ELLIPTICAL TRAINER OR CROSS TRAINER

       Stationary exercise machine

       Used to stair climb, walk, or run without causing excessive pressure to the joints, minimising the risk of impact injuries.

       People with some injuries can use an elliptical to stay fit.

       3 types based on the location of motor or “drive”:

       Rear drive

       Front drive

       Center-drive

       For Lower body muscles workout: target glutes, hamstrings and calves

       For core muscles depending upon the workout: triceps, biceps, and shoulders

      
Elliptical trainers are primarily driven by the user’s legs, and mostly a combined designs having handle-levers attached to each pedal-link to enable some burden on the arms and to provide a secondary source of driving power. The user grips the handles below shoulder height and pushes and pulls the arms while shuffling the feet back and forth within elliptically-shaped paths.

       As exercise machines for running or walking in one place. The device provides a moving platform with a wide conveyor belt driven by an electric motor or a flywheel. The belt moves to the rear, requiring the user to walk or run at a speed matching the belt. The rate at which the belt moves is the rate of walking or running. Thus, the speed of running may be controlled and measured.

       Medical treadmills are class IIb active therapeutic devices and also active devices for diagnosis. With their very powerful (e.g. 3.3 kW = 4.5 HP) electric motor powered drive system, treadmills deliver mechanical energy to the human body through the moving running belt of the treadmill. The subject does not change their horizontal position and is passively moved and forced to catch up with the running belt underneath their feet.

       Medical treadmills are also active measuring devices. When connected through an interface with ECG, ergospirometry, blood pressure monitor (BPM), or EMG, they become a new medical system (e.g., stress test system or cardiopulmonary rehabilitation system) and can also be equipped to measure VO₂ max and various other vital functions.

       Most treadmills have a "cardio mode", where a target heart rate is defined and the speed and elevation (load) is controlled automatically until the subject is in "heart rate steady state". So the treadmill is delivering mechanical energy to the human body based on the vital function (heart rate) of the subject.


Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a therapy that uses low voltage electrical current to provide pain relief. A TENS unit consists of a battery-powered device that delivers electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the surface of your skin. The electrodes are placed at or near nerves where the pain is located or at trigger points.

PEDOMETERS

       Pedometers are designed to detect vertical movement at the hip and so measure the number of steps and provide an estimate of distance walked. They cannot provide information on the temporal pattern of physical activity or the time spent in different activity at different intensity.


DIGITAL BODY FAT ANALYZER

       The tool measures both the body weight and the estimated fat percentage. Such scales work with the help of sensors underneath the feet that use bioelectrical impedance.

       Working principle:

       When you step on the scale, a small electrical current runs up through the leg and across the pelvis, measuring the amount of resistance from body fat.

       Then, the sensors in the scale measure the level of resistance that the current met as it moves back through the other leg.

       Depending on the type of body fat scale you have, the information can link up to your smartphone or smartwatch as well as any other fitness apps.

       As a rule of thumb, greater body resistance means a higher fat percentage. This is due to the fact that fat contains less water than muscle, so it’s more difficult for a current to travel through it.

       Step on analyser function

       Reading displayed are skeletal muscle pervent, fat percent and subcutaneous ; It utilises 8 sensors on both hands and feet for complete body measurement

       Memory Support with 4 Memory Presets

       1 operation mode and comes with body fat monitor, 4 AA batteries and Instruction manual

       1 year brand warranty from date of purchase


NON CONTACT DIGITAL INFRARED THERMAMETER

       Infrared thermometers employ a lens to focus the infrared light emitting from the object onto a detector known as a thermopile. When the infrared radiation falls on the thermopile surface, it gets absorbed and converts into heat. Voltage output is produced in proportion to the incident infrared energy.

       At times of epidemics of diseases causing fever, such as SARS coronavirus and Ebola virus disease, infrared thermometers have been used to check arriving travelers for fever without causing harmful transmissions among the tested.

       In 2020 when COVID-19 pandemic hit the world, infrared thermometers were used to measure people's temperature and deny them entry to potential transmission sites if they showed signs of fever.
