This project will assess the effectiveness of live fitness sessions broadcast via gigabit networking. Participation in regular group fitness programs and access to personal trainers is a way to improve the health of individuals, thus increasing lifespans and reducing the overall cost of healthcare. Significant challenges exist in the participation in regular fitness programs including cost, time and geography. There are over 251,000 registered fitness trainers in the USA which deliver group fitness and personal training programs at their local health clubs on a daily basis. This proposal seeks to explore the effectiveness of live broadcast fitness via gigabit networking and the impact of varying the video fidelity. The study will utilize the KinectHealth software application, GENI racks and the OpenFlow networking protocol. Kinect Health 3D was a Bronze price winner in the recent MozillaIgnite competition. Obesity and its consequent diseases is a national problem that is a significant component of rising health-care expenditures. Exercise and even modest exercise-driven weight loss can significantly lower fasting blood sugar, improve glucose tolerance, and reduce blood triglyceride levels. This project will explore a network-mediated method of encouraging and facilitating regular exercise and will document its associated bandwidth requirements.

该项目将评估通过千兆网络广播实时健身会议的有效性。 参与常规的小组健身计划并与私人教练访问是一种改善个人健康的方式，从而增加了寿命并降低了医疗保健的整体成本。参与常规健身计划（包括成本，时间和地理）的参与中存在重大挑战。美国有251,000多名注册健身教练，每天在当地的健康俱乐部提供团体健身和个人培训计划。该提案旨在通过千兆网络探索实时广播健身的有效性，以及改变视频保真度的影响。 该研究将利用KinectHealth软件应用程序，GENI架和OpenFlow网络协议。 Kinect Health 3D在最近的Mozillaignite比赛中是青铜价格冠军。肥胖及其随之而来的疾病是一个国家问题，是医疗支出增加的重要组成部分。 运动甚至适度的运动驱动的体重减轻可以显着降低空腹血糖，提高葡萄糖耐受性并降低甘油三酸酯水平。 该项目将探讨一种鼓励和促进定期练习的网络介导的方法，并将记录其相关的带宽要求。
