There’s no wires to connect, as the pod transfers all data using those little silver patches that act as connection point inside the band of the shorts (which has a similar conductive material): It does not include a milkshake or kitchen sink. The pod contains a 9-axis IMU, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, barometer, and a vibration motor, as well as Bluetooth Smart connectivity. In the back of the shorts is a small pocket that pocket enables you to slide this tiny pod into them. They also have capris available for women (or, I suppose a man that’s very comfortable with his body image). The shorts come in a variety of sizes, so you’d be able to order your specific size. The Lumo Run system has essentially two pieces: The running shorts, and a small pod that is slid into the shorts. While most gadgets I review are hard objects, this one is definitely more soft and flexible. Oh, and then the shorts yell at me to fix it in real-time.īut, let’s back up a second first and start with the goods. The most unique of the week thus far would go to Lumo Body Technologies, who makes running shorts that can tell me when I’m not running optimally by addressing body position and other running metrics. When they launch on March 31, 2016, the price will be $149 for the shorts and $169 for the capris.As the week goes on here at CES, I continue to add to my collection of first-time experiences that I’ve had recently. The shorts are currently available for pre-order at the discounted price of $99 for men’s shorts, and $119 for women’s capris. Currently, the app is only available on iOS, although Lumo has plans to add Android support. The shorts are machine washable and the battery lasts at least a month on a single charge. The sensor is integrated directly into the garment - running shorts for men and capris for women. Lumo worked with Longborough University in the UK to develop the sensors and coaching platform, even discovering new metrics that affect run performance, lead researcher Dr. We’re thrilled to bring the sophisticated biomechanics technology that has made Lumo Lift such a success to runners everywhere.” Or it can be used with a coach to guide training. “Lumo Run can support runners when a coach is not present to help push them to the next level. I am a runner myself and recognized the need to help everyday runners prevent injury and get the best possible form to achieve their goals,” said Monisha Perkash, CEO of Lumo Bodytech. “There currently isn’t an option for self-motivated runners to easily and affordably track their running efficiency and performance. The connected app can give real-time audio coaching cues through the user's headphones. Lumo Run also tracks distance, time, pace, and map routes through the user's smartphone and provides post-run summaries and recommendations on what to work on. Early next year Lumo Bodytech, the company behind the Lumo Lift and Lumoback posture and activity tracking devices, will launch a new wearable, Lumo Run, a pair of running shorts or capris with a sensor embedded into the waistband to track runner-specific health metrics like cadence, bounce, ground contact time, braking, stride length, and pelvic rotation.
