MyTrak technology automates the process of coaching, data collection, and reporting. “In the process, we had to develop a whole new standard for measuring exercise performance which was previously missing”, said Hanoun, “We created the Performance Index (PI). The PI is completely portable across disparate exercise machines and modalities.
It has been designed to be a vital interface between the biomechanics of exercise that are generated mostly by exercise machines and a meaningful metric for health professionals to use in concert with other vital measurements such as blood pressure, cholesterol level, and the like. The PI adds the hitherto missing data on a person’s fitness state to the total health equation. “But most importantly”, added Hanoun, “It’s totally automated, our computers can communicate directly to a health provider’s or employer’s computers and thus relieve the burden of paperwork.
Enter The Third Wave in Exercise MotivationMyTrak is thus the third wave in exercise motivation. It is a fully automatic objective exercise performance tracking system. The exercisers merely swipe a key tag at the exercise machine and the system immediately calls up their personal records and urges them to exercise in their individualized “zone”.
