Huawei hopes to create new innovative features for its smart wearable products via the study of human body movements with attitude data.
The lab's exercise physiology research area is fitted with cardiopulmonary function and metabolism metres, heart rate belts, and treadmills for researchers to monitor VO2 max, calorie consumption, and workout heart rate.
Currently, the lab has 192,500km of running data while the smart wearable products have more than 100 workout modes such as rock-climbing, swimming, table tennis, golf, and multi-functional sports.
Health and fitness incubation
The lab will also provide an incubator for scenario-oriented experiences and service packages including a micro-physical examination, home fitness, and digital sports.
