so you can record the sport in fashion

The great advantage of a smart watch is not the functionality it comes with from the factory, but the improvements it can receive with an update; As with smartphones, more and more manufacturers are banking on extensive support for their smart watches. The Amazfit T-Rex 3 is a good example of how an update can change the way we use the wearable.

This week, Amazfit announced that the T-Rex 3 is the first smartwatch with the functions necessary for the Hyrox Racerone of the fastest growing sporting modalities in the world in recent times. The watch includes tracking of all associated workouts, as well as post-workout data tracking and a comprehensive view of recovery processes.

Hyrox is a new fitness modality that over the past three years has gained enormous popularity; At the recent Hyrox World Championships held in Nice, France last June, 170,000 athletes competed, with 1,500 qualifying for the main event in front of an audience of thousands. But to be part of Hyrox, you don’t have to be a professional athlete, and more and more people are using it as a training model.

The basis of Hyrox is based on combining running and exercises in an alternating manner, such that you cannot start one before finishing the other. In its form of competition, to cross the finish line you must have ran 8 kilometers and performed 8 exercisesor “trainings”, different; these include 1,000 meters of Ski Erg, 50 meters of Sled Push, 1,000 meters of rowing and more. There are different categories, depending on experience and gender, which modify the weights and distances, as well as the doubles and relay modalities.

When enabling Hyrox mode on the Amazfit T-Rex 3, The exercises are ordered as they are presented to the competition; Just press a button and the watch starts monitoring the next exercise, without having to select it from a list.

It is possible to customize the settings, in addition to receiving important data during exercise, such as duration, heart rate (with a warning if we leave the optimal zone) and the number of calories burned. It is possible to activate the Hyrox race mode for individual, duo or relay competitions.

Additionally, the Amazfit watch is prepared for the training needed for a Hyrox run, with multiple sport modes such as outdoor running, treadmill running, interval training, rowing, cross training, HIIT and strength training. And after each training session, the T-Rex 3 will give us a comprehensive assessment of the time needed for recovery, combining data such as ground quality, physical and mental fatigue and heart rate variability.
