For running, weight training, yoga and in the gym, you can choose from a wide range of high-tech clothing to support you during your workout. But wearables are no longer limited to smartwatches on the wrist. We've taken a look across the spectrum of applications and discovered some innovative, unique, and sometimes quirky wearables.
What Are Wearables?
Wearables include all "smart" devices, such as fitness watches, smartwatches, but also chest straps or smart clothing, headphones or data glasses. Wearables are designed to support you in your everyday life and can optimize your training by allowing you to access values such as heart rate, daily steps, and sleep quality, for example, and gain valuable insights from this data. Because health is not just a trend, but an important part of any training plan, and with the help of wearables you can always keep an eye on it and respond better to your body and its needs.
