Adidas is one of the world’s leading producers of sports equipment and clothing. Along with that, the company invests in the development and promotion of cutting-edge technology products, such as adidas miCoach.

Adidas miCoach is a system of smart devices and software applications for tracking cross-country achievements during the training process. The system is designed for professional sportsmen (athletes, football players, etc.), as well as for sports and healthy lifestyle lovers.

The personal training system includes a Speed Cell sensor, a Pacer set, and a Heart Rate Monitor.

The system collects the following data:

  • Speed
  • Number of steps
  • Amount of calories burned
  • Duration of training
  • Distance traveled
  • Heart rate.

The devices connect to a computer (PC or Mac), including Wi-Fi synchronization, and transmit statistical data, allowing users to track their sports achievements and compile a training program.
