What is it about?
Touch-mediated vibrations may offer an alternative information channel for mobile sports computers (e.g., heart rate monitors) in situations when vision and hearing are occupied or difficult to use during a physical exercise. In this study we investigated intuitiveness of different types of vibrations indicating instructions for altering the speed of workout.

Why is it important?
The use of sports computers relies mainly on vision and hearing, although their use may be problematic during a physical exercise. Visual and auditory attention is often focused on the environment and on the ongoing workout. All intervening or competitive audiovisual information from a mobile device may then distract and expose to safety risks.
