Researchers recently reported that those who eat breakfast daily have a 35-50% lower incidence of obesity or diabetes. The 8-year study included 2,681 young adults (ages 25-37 years). Those young adults who ate breakfast only two times per week or less were much more likely to develop insulin resistance syndrome and obesity. Researchers also noted that the quality of breakfast foods eaten was equally as important. Those who ate whole grain breakfast cereals had a lower relative risk compared to those who ate refined grain breakfast cereals. The take- home message? Eat less processed foods and eat breakfast for a healthier day. Fall 2003 issue of magazine Fitness Onsite (www.fitnessmanagement.co m) Page 10. Study presented at March 2003 American Heart Association’s 43rd Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention. |

The growth of "smart clothing" using biometric fabrics is taking hold, as the promise of features, functions, and ease of use overcomes the objections of price and fashion. The consumers for these products are divided into three types: those who want entertainment, those who want safety, and those who want improvements in the accuracy, comfort, and delivery of workout data. Time magazine heralds the mega-brand alliance of Nike and the iPod as the key to bringing wearable technology into the mainstream. Time designated this fusion as one of their "Gadgets of the Year." Textronics, another pioneer in high-tech textile electronic systems, has just released the Cardio shirt. This product offers an alternative to cumbersome heart rate monitor chest straps by integrating special sensory fibers into the shirt’s fabrics. These fibers pick up the heartbeat and send it to a compatible wrist watch, cardio machine, or data collection device via a tiny transmitter that is snapped into a pocket on the shirt. |

Meet the new power meter, set free of the limits of indoor training. Yes, they have been on your cardio machines—rowing, elliptical, stationary cycles, etc.—for years, but now they are ready for the road. Whether cycling outdoors or in, power meters capture the transfer of energy from your body to your bike, easily and accurately. Combining a power meter (to track your external effort) with a heart rate monitor (for feedback on your body’s internal efforts) gets you a pro-level cycle training system. What do I mean? Try this training ride to experience one of the most powerful ways to truly measure your fitness performance. |
