Staying on the ball for longer periods of time during sports activities often fails due to motivation. And what is more motivating than seeing your own successes and being able to show them to your friends? There are numerous apps for measuring and recording activities, which Handysektor has examined in detail. The possibilities go far beyond the classic recording of running distances.
