| Resource Title | The future of enhancing running performance through wearable technology adoption among Filipino runners: a technology foresight through scenario building |
| Date Issued | 03 April 2025 |
| Abstract | This study examines the impact of wearable technology on running performance in the Philippines over the forthcoming decade. This endeavor seeks to address the inquiry: What impact will the adoption of wearable technology have on the running performance of Filipino runners within the next 10 years? The research employs scenario-building to anticipate future developments that address the requirements of Filipino runners, emphasizing cultural relevance, ethical data utilization, and sustainable solutions. The study formulates three scenarios—The Ethical Athlete, EcoFit Revolution, and The Smart Stride—each illustrating distinct opportunities and challenges in the incorporation of wearable technology. The research team gathered data through a comprehensive review of the literature and expert questionnaires. The analysis identifies key drivers, potential uncertainties, and strategic solutions. The findings highlight the necessity of prioritizing data privacy, undertaking localized research, and using sustainable materials to promote long-term adoption. Wearable technology, tailored to cultural and environmental contexts, can enhance training outcomes, ensure runner safety, and foster community engagement. The paper provides strategic ideas focused on ethical AI, sustainability, and partnerships to aid wearable technology companies in fulfilling regulatory and customer expectations. These insights offer recommendations for a strategic framework enabling stakeholders to create a future where technology-driven performance enhancement is accessible, culturally aligned, and beneficial to the Filipino running community. |
