The data items that support detection include running and cycling, detailed introductions are as follows:
1. The pebble mode supports detecting cadence. It refers to the frequency of footsteps during walking or running, representing the number of times the legs alternate per unit of time. It is crucial in determining walking or running speed, expressed in steps per second. In race walking, cadence can reach 3.5 to 3.7 steps per second, while in sprinting it can reach 4.6 to 5.1 steps per second. Cadence is primarily influenced by the flexibility of the nervous system, the percentage of fast-twitch muscle fibers in the muscles, the coordination of the motor organs, muscle strength and contraction speed. These factors are largely innate but can be improved through scientific training;
2. The pebble mode supports detecting pace. Running styles with relatively high cadence are often referred to as cadence running while those with larger stride lengths are known as stride length running. Among elite runners, stride length is the key factor determining performance. When the pace is fast and the cadence is too low, it indicates a larger stride length, which increases the risk of injury. When the pace is slow and the cadence is too high, it indicates a smaller stride length, resulting in lower running efficiency;
Note:
Pace = Cadence * Stride Length
3. The pebble mode supports detecting ground contact time which refers to the time it takes for a single foot's sole to make contact with and completely leave the ground during running, measured in milliseconds per footstrike;
4. The pebble mode supports detecting flight time the duration over which the foot is simultaneously in the air over running, measured in milliseconds;
5. The pebble mode supports detecting ground contact to flight ratio, the ratio of ground contact time to flight time during running;
6. The pebble mode supports detecting the pronation range. It reflects the inward rotation angle of the foot from initial ground contact to the start of push-off. Rotation angles range between 5° to 25°, as extremes can increase the risk of sports injuries;
7. The pebble mode supports detecting landing techniques that are categorized as full-foot landing, forefoot landing, or heel landing;
8. The pebble mode supports detecting impact force at landing, the force experienced by the foot upon landing on the ground, which is also a potential factor contributing to sports injuries. Upon landing, the impact force can be approximately 1.15 times body weight, and upon full support, it will reach 2.0 to 3.0 times body weight. However, reducing running speed by 30 seconds per minute increases the force by 0.5 to 0.6 times body weight;
9. The pebble mode supports detecting pedal cadence. It is measured by the number of pedal revolutions per minute.
