Every step you take You can burn calories the right way for a new iPhone application that is free, while conducting scientific research on obesity

IPhone in India this year and is available for close to its people who buy health benefits of owning one should consider have been putting off - it can help cut your flab.
New apps for the iPhone, now also calculate the calories in a day can burn a lot of functionality has added.
A new free download n 'Play on, called Apple's app store available on the user's physical activity in the iPhone accelerometer to track the uses made.
By researchers in the U.S. Designed-based computational physiology lab of the University of Houston is also a player and an iPhone simulator or against users in real time against the competition to allow n 'come and play as their daily walking about the burning of calories to go see.
"It's running up the stairs with all speed - a record - and convert to calories burned," said chief researcher Ioannis Pavlidis. "This game on a 24-hour cycle, and daily tallies up everything works."
Very accurate
However, this kind of pedometers as tools in the same way, nothing new, the iPhone applications are in many ways is unique. However, the step size can Pedometers, calories, physical activity is the best solution. As a major public body for more energy to move a 90 kg person spend a step taken by a lot of steps taken by a 65 kg person is different from.
This game is a limited time in a user's location and activity measures treadmills, but is an advantage. N 'Play as a treadmill in the world allows the use of on, Pavlidis, usually a more accurate calorie count is.
Burn rate measure
The right is very difficult measure calories burned - then heavy equipment for a gas mask to wear a wired to a person's need for the best way. Pavlidis and his team found a way around the cumbersome set of virtual measurements of oxygen consumption correlate with the values of an accelerometer system ready. The right to measure the calories burned to the iPhone were able to check.
Researching obesity
Users looking for volunteers in the middle of the next phase of the program will your data anonymously from a for a period of time to keep track. Physical activity patterns of this kind of large-scale surveillance research in obesity and energy consumption can be used to exact mathematical modeling. "That's how we conduct research on a large scale can make changes of a revolutionary is a good time." Pavlidis said.
