Compatible with existing RS800's, the G3 sensor will be available as an upgrade purchase or as a complete package with the RS800 system. Incorporating the SIRF-III GPS chipset, the sensor provides excellent coverage, fast time to first fix and optimal power consumption. A single AA battery provides up to 20 hours continual use.

Interview with Ryder Hesjedal on Canadian Cyclist. "...I started with him (Juerg Feldmann) in 1996. I've just come back from a 5 day camp with them. I was posting some good numbers, and we were working every day on different aspects of my training, getting ready for Europe. Juerg doesn't just go on what he learned 15 years ago, he's always updating himself with what's new in Europe."

Geoff Kabush interview in CyclingNews.com: ...Kabush's coach is Juerg Feldmann. "He's originally from Switzerland where he was really involved in speed skating and biathlons," explained Kabush. "It was only when he moved to Canada that he got involved in mountain biking. He has a good background in physiology and we do a lot of scientific training and lactate testing etc and working with a PowerTap. Since the end of '95 has been a slow building process. I'm always learning new things and adding those into the program. He's a great coach. He sets our program and he really teaches us how to implement it well. I've worked with him for so long now that I really understand why we are doing things in a particular way."

	PhysioFlow Enduro is a small and portable, battery-powered, noninvasive cardiac output device that was designed primarily to be used while a subject (or patient) is exercising. Enduro is unique in that it is the only noninvasive device that can reliably and repeatedly provide cardiac output and other hemodynamic parameters during exercise. PhysioFlow is finding wide application in patient and physician office care settings; everywhere that accurate, noninvasive determination of cardiac output and other hemodynamic parameters are needed. PhysioFlow Enduro is the first ICG product that has proven useful for serious amateur or professional level sports training. Its improved performance during exercise and enhanced muscle-artifact rejection brings noninvasive, cardiac monitoring to many types of athletic conditioning/training programs. We have been using the PhysioFlow Enduro to analyze/monitor hemodynamic parameters associated with Sport Training. Setting training programs using personal cardiac output and other hemodynamic data optimizes your individual training plan to a degree never before possible.
The Enduro main unit is palm sized and worn in a pouch on the waist of the subject. Data is transmitted wirelessly to a Bluetooth receiver dongle on a Laptop Computer running the PhysioFlow Software. Data can be viewed in real time or downloaded from the Enduro unit for post exercise analysis. For more information on the PhysioFlow Enduro go to our forum topic - PhysioFlow. The Canadian Sport Centre (Ontario) recently purchased an Enduro which will make them the leading Sport testing facility in Canada. The University of Quebec (Trois-Rivières) has a rental unit.

Respiratory Endurance Training improves vital capacity, performance and endurance capabilities in sports!

Respiratory muscles fatigue during sports activities. This leads to a decrease in performance. Studies by Prof. U. Boutellier, sports physiologist at the Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ) and the University of Zurich, prove this in a most impressive manner.

The targeted endurance training of the respiratory muscles substantially increases physical endurance, resulting in a relevant increase of functional capacity. This is true both for top athletes as well as popular sports. The Spirotiger is used by Olympians Ryder Hesjedal and Geoff Kabush.

University of Arizona Study shows clearly that trained cyclists improved their time trial performance by 4.7% (2 min faster in a 45 min TT) after twenty 45 min respiratory training sessions.

The KoKo Peak Pro 6 is an intelligent, low cost peak flow meter that electronically measures PEF, FEV1, FEV6 and FEV1/FEV6 . The last 64 test results are automatically stored, eliminating the need for paper records. (PEF: Peak Expiratory Flow Rate, FEV1: Forced expiratory volume in the first second of expiration, FEV6: 6 second volume. The FEV6 is used as a surrogate marker for FVC (forced vital capacity). The advantage is more convenience in spirometric testing. The ratio FEV1/FEV6 ratio tracks the classic FEV1/FVC ratio quite accurately, and identifies patients at risk of rapid declines in FEV1 over time.) Use these values to track the progress of your Spirotiger training and identify fatigue of your respiratory muscles.

Champion athletes worldwide use electronic muscle stimulators to get the winner's advantage! EMS products help athletes excel and achieve their dreams by enhancing athletic performance and physical fitness beyond what is achievable through conventional training alone.

EMS products have a foundation in medical technology and combine a European heritage of design quality with the most recent advances in science and sports medicine. Cleared for sale by the FDA, they are backed by solid clinical research and data proving their effectiveness.

Research Study at the University of Wisconsin published in the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine shows Neuromuscular Electric Stimulation Training increased abdominal strength by 58% and abdominal endurance increased by 72% over an 8 week period. Here's the bottom line "NMES, as used in the current study, resulted in significant improvements in the muscular strength and endurance of the abdominal region, as well as subject's perceived shape and satisfaction of the midsection."
