Technogym calculates MOVEs by accurately tracking and monitoring all physical activity and movement through its Activ8 Fitness App, providing a universal unit of measurement for lifestyle assessment. This system is designed to quantify your activity levels consistently, regardless of your personal attributes.
Understanding Technogym MOVEs
MOVEs serve as a fundamental unit of measurement to assess an individual's lifestyle based on their physical activity. Their purpose is to provide a standardized metric for movement, allowing for comparison and motivation across diverse user groups.
The Core Calculation Method
Technogym's approach to calculating MOVEs is centered on comprehensive physical activity tracking:
- Foundation in Physical Activity: MOVEs are directly derived from the physical activity you engage in. This means any form of movement contributes to your MOVE count.
- Universal Tracking: The system ensures that any of your actions that involve movement are accurately tracked and monitored. This comprehensive approach aims to capture your full activity spectrum.
- Technology Integration: The primary tool for this precise tracking and monitoring is the Activ8 Fitness App. This application gathers the necessary data from your activities.
- Inclusivity and Consistency: A key aspect of MOVEs is their universality. They are calculated regardless of your gender, age, or fitness level, ensuring a consistent and comparable measure for everyone.
The Measurement Process
While the specific proprietary algorithm that converts raw movement data into MOVEs is not publicly detailed, the process involves:
- Continuous Monitoring: The Activ8 Fitness App continuously monitors the user's movements throughout the day, whether during structured workouts or daily activities.
- Data Interpretation: The collected data on physical activity is then processed by Technogym's system to assign a MOVE value. This value reflects the intensity and duration of your movements.
- Standardized Score: The ultimate goal is to provide a standardized and easily understandable score that reflects your overall daily activity level.
What MOVEs Measure
MOVEs effectively measure:
- Overall Activity Volume: The total amount of movement you perform.
- Activity Consistency: By tracking daily, MOVEs encourage regular physical activity and help users understand their activity patterns over time.
This standardized metric allows users to track their progress, participate in challenges, and gain a clear understanding of their activity contribution towards a healthier lifestyle.
