The computer scientists have tested their running assistant on 18 people between the ages of 24 and 36 years. They were able to prove that using Footstriker during a run over three kilometers leads to significantly fewer heel-first strikes compared to the classic voice commands of a personal trainer. "After the run with Footstriker, we interviewed the runners. The result: They could describe the new, correct movement in their own words, although we had not provided any information about it. Obviously, they had learned it only with the help of the running assistant," reports Krüger. He was supported during development by Mahmoud Hassan, Florian Daiber, Frederik Wiehr and Felix Kosmalla.

At the computer fair Cebit, the researchers invite every visitor to try out the Footstriker on the treadmill (Stand G75, Hall 27).
