I’ve never used the Bioforce unit, but I believe the software engine that Bioforce uses is the Ithlete’s with some minor tweaks. I can say that I have one athlete who has been using the Ithlete for almost six months, and he has missed a grand total of ONE single reading during that time. The Ithlete reading takes a minute, and it is so simple to use there is simply no reason not to do it daily.
I can’t comment on the effectiveness of the Bioforce unit, but I can say I currently have no desire to experiment with the Bioforce, as the data we’ve collected with the Ithlete has been highly informative. To be honest, it took me quite a few months to get the hang of what the data actually means.
What I can say is that when you get curious and start looking for trends, it can be tremendously helpful. i’m looking forward to doing a training log looking back on the season starting soon. Hopefully some people will find it interesting!
