A popular trend in health and wellness today is the increasing focus on high-intensity interval training (HIIT). This training consists of working, resting, and working again at a heart rate of 80-95%.
It is said to improve heart health, increase fat loss, and strengthen the body. Effective and practical, HIIT is very flexible in terms of time.
Sports training is a balancing act for many people who strive to lead a healthy lifestyle that is compatible with work.
When it comes to health and wellness programs, trends are increasingly showing that people are demanding that such programs be part of their employee benefits.
Technology Shift
The sports industry is no stranger to technology trends. Every day we see new advances in technology, from smart stadiums with built-in cameras, digital signage and Wi-Fi to wearable technology such as smartwatches, GPS and even vibrating yoga pants that correct your postures.
In the coming year, the way we watch sports will also change as people watch events on mobile devices. Companies are investing in innovative developments to offer users an optimal viewing experience.
This shift to mobile engagement indicates that mobile devices are becoming the status quo, which helps explain the emergence of countless new fitness apps every year.
Virtual sports worlds
Another trend that is set to disrupt the sports industry as we know it is the growing investment in virtual reality (VR) and eSports.
The more powerful simulation of reality in VR means that users can connect through unlimited activities and adventures. Esports treats video games as a form of competition, simulating the experience of watching a professional sporting event.
