Five ways you’ll exercise smarter in the future

Wall Street Journal: Dhruv Seshadri, research engineer at the Case School of Engineering, predicted that, in the future, weekend warriors will gauge the intensity of their efforts with muscle-oxygen saturation levels in addition to heart rate. Currently, only elite athletes use this technology in their training. “This type of data can be used as another tool to help mitigate soft-tissue injuries caused by overtraining and help people safely return to a sport or activity after an injury,” he said.
