N2 - The SHFT device is a novel running wearable consisting of two pods connected to your smartphone issuing several running metrics based on accelerometer and gyroscope technology. The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the power output (PO) metric produced by the SHFT device. To assess reliability, 12 men ran on an outdoor track at 10.5 km·h-1 and 12 km·h-1 on two consecutive days. To assess validity, oxygen uptake (VO2) and SHFT data from eight men and seven women were collected during incremental submaximal running tests on an indoor treadmill on one to four separate days (34 tests in total). SHFT reliability on the outdoor track was strong with coefficients of variance (CV) of 1.8% and 2.4% for 10.5 and 12 km·h-1, respectively. We observed a very strong linear relationship between PO and VO2 (r2 = 0.54) within subjects, and a very strong linear relationship within each subject within each treadmill test (r2 = 0.80). We conclude that SHFT provides a reliable running power estimate and that a very strong relationship between SHFT-Power and metabolic rate exists, which places SHFT as one of the leading commercially available running power meters.
