With Runtastic, Adidas arrives in new technologies – Le Vif

For the boss of Adidas, Herbert Hainer, this investment is an important step “in our journey to allow for new sporting experiences operating globally.” Adidas is still poorly represented in new technologies in the world of sports that allow for example a smartphone to become a real trainer.

Born in 2009 near Linz, Austria, has recorded more Runtastic 140 million downloads and has 70 million registered users, according to Adidas.

The company was until now 50.1% owned by a subsidiary of the German group Axel Springer (publishers of large-circulation newspapers), an investor and the founders. The application is available in 18 languages.

Between gadgets and new technologies, for example Runtastic also proposes to count its pumps by touching the screen with the tip of the nose to measure heart rate through the sensor the camera or get distracted during the session with stories of 30 to 40 minutes, with music and ambient sounds.
