Two halls were filled at the San Francisco's Moscone Center with latest technologies and innovations in fitness world. This exhibition was part of the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association's convention for 2009, and the exhibitors came with their best new gadgets designed for fitness.

In the first image you can see Ishape, a vibration machine designed by Efi Sports Medicine, which forces the body to make muscle actions at each vibration. The main purpose is to improve stability and power by applying more acceleration or mass to human body.



This is an interactive fitness game, which lets you score points while you chase dragons. It is a cool exercise bike which successfully combines fitness with entertainment. Expresso Chases is great for people who like to have fun an keep themselves in shape, and also like to improve their gaming skills.



XR Kade is one of the most advanced gaming experience, which transforms people into human joysticks. It is great for helping children fight against childhood obesity, because the players have to hit of the wall that lights up with a ball, and this requires some physical activity.

SaunaLite is based on InfraTheraphy, and it combines therapy with cardio training. The basic principle of this fitness machine says that cells exposed to some wavelengths produce more energy than the one which are not exposed. If you exercise while between these infrared wavelengths you will burn more calories than normal exercising. Mild warmth from this system dilates the microcirculatory system, and this brings more oxygen to the muscles. It is interesting to study how much of the weight loss is due to the water loss. The company did not mention this aspect in their presentation.



G Trainer uses a special air pressure regulating system which reduces individuals' effective body weight up to 80% but still allowing them to maintain a normal exercising position and offering them legerity. This machine is aimed for people who need to recover after injuries and surgeries, it is more effective than the normal recovery and it helps people to overcome the medical challenges.



BodyBugg is a sensor which measures calories, and it analyzes if a person is sleeping, jogging, sitting or having any other activity and it is very important for those who want to measure their calorie expenditure and who want to manage weight loss. It is manufactured by Apex Fitness and I find it very interesting for those who count each calory they use or who measure all foods they eat caloric value.
