Discover The Latest In Sports Fitness Technology
Thankfully the Beijing Olympics has not been dominated by either doping scandals or controversy about sporting equipment that allegedly provides unfair advantages. It has come down to good old fashion sports fitness and has been a testimony to the philosophy of the Olympics. Technology in sports fitness is always in a state of evolution and this article focuses on the latest developments.
First up is the suit worn by the legendary Michael Phelps at the Beijing Olympics which has now been released on the general market in the US. Priced at around 300GBP you have to be really serious about swimming fast but the LZR Racer does what it says on the tin with 94 percent of gold medals at the games being won by competitors wearing the suit. Although most of those were actually won by Phelps himself the ultrasonically bonded bodysuit reduces skin friction and drag to a massive degree, however it is only suitable for serious competitive swimmers.
Another new sports fitness product to hit the market is ideal for an outdoor enthusiast. The Overboard Carbon Backpack takes the roll-top concept a step further and is perfect for hikers, canoeist or people who carry around stuff underwater. The material is the standard TPU which is 100 percent waterproof and a new combination of roll-top and zips renders the seals 100 percent waterproof also. The best part of the backpack is the design as the storage is excellent and the back padding channelled to distribute weight superbly. At 60GBP it is a worthy investment for outdoor sports fitness enthusiasts.
If you need a personal trainer who will not follow you around slapping doughnuts out of your hand and yelling to drop and give them 20 then the Nokia Sports Tracker might be for you. This technology comes in two parts, first is a free application that is compatible with Nokia mobiles and the second being a website which integrates the data. The software breaks your sports fitness into sections such as daily routine, routes, training diary and settings and enables you to map progress in a user friendly manner. It is a useful assistant however they have not introduced the feature that delivers an electric shock when you go near cakes… yet.
Sports fitness is growing in popularity in the UK and the recent successes at the Olympics will only fuel this fire. It is good to have all the recent technology when it comes to sports fitness equipment however there is a line and you have to ask yourself whether forking out cash is really necessary for the level at which you are competing.

Help answer the question about sports fitness
Anyone have the instruction manual for a Crane sports Fitness stick?This is a medium size fitness stick, bought at Aldi, Australia. Model number 7059. I don't have an instruction manual and the crane sports website is useless! Would really appreciate a photocopy at my cost of one!
Thanks
OK
FIRST YOU HAVE TO GO TO WII SOTS TRAINING
(ITS ON THE SIDE OF WII SPORTS FITNESS)
AND UNLOCK EVERYTHING
AND ONCE YOU DO UNLOCK EVERYTHING GO BACK TO WII FITNESS TEST AND CHECK IT
TO UNLOCK EVERYTHING YOU ONLY HAVE TO PLAY ONE EACH GAME
SO FINISH THE FIRST ONE JUST CLIKC TE ONE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE ONE YOU JUST PLAYED
Your score is based on how well you did in ALL THREE challenges.
And… the best "age" that you can get is actually "20"… NOT "22" like someone else said.
So… if you just PRACTICE those challenges a lot and then take the "Fitness Test"… you'll get an age of 20 in no time!!
It doesn't have anything to do with HOW LONG it takes you… just HOW WELL you do.
Personal trainer or fitness instructor come to mind. You might develop your own program and/or do research. Of course you could become a teacher in either the public or private sector.
* Boxing: Great overall workout that focuses mainly on upper body.
* Karate/Tae Kwon Do: Great overall workout that focuses on upper body, lower body and flexibility.
* Soccer: Even the practise sessions for soccer are intense and you work your whole body.
* Rowing: As already said. It works your whole body mainly focusing on your back, biceps, abs, legs and butt.
* Cycling: Have you ever seen a unfit cyclist in tour de france. No… great for cardio and overall workout.
You said that you know all sports are good for fitness but you really need to find one that you enjoy as not only will you continue doing it but you will train harder and longer. Plus you will have fun whilst getting fit!
of course it is worth studying if u are really into it.
It was part of the spirit of the time, the literature and just what people were focused on. Ever seen that movie "Road to Wellville?" That is loosely based on the way people thought back then.
I am not aware that any jurisdictions require a license to be a personal trainer.
It is a question of whether you have the background to get a job at a gym or to attract clients.
