Fascinating. Is it possible to zoom in and get data from a single stride? In other words, what is the maximal resolutiion? As a sprinter, I would be very interested to see how the foot path varies during a 60m or 100m race.
Very interesting question - I never thought of that one. The data is certainly there, but it's just a question of having the capability within the interface. It doesn't seem possible right now - the most you could manually zoom in would be using the two sliders at the bottom. I think you could theoretically get those down to 1s somehow, but I don't know about the granularity of step-by-step. With a very short activity (in terms of the recorded data length) I think you could zoom in easier since the graph on the bottom would be much more stretched out. I would think you could get a decent relative comp between the beginning and the end, but I don't know how you would isolate stride by stride. I can pass along your question to the tech guys at Stryd. Maybe a new market for their product?
1 sec intervalls are useful but individual strides (about 0.2s) would allow for much better analysis. Please do pass it along, I can think of so many usecases for sprinters. Thanks a lot.@@MikeP-RTR
@@retroathlete5814 Will do. I was also thinking about broader usages when I first got it. I was interested in inline speedskating and if it would work there (it sort of does!) and possibly nordic skiing too. There's definitely other avenues where the technology - especially the portability of it - could be applied.
Discovering and/or tracking imbalances in your stride through changes in training, injury - onset & recovery, testing the effect of "super" shoes, determining if you are favoring one side or another when running either uphill or downhill. Just to name a few. If something seems way off perhaps you could work on some specific strength training modalities and see if that results in any changes/improvement.
