What Is the Study About?
- Listening to your body is the key to smart training. However, it is not always easy to know when to push for progress and when your body needs rest to rebuild and recover.
- This study combines data from your training watch with your own subjective assessments to estimate how ready your body is for physical activity on a day-to-day basis.
- The goal is to develop an estimate that aligns with how you personally experience your body — providing greater confidence, better decision-making, and increased motivation to complete your workouts.
How Does the Study Work?
- The study begins on March 1 and lasts for 4 weeks, until March 27.
- You wear your training watch as much as possible — including while sleeping.
- Each day, you complete a short online questionnaire about how your body feels.
- The MIA Health app automatically records your activity level and health data when you sync your watch.
All data will be anonymized and used exclusively for research purposes.
Participation Requirements
- You own a Garmin training watch with heart rate monitoring.
- You wear the watch most of the day (only removing it for showering and charging).
- You create or already have a MIA Health user account.
- You commit to completing the questionnaire, which takes less than one minute, every day for 4 weeks.
What Do You Get in Return?
- A personalized final report after the study with visualizations showing how factors such as sleep, activity level (AQ), and your perceived daily readiness relate to each other for you.
- Access to the completed master’s thesis once the project is finished.
- The opportunity to contribute to research that can make future training planning smarter and more personalized.
