@life at Cooper Running Test Events All over Slovenia as a Companion, Activity Promoter, and an Added Value

Various different sports associations and clubs will organize a large amount of Cooper running tests all over Slovenia. The @life team will be present as well.

The @life solution, consisting of web portal (www.a-life.eu.com) and a mobile application for smart phones, is designed for a broad range of users. It offers you to monitor your exercises, perform tests, measurements, create custom made programs, and much more – a more detailed functioning will be presented to you by the @life team at Cooper running test events throughout Slovenia.

The Cooper running test is a simple test of your aerobic capabilities which is used to determine the endurance and psychic reactions of the body during the preparation to a match. In 1968, Dr. Kenneth Cooper examined the well-being of 15,146 individuals for six months. The individuals were participants of the training program in five different United States Air Force bases. Together with other doctors he discovered that they need to medically check every individual, who wishes to engage in exercise or endurance training before the actual beginning of training. The main purpose of these examinations was to detect any lung and cardiovascular problems that could cause the training to become dangerous.

The @life application is designed for the owners of smart phones (Android, iPhone, Blackberry). We recommend that all potential participants install the mobile application on their phones before arriving to the event. Find the application in Google Play, iTunes, or BlackBerry World under the name '@life – Feel a life' and install it on your phone. We will provide Polar belts which you will be able to borrow at the event to test the application. It is used to monitor your heart rate during a Cooper test or any other activity. We will also present all other functions of the application and synchronization with the portal, which provides a more transparent look into completed activities and tests.

We recommend a free registration to @life portal (www.a-life.eu.com) for @life users and those who do not have smart phones. The portal offers manual input of activities and measurements, selection of the program based on templates from the departments of Sports and Medicine, monitoring of progress through a medical program, and many other possibilities. The portal also offers a graphic insight into the running endurance change, and allows you to print a sport card.

The @life team wishes to ensure professional testing and monitoring of progress or regress to all interested runners and, with that, guide you to improve your physical fitness in the right way. Take advantage of numerous running events taking place throughout Slovenia and check your running endurance with a Cooper test, which, according to our experience, provides the most accurate results.
