| Today adidas and Samsung, announced their strategic partnership and unveiled the first product initiative as a result of the collaboration, called miCoach. miCoach is a real-time cell phone and fitness training system designed to motivate, inspire and enable athletes at all levels to reach their training goals, whatever they may be. It is the most advanced interactive training system by collecting and turning personal data into individual training plans based on one’s fitness level and specific goals. This unique partnership combines the expertise of Samsung in mobile technology and communications with adidas’ leadership in innovation for sport. Research and development for miCoach began over two years ago between the adidas Innovation Team and Samsung, with the objective of creating the most advanced and customizable training product in the marketplace. |  |
With input from the Athletes’ Performance Institute (API), an elite training and sport research centre based at Arizona State University, miCoach is like having your own personal coach with you on every run; a coach who knows exactly what you want to accomplish and exactly how to help you get there.
The miCoach system contains five key components which combined provide personalised audible feedback; the miCoach Samsung phone, a heart rate monitor, a stride sensor chip to fit all adidas running footwear, compatible adidas apparel and the miCoach website to create tailored training programmes.
miCoach is available throughout Europe in adidas and Samsung stores as well as select retail partners starting in mid-March 2008.
