Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Wearable Technology
  • Sports Science

Background:

  • Wearable smart patches offer potential for monitoring physical activity dynamics, including running.
  • Validating new wearable devices against established methods is crucial before widespread adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the measurement validity of a novel wearable smart patch for running step rate.
  • To compare the smart patch's step rate accuracy against gold standard systems and a commercial device.

Main Methods:

  • Fifteen healthy, physically active volunteers performed self-chosen intensity running in place (low, medium, high).
  • Step rate was simultaneously measured by the novel smart patch, MEMS accelerometers with force plates, a 3D motion capture system, and a Garmin Running Pod.
  • Data analysis focused on comparing step rate measurements across all systems.

Main Results:

  • All systems demonstrated valid step rate measurements, except for the Garmin Running Pod at fast step rates.
  • The smart patch exhibited the lowest mean bias and limits of agreement across all tested intensities.
  • Consistent accuracy was observed for the smart patch compared to gold standard methodologies.

Conclusions:

  • The novel wearable smart patch is a valid and reliable tool for measuring running step rate during running in place.
  • The smart patch demonstrates superior accuracy and consistency compared to other assessed systems, particularly the Garmin Running Pod.
  • This device holds promise for accurate physical activity and running dynamics monitoring.
