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的现场健身课程的有效性。 参加定期的团体健身计划和接受私人教练是改善个人健康的一种方式，从而延长寿命并降低总体医疗成本。参与定期健身计划存在重大挑战，包括成本、时间和地理位置。美国有超过 251,000 名注册健身教练，他们每天在当地的健身俱乐部提供团体健身和个人训练计划。该提案旨在探讨通过千兆网络进行健身直播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 机架和 OpenFlow 网络协议。 Kinect Health 3D 在最近的 MozillaIgnite 竞赛中获得了铜奖。肥胖及其引发的疾病是一个全国性问题，是医疗保健支出不断增加的一个重要组成部分。 运动，甚至适度的运动驱动的减肥可以显着降低空腹血糖，改善糖耐量，并降低血液甘油三酯水平。 该项目将探索一种以网络为媒介的鼓励和促进定期锻炼的方法，并将记录其相关的带宽要求。
