SMARTPHONE TECHNOLOGY TO MANAGE YOUR HEALTH WHAT INFORMATION CAN FITLAB TEST PROVIDE ME? Fitlab provides you with immediate information about your fitness and your mental state before specific performance situations, such as training sessions and sport competitions, academic exams, interviews and work meetings, or artistic shows. To do so, Fitlab Test offers a stress index based on heart variability parameters, as well as on cognitive and behavioral information, such as your mood, your effort perceptions or your specific recovery behavior. In addition, you can compare your indexes with the results obtained in similar situations by high-level athletes and qualified professionals. HOW CAN FITLAB TEST HELP ME? Fitlab Test can help you understand the factors that affect your sport, academic or work performance. For example, you can analyze individually how your mood states affect your everyday recovery behavior on your stress index. By this way you can obtain conclusions about how to improve your performance. HOW DOES IT WORK? A complete Fitlab Test assessment will take you 5 minutes. The cognitive and behavioral tests must be filled in interactively on the screen itself. The HRV test offers different register possibilities depending on the device model: 1.Through a heart rate chest band connected via Bluetooth (iPhone4s or later; iPod Touch5 16/32/64GB; iPad3 or later). 2.Through your video camera (iPhone4 or later; iPod Touch5 32 GB).

Runnerd is a running coach and a serious analytics app in one. It builds a plan around your goal, explains every recommendation and works with the runs you've already logged. No subscription. No account. No compromises. HOW IT WORKS Connect Apple Health and Runnerd reads your past runs, whether they came from your Apple Watch, your iPhone or another running app. No blank slate: Runnerd knows where you stand from day one. Keep tracking with whatever you use today. Set a goal, like your next half marathon, and pick a coach. The Patient One builds up carefully, The Ambitious One pushes harder, and The Balanced One sits in between. The difference shows up in your plan, not just in the tone. Runnerd maps out every week until race day and schedules more of the run types you enjoy. You can add your own runs whenever you like. Each morning, your coach checks the plan against your readiness. After each run, it reviews how it went. Ahead of your goal? It'll tell you. Goal asking for more than your coach allows? It'll tell you that too. FOR NERDS WHO RUN Fitness, fatigue and form, running economy, intensity, training load: Runnerd shows whether your training is working and explains every term along the way. It's all built on proven sports science, not AI: Banister for fitness and form, Daniels VDOT for training paces and predictions, Karvonen for heart rate zones. IPHONE AND MAC Check in on your iPhone, dig deeper on your Mac with a native Mac app. Your data syncs through your private iCloud. Runnerd collects nothing and runs no servers. AND THE DETAILS Shoe mileage with a heads-up before a pair wears out. Personal bests, spotted automatically. Running partners. Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Share runs, weeks and personal bests as images. FREE, WITH A ONE-TIME PRO UPGRADE Runnerd is free to use. Pro adds race predictions, running technique analysis, GPX export and The Ambitious One. One purchase covers iPhone and Mac.
