Data literacy is typically described in a decontextualized manner, and many data literacy frameworks are detached from the “messy” realities of everyday life. In the present study, we selected a specific context (recreational running), specific data technology (self-tracking devices), and specific viewpoint (accuracy of data and analyses) to construct a substantial theory of (one form of) contextual data literacy. The research question is: How does recreational runners’ everyday data literacy appear in relation to the accuracy of measurements and analyses of self-tracking devices? Through an abductive analysis of qualitative survey data (N = 1057), we identified the data literacy actions that runners engaged with when assessing the accuracy of data in relation to their subjective needs, objectives, and life situations. The first-order data literacy actions (comparison and evaluation) captured how runners assessed and analyzed the accuracy of data, and they took place mainly in the immediate context of running. The second-order data literacy actions (acceptance, adaptation, and optimization) were the result of the runners’ reflections on what they sought from running and how they valued data, as well as their broader life situation.

Validity of three smartwatches in estimating energy expenditure during outdoor walking and running
Le, Shenglong; Wang, Xiuqiang; Zhang, Tao; Lei, Si Man; Cheng, Sulin; Yao, Wu; Schumann, Moritz (Frontiers Media SA, 2022)Commercially wrist-worn devices often present inaccurate estimations of energy expenditure (EE), with large between-device differences. We aimed to assess the validity of the Apple Watch Series 6 (AW), Garmin FENIX 6 (GF) ... -
Individualized Endurance Training Based on Recovery and Training Status in Recreational Runners
Nuuttila, Olli-Pekka; Nummela, Ari; Korhonen, Elisa; Häkkinen, Keijo; Kyröläinen, Heikki (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2022)Purpose Long-term development of endurance performance requires a proper balance between strain and recovery. While responses and adaptations to training are highly individual, this study examined whether individually-adjusted ... -

Validity of the Wrist-Worn Polar Vantage V2 to Measure Heart Rate and Heart Rate Variability at Rest
Nuuttila, Olli-Pekka; Korhonen, Elisa; Laukkanen, Jari; Kyröläinen, Heikki (MDPI AG, 2022)Heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) can be monitored with wearable devices throughout the day. Resting HRV in particular, reflecting cardiac parasympathetic activity, has been proposed to be a useful marker ... -
Running free : recreational runners’ reasons for non-use of digital sports technology
Mertala, Pekka; Palsa, Lauri (Taylor & Francis, 2023)The use of digital sports technology has become more the rule than the exception in digitalized societies. The normativity of technology use is also present in the research literature and there is only a little research ...
