• Sleep quality increased by 13%
• 16% more steps were taken daily
• A slightly lower heart rate was recorded on average during running training

That said, the number of people exploring new spaces decreased in 2021 compared to 2019, as moretage people exercise in the same place.

Yet what many don’t realise is that going on adventures and trying different sports can have significant health benefits. Those who explored new spaces alone, recorded better sleep and slightly lower heart rates than those who stuck to familiar routes. ", explains Sander Werring, CEO of Polar Electro.
