On a typical exercise machine where watts are displayed as a measure of power, the professional is required to convert watts to METs. Access to the tables may not always be convenient. SCIFIT makes it easy for the exercise professional by eliminating the conversion and providing METs values on the product display screen.

Constant Work-METs is a SCIFIT program in which the METs remain constant throughout the program. Once a MET value is selected the SCIFIT product provides the required amount of resistance to achieve the MET value. METs have a direct correlation to watts and this measurement also remains constant throughout the program.

A clinician or exercise professional can prescribe levels of exercise using these programs. With Constant Workload, they are assured their clients will not exceed the workload prescribed to them. Increase Endurance Constant Workload helps users increase their levels of endurance. Built-In Limits Constant Workload provides an exercise program with limits built-in as a safeguard. This is especially useful for individuals who have specific energy expenditure goals. Keeps You Honest There is no cheating when using Constant Work. If the user slows down, the resistance increases. If the user speeds up, the resistance decreases, keeping them at a constant workload.

METs are a shorthand representation of VO2, and they represent the amount of energy required to perform the physical activity at hand. Therefore, the higher the MET level, the more physical work is being performed. Physical activities are frequently classified by their intensity, using METs as a reference. As physical activity increases, more oxygen is needed to supply energy for the contracting muscles. 1 MET is the rate of energy expenditure while sitting at rest. At 10 METs an individual is working 10 times harder than when they are at rest, and so on.

Watts = Power Output (where power is work/time). If the exercise machine in set at a certain level of resistance, it takes a certain amount of power, or watts, to exercise at thatlevel. How METs are Used Exercise professionals use METs to prescribe levels of exercise, especially in cardiac and pulmonary rehab. Individuals who have specific energy expenditure goals but want to vary their physical activity type or intensity use METs.

Cool VDO features Olympic Gold Medalist, Ryan Lochte using the SCIFIT PRO1 Upper Body Exerciser. No surprise in a sport like swimming where upper body is king. In fact, it makes perfect sense 2 use the PRO1 2 strengthen & condition shoulders, arms, chest and upper back. Ryan is not a paid spokesperson 4 SCIFIT, neither is the University of Florida. Why do they use it? Probably because it has a lot 2 do with results & gold medals. That's why SCIFIT makes it & why we rep it in Asia. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/olympics/18952851
