help athletes optimize their performance and prevent injury.
3. Mobile App Development - Scope for mobile app development companies to create software that leverages sensor data to offer real-time audio coaching to improve users' technique.
