Due to the influence of the new colon virus, remote work has penetrated many companies.While the chances of going out of the house are decreasing compared to before the Corona evil, in the second year of the second year, "Opinion Polls on Sports, etc.", "Sports of adults more than one day a week in adults were more than the previous year.The Sports Agency announced that the implementation rate is increasing.In addition, it can be said that interest in exercise and health is increasing, such as many people who say "lack exercise" in the survey.
Therefore, in this article, we will introduce Google's health management app "GoogleFit" that can easily record exercise and calories consumption.If you want to start physical condition data management, please refer to it.
The "GoogleFit" app is distributed on both Android and iPhone, so it can be used according to the smartphone used.
When the app is launched, it is divided into four tabs: "home", "diary", "reference", and "profile", but the basic functions can be mainly confirmed on the "Home" tab.Let's look in order.
On the home screen, you can check and record "steps", "calorie consumption", "heart rate", "breathing", and "weight".It is important to note that the items are automatic and manual measurements depending on the item.
In the "My Certty" displayed at the top of the home screen, the number of steps can be confirmed.The number of steps is linked to the iPhone standard application "Healthcare", and is automatically reflected when the app is opened.In addition, as in "healthcare", it can be confirmed in time zone by "week" or "month" or "day".
Energy consumption (calorie consumption) is automatically measured as in the number of steps.However, it is recommended to register first, as accurate numbers are not measured unless you register "height" or "weight" from the initial settings or profile tabs.
Although it is a manual measurement, the heart rate can be measured.It's not as accurate as a smartwatch, but it's convenient to be able to measure it with a single smartphone, regardless of a place.The measurement uses a smartphone camera.Press the [Start button] and the measurement will begin if your fingertips are lightly applied to the camera.In the case of a smartphone with multiple cameras lenses, the screen turns red by holding down the camera with a finger, and the lens where the measurement starts becomes the sensor.
If the place to measure is dark, the light will be turned on automatically and the screen will be brighter.All you have to do is to measure accurately, just wait to complete it as much as possible.The measurement is completed in just 20 to 30 seconds, and the result is displayed.It is very convenient to be able to check if it is different from usual by measuring every day.
"GoogleFit" can also measure respiratory rate.Respiratory rate is the number of breathing in one minute.This also uses a camera to measure.It is a mechanism that sets up a smartphone and reflects the face and chest with a camera to determine the respiratory rate from a slight movement.In order to get as accurate as possible, put your smartphone in a stable place.
If your face is hidden, you need to take a hat or mask.If your face and chest will fit in the camera, the measurement will start automatically.It will be completed in about 30 to 40 seconds, but if you move your smartphone or stop your breath intentionally, you will be announced again from the beginning.
Unlike the number of steps and calories consumption, it is a manual record, so daily records are easy to forget.In such a case, we recommend that you set a "reminder".By the way, adult breathing is about 12 to 20 times, so it is a good idea to remember it as a guide.
Weight measurement must be manually input, but it is easy to use because it is simple with only two items, "date" and "weight".You can easily register later when you forget to fill in the past weight.
It can be used effectively by deciding on the rules of measurements and frequency, such as "at home every morning" and "at the gym three weeks a week".
Next, about the "diary" tab.Here you can also fill in your weight and sleep, menstrual period and activity.There are more than 100 types of activities, such as jogging, muscle training, bicycle, and rock climbing.
You can register on either the "home" tab or the "diary" tab.Here we will explain the addition of sleep data.Just fill in two items, "sleeping time" and "wake -up time", input of sleep data.
This is displayed on the diary tab, new records are at the top, and past records are accumulated below.
In addition to the sleeping time, sleep efficiency is displayed in percentage.Sleep efficiency is difficult to judge by yourself, so I am glad that you can check if you have enough sleep.
On the "Browse" tab, detailed information can be confirmed for each item, such as activity and sleep.It can be used when you want to fill in your physical measurement and nutrition in more detail.
Except for items such as physical measurement and nutrition, it can be filled out from other tabs, so it is often used when you want to check the details.It is colorfully colored, and it is useful to check the health status intuitively.
On the "Profile" tab, you can set your activities in addition to basic information (height and weight).
If you can achieve the set number of steps and heart points (strong exercise), it is better to gradually increase the target value.If you don't usually exercise much because you can always set your goals that suits you, it's a good idea to start with a low goal at first.
"GoogleFit" can cooperate with many apps, including running apps, yoga apps, and diet apps.By linking, data measured by other apps used is automatically entered.Running can manually enter the running distance from the activity, but it is more accurate and time -consuming to link with the app.
Of course, you can record accurate heart rate, etc. by linking "GoogleFit" with smart watches, but if you have a smart watch, it is more efficient to manage it.I would like to recommend "GoogleFit" as the first step to start health management easily with a single smartphone.
The initial setting was easy, and the target values and basic information could be changed later, so I felt that it was easy for those who have never used a health management app before.Sometimes the number of steps is not reflected when the app is launched, but there is no problem because the screen is swiped down and updated.
One of the attractions is that you can see the degree of achievement at a glance today.The number of steps (dark blue) and heart points (green) are represented by circles, respectively, and you can instantly check how many percent of the target has reached.As a result, after the start of management with GoogleFit, when the number of steps is not enough, it has increased to get off in front of the station on the way home.If you have achieved your goals, it's nice that the animation you achieved every time you open the app.
It was also good to be able to grasp your tendency, such as the amount of exercise and the number of steps concentrated on Saturdays and Sundays.He knew the day of the week, and he was surprised that he couldn't walk much more than he thought.And I was able to make it a chance to improve it, which made me very good for me.
I would like to mention that it was good to be able to record heart rate and respiratory rate by using a smartphone camera.Recently, there are many apps that are assumed to be used with smart watches, but I feel that it is convenient to complete with one smartphone, albeit simple.
Heart rate and respiratory rate are difficult to be aware of even if they are different from usual.Although I am not told that my doctor needs to be careful, it was safe to be able to accumulate information by visualizing them into numbers.It can be said that it is perfect for those who want to take care of their health easily.
Finally, I will introduce the setting procedure.First, download and start the app.If you already have a Google account, the account will be displayed, so continue or select another account.
The number of steps is automatically synchronized, so if you are using it, it is better to select [Connect to Apple Healthcare].Of course, you can set it up later.
Next, confirm the notification.If you want to use the reminder function in respiratory rate measurements, you may want to set it to [Permise notification].
As the settings are proceeded, a light explanation of the heart point and the number of steps is displayed.Finally, if you select the goal, the initial setting is completed.This goal can be changed at any time from the [Profile] tab.
"Googlefit" can manage daily health while setting a sense of accomplishment by setting goals.I think that each person has a shortage of exercise, such as corona and changes in lifestyle, but if you want to start health management easily, why not put "GoogleFit" as an option?。
