This Apple Watch feature is for all you dance-cardio-lovers out there!
POPSUGAR spoke with Julz Arney from the Fitness Technologies Team at Apple. She explained that by the fall, there will be 20 different workouts you can choose from in the Workout App. Their team has done testing to build algorithms to understand the specific movements you're doing to give you the most accurate calorie credit.
Arney said that when you go into the Workout App and choose a specific workout, such as an outdoor run or open water swim, sensors that aren't on all day are fired up, such as GPS, the gyroscope , and persistent heart-rate monitoring, all of which collect real-time data to give credit for the work you're doing.Before Apple watchOS 7, you could go into the Workout App, scroll down to"add workout," and choose dance from that list.
To create this new dance algorithm, Arney explained that we know our arms aren't always repetitive or predictably in sync with our legs , so tracking this movement posed a unique challenge. To correctly, Apple Watch uses"advanced sensor fusion," combining data from the heart rate sensor and inputs from the accelerometer and the gyroscope.
This accounts for the unique challenges of measuring different body-to-arm motions typical with dance, Arney explained. So even if your feet are planted and you're only doing some funky arm movements, or your hands are on your hips and you're moving your feet, or you're moving your whole body, this new dance algorithm understands that and credits you the right amount of calories.
