The document discusses the adidas miCoach, which includes a wireless Speed_Cell sensor that measures speed, acceleration, distance, and cadence when mounted in the shoe. It connects via ANT+ technology to an iPhone adapter or USB dongle for a computer. The sensor allows runners to track metrics indoors or without GPS. Maintaining a high cadence is more efficient and less stressful on joints than wider steps. The miCoach sensor helps runners train for and monitor their cadence.

3. Wireless sensor Speed_Cell
 who carries out measurement of your activities, namely: speed, acceleration
and jerk, the distance traveled. The sensor is mounted on the sneaker in two
ways: in a special groove on the inner side of the foot in any sneakers adidas
miCoach enabled or using a special attachment to any other sneaker laces.

4. Adapter for iPhone 4 / 4S, which is a wireless technology ANT +
«communicates" with the sensor in the shoes. By the way, if you
have Cardiosensor with support ANT +, you can connect it to your
phone with installed miCoach. In our case was without any
problems connected Cardiosensor TIMEX.

5. USD-dongle for a computer that can record data to
the PC for processing.

8. Why do you need a sensor miCoach?
 your race lasts more than capable of working the phone with the included GPS
(a bit extreme, but there are runners);
 you want to remove the data on the jogging track or indoors where GPS phone
will build Polylines inaccurate or simply unavailable;
 you want to analyze the shuttle run or other running exercises without
appreciable movement (for example, running in place or exercises described
in the book "within the run method");
 you want to consider training for tennis, basketball, football, where GPS does
not help!
 you have miCoach mobile app user and want to work with him even better.

9. The sensor is able to work as a
cadence meter
 Cadence - the frequency steps while running. Typically, the number of steps
measured cadence per minute. Can be considered as touching only one leg,
and both. If it touches only one leg, the cadence is equal to, for example, 80.
Then, the equivalent two legs - is considered ideal cadence 160. 180 (90) -
touches the frequency of most professional runners. For example, African
marathoners always keep cadence of 180!
 The more you touch the ground, that is smaller than your moves, the less
strain on your joints and higher efficiency running. Wide steps to throwing his
legs far forward reduce your speed and quenched inertia and every time you
need to re-make an effort to repel forward, while small step saves these
efforts and that this advantage is used, for example, within the method run. If
you are a beginner runner, it is the training of high cadence - path to
economical and nizkotravmatichnomu run. A miCoach Speed_Cell you help you.
