YOUR PERFORMANCE. YOUR WILLPOWER. DISCOVERED. Armour39 is the sports performance monitoring system engineered to empower athletes. The system captures and displays critical information athletes need to discover their true potential. Armour39 is the rst system that detects and responds to every move athletes make any direction, any motion, any position. So every athleteregardless of sport or workout activityhas precise information about their performance. Athletes can measure, track, and analyze what matters mostin the moment and over timeto improve. Armour39 measures heart rate, calorie burn, real-time intensity and WILLpower, Under Armours unique measure that reects overall workout difculty in a single score. 4 HOW DOES Armour39 WORK?
The Armour39 chest strap, made from the same comfortable, moisture-wicking material that Under Armour is famous for, collects athletes information and transfers it to the Armour39 module in the strap. The module automatically transmits this information in real-time to a Bluetooth Smart display device, the Armour39 mobile app or the Armour39 watch. The Armour39 module is the rst sensor designed to store information, allowing athletes to work out with or without the display device. 5 WHAT DOES Armour39 MEASURE?
With Armour39, athletes of all sports can measure, track, and analyze the data that matters most. Armour39 measures heart rate, calorie burn, real-time intensity and WILLpower, Under Armours unique measure that reects overall workout difculty in a single score. HEART RATE A highly responsive, precise measurement of heart beats per minute. CALORIES INTENSITY An advanced algorithm that captures calories burned with a high degree of accuracy. It takes into account nuances like changes in heart rate and body position that impact how hard your body is working. This real-time measurement captures how hard an athlete is working by measuring current heart rate as a percentage of the athletes max heart rate. Its proof of how hard youre working relative to your peak ability. 6 WILLPOWER The true measure of an athlete, it is a single score that reects overall workout difculty on a scale of 0.0-10.0. This innovative measure combines a range of dynamic inputs including workout duration, body position, user prole, and key heart rate measures like ventilatory threshold and recovery into a proprietary algorithm. With WILLpower, athletes canfor the rst timeobjectively measure a hard day versus a light day, to ensure they are training effectively to meet their goals. IMPORTANT: Armour39 is optimized by completion of the Armour39 Assessment workout. The Assessment captures an athletes baseline data and informs all other Armour39 measures, customizing the system specically to the athlete. A user should perform the Assessment regularly, about once a month, to ensure the system takes into account an athletes current specications. 7 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS The Armour39 Module is a Bluetooth Smart device that is currently compatible with iOS Bluetooth Smart Ready mobile devices and the Armour39 Bluetooth Smart Watch.
