介绍:
Wearable Technology Is No. 1 Fitness Trend for 2016
From CRIENGLISH.com
The American College of Sports Medicine[美国运动医学会] forecast that wearable technology[可穿戴技术] would be the number one fitness trend for the New Year after the institution interviewed 2,800 professionals[prə'feʃənl][专业人员] worldwide.
wearable technology[可穿戴技术] includes fitness trackers, smart watches, heart rate monitors and GPS tracking systems.
They provide immediate feedback[即时反馈；立即反馈] to people during their workouts['wɜːkaʊt][锻炼；练习；试验].
Doctor Cynthia Thaik with the College of Sports Medicine says wearable devices are great tools to help people maintain an optimal heart rate[最佳心率] during their workouts['wɜːkaʊt][锻炼].
"Typically when we talk about exercise and the target heart rate[靶心率] we want to have patients' figure their peak heart rate[峰值心率,最大心率] which is basically 220 minus their age so if you're a 70 year old gentleman, then your 100 percent heart rate would be 150, then from there you pick anywhere from 60 to 80 per cent of that to achieve and then sustain[sə'sten][维持；支撑，承担] over a duration of time[持续一段时间]."
靶心率(THR)，是指通过有氧运动提高心血管循环系统的机能时有效而安全的运动心率。靶心率范围在60%与80%HRmax（最大心率）之间。它是判断有氧运动的重要依据。——百度百科
High-Intensity Interval Training[高强度间歇性训练], which began gaining popularity[流行起来] last year, is also on the list of popular fitness trends.
Made up of short bursts of activity followed by a short rest or recovery[短暂的休息或恢复], it can usually be completed within 30 minutes.
Ana Lawson, is an actress['æktrɪs][演员] and uses the method to relieve stress[减压，缓解压力].
"I love it because when you do the sand bell, you take out[发泄] all of your stress, from work, whoever drives you nuts[让你抓狂;疯了;烦恼]. You slam[使劲扔；用力推] that sand bell on top of his head! No, it's a really great workout. You sweat a lot so you burn a lot of calories."
Different from conventional physical activity[传统的体育活动] involving sets of strength training[力量训练], aerobic exercise[有氧运动] and flexibility exercise[柔韧性训练] fitness programmes for older people are on trend as baby boomers[婴儿潮出生的一代人] head towards retirement.
Many of them have more discretionary[dɪ'skrɛʃə'nɛri][任意的；自由决定的] cash than younger people, so health professionals are taking time to tailor['telɚ][(按特定口味、目的)修改；使配合，使适应;(为某一特定目的而)剪裁，制作;裁制(衣服)] age-appropriate fitness programs[适合/适当年龄的健身项目].
Kora-Lee Bruno is a trainer creating personalized['pə:sənəlaizd][个性化] programmes for her clients.
She uses a body composition scanning machine[身体成分扫描机器], which can help outline a plan of action for weight loss[减肥] though it doesn't just focus on weight.
"We use a really cool tool here. It's called the InBody machine. It measures body composition and analysis. It gives us numbers in percentage of fat, bone, muscle and water in a person. It measures it on an individual basis and this is really cool for us as trainers to use to track a client's progress[追踪;跟踪客户的进展] as opposed to just monitoring their weight alone."
Yoga ranks number ten[瑜伽排第10名] on the trends list.
As a long-term favorite, it's based on ancient traditions, and using specific body postures[特定的身体姿势] to promote relaxation.
