Auf der anderen Seite scheint es, dass die einfachste Form der Bewegung, die Menschen m\u00f6glich ist, zu einer <strong>\u00fcberkompliziert<\/strong>.<br\/>\n<br\/>Eine Aktivit\u00e4t, die fr\u00fcher nur aus einem Schritt nach dem anderen bestand, kann heute genauso adrenalingeladen und mit hohen Erwartungen verbunden sein wie eine Vorstandssitzung in einem Unternehmen. Werden wir also technisch versiert und werfen wir einen Blick auf die\u00a0<strong>Vor- und Nachteile von Wearable-Technologie:<\/strong><br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row two columns -->\n<div class=\"row rowTwoColumnsWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div ><strong class=\"textStyle_description\">VORTEILE<\/strong>\n<br\/>GPS-Uhren erm\u00f6glichen es einer Person, spezifische Informationen zu erhalten. <strong>Feedback zu Tempo, Kadenz, Herzfrequenz<\/strong> und andere messbare Werte, um Schw\u00e4chen zu identifizieren, Fortschritte zu verfolgen und die Leistung zu bewerten. Dieses Feedback liefert einen externen Nachweis f\u00fcr Trainingsverbesserungen, die enorm sein k\u00f6nnen.<br\/>\n<br\/>Dar\u00fcber hinaus bedeutet die Aufzeichnung von Daten, dass wir <strong>in der Lage, unsere Schulung zu teilen<\/strong> und sich gegenseitig zur Rechenschaft ziehen. Studien zeigen, dass man mit einem Trainingspartner nicht nur h\u00e4rter und l\u00e4nger trainiert, sondern auch <strong>konsistenter <\/strong>im Laufe der Zeit und geben seltener auf. Was also, wenn es nicht m\u00f6glich ist, sich pers\u00f6nlich zu treffen? Hier kommen Social-Training-Apps wie Strava ins Spiel. Mit diesen Apps k\u00f6nnen Sie jetzt <strong> mit Menschen auf der ganzen Welt in Kontakt treten<\/strong> und teilen Sie Ihren Lauf mit Fotos und einer detaillierten Karte, nehmen Sie an Online-Laufwettbewerben teil und <strong>unterst\u00fctzen und ermutigen<\/strong> einander.

Erstens ist es leicht, <strong>den Kontakt verlieren<\/strong> mit dieser sehr nat\u00fcrlichen Bewegung und entwickeln eine Abh\u00e4ngigkeit von der Technik, wodurch Sie den Kontakt zu Ihren Empfindungen w\u00e4hrend des Laufens verlieren und sich ausschlie\u00dflich auf die Statistiken konzentrieren.<br\/>\n<br\/>Das Ignorieren nat\u00fcrlicher Warnsignale wie Schmerzen kann zu allen m\u00f6glichen h\u00e4ufigen Laufverletzungen wie Stressfrakturen f\u00fchren, die durch \u00dcberbeanspruchung und \u00dcbertraining entstehen. <strong>Abh\u00e4ngig von Technologie werden<\/strong> kann bedeuten, dass wir auf einen Lauf verzichten, wenn wir unsere Kopfh\u00f6rer verlegt haben oder die GPS-Funktion nicht richtig funktioniert. In unserer hektischen Gesellschaft, in der wir st\u00e4ndig hart auf unsere Ziele hinarbeiten, ist es zur Norm geworden, immer \u201ceingeschaltet\u201d und verbunden zu sein. Das hat einen Aspekt, der <strong>opfert den Spa\u00df und die Freiheit <\/strong>des Laufens und beg\u00fcnstigt die Bildung von Stresshormonen, Adrenalin und Cortisol, wodurch die stressreduzierende Wirkung des Trainings zunichte gemacht wird.<br\/>\n<br\/>Schlie\u00dflich zeigen Studien, dass spezifisches Feedback zwar f\u00fcr manche motivierend sein kann, bei schlechter Leistung jedoch zu <strong>verminderte Motivation<\/strong>. Schrittz\u00e4hler und Aktivit\u00e4tstracker weisen nachweislich Abweichungen von bis zu 20% auf, daher ist es wichtig, <strong>diese Statistiken mit Vorsicht genie\u00dfen<\/strong>.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/>Laufen ist ein <strong>hochgradig individualisierte Erfahrung<\/strong>.

It\u2019s become the norm to be forever \u201cswitched-on\u201d and connected in busy societies where we are always working fiercely toward goals. There is an aspect of this that \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;sacrifices the fun and freedom \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;of running and lends itself to the build up of stress hormones, adrenaline and cortisol, negating the stress reducing benefits of exercise.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Lastly studies show that although specific feedback can be motivating for some, when performance is poor, this feedback can lead to \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;reduced motivation\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;. Step counters and activity trackers have been found to be off by up to 20%, therefore it\u2019s important \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;to take these statistics on board with a grain of salt\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Running is a \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;highly individualised experience\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;.

So let\u2019s get Tech Savvy and take a look at the\u00a0\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;pros and cons of wearable technology:\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"style\":\"2b\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-two-columns {\"contentLeft\":\"\\u003cstrong class=\\u0022textStyle_description\\u0022\\u003ePROS\\u003c\/strong\\u003e\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;GPS watches allow an individual to get specific \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;feedback on pace, cadence, heart rate\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; and other measurables to help them identify weakness, track progress and Performance. This feedback provides external proof of training improvements which can be hugely.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Furthermore, recording data means we are \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;able to share our training\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; and keep accountable. Studies show that training with a buddy means that you will train not only harder and for longer but also \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;more consistently \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;over time and are less likely to quit. So what if it\u2019s not possible to meet up in person? Enter social training apps like Strava. Through these apps you can now \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt; connect to people all around the world\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; and share your run complete with photos and a detailed map, join online running challenges and \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;support and encourage\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; each other. Making ist social takes a traditionally individual sport and elevates it to epic community proportions.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"contentRight\":\"\\u003cstrong class=\\u0022textStyle_description\\u0022\\u003eCONS\\u003c\/strong\\u003e\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;While technology has its benefits for training and performance, there are definitely some key points to be mindful of. Firstly, it\u2019s easy to \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;lose touch\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; with this very natural movement and develop a tech dependance, disconnecting with how you feel during a run and plugging solely into the statistics.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Ignoring natural warning signs like pain can lead to all matter of common running injuries like stress fractures, born through overuse and overtraining. \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Becoming dependant on technology\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; can mean avoiding a run if we have misplaced headphones or the GPS function is playing up. It\u2019s become the norm to be forever \u201cswitched-on\u201d and connected in busy societies where we are always working fiercely toward goals. There is an aspect of this that \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;sacrifices the fun and freedom \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;of running and lends itself to the build up of stress hormones, adrenaline and cortisol, negating the stress reducing benefits of exercise.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Lastly studies show that although specific feedback can be motivating for some, when performance is poor, this feedback can lead to \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;reduced motivation\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;. Step counters and activity trackers have been found to be off by up to 20%, therefore it\u2019s important \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;to take these statistics on board with a grain of salt\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Running is a \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;highly individualised experience\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;.
