CORPUS CHRISTI -

Smartfit Incproducts combine brain fitness with body fitness, improving physical, sensory, and cognitive performance creating a fun, multi-sensory experience for all ages and abilities.

TheirSMARTfit exercise technologyutilizes the latest inBrain Body Exercise Scienceto bring you a unique solution that improves mental and physical fitness.

SMARTfit found a way to capture the benefits of sports into a modern form that can engage everyone.

They started by looking at the key benefits of sports that were lacking in the average gym and came up with the most important finding: the Hebbian Theory, neurons that fire together, wire together.Neuroplasticity, the brains ability to re-wire itself in response to sensory experiences, is now accepted science thanks to Eric Kandel, Nobel Prize winner in 2011.

Added to this, they also discovered found that research confirms that exercise is good for the brain because BDNF, a hormone often described as miracle grow for the brain, is produced during exercise and is responsible for promoting the development of neurons.

SMARTfit took key elements and put them togetherusing electronic target games to drive engagement and participation.

The key to performing well physically and cognitively lies in the health of our neurons. Physical training, whether for general health and movement, for high performance sports, or for post-injury rehabilitation, requires the development of healthy, permanent neurons. Having well-developed muscles, good cardio capability, and high intelligence also requires that the electrical system that pulls all of this together for use in daily life must be in optimal condition.

SMARTfit utilizes its own proprietary platformto speak to, and receives communication from, dozens of intelligent touch sensitive targets which engage strike style interaction with players who playcognitive games while in motion. This sets up a sequence of physical and cognitive engagements that literally lights up the brain triggering the development of new neurons.

Unlike other target game systems that utilize a mechanical trigger to turn on a colored target, SMARTfit touch sensors can measure vibrational wavesand interpret them in accordance with the game, the equipment used, or the strength of the player whileSMARTfitstargets are mini computers that utilize their 16 x 16 dot matrix screens to display words, numbers, shapes or colors that are meaningful to the game.

This way players are able to learn motor skills, math, words, develop reaction skills and refine their cardiovascular fitness and balance concurrently. Best of all, all training involves playing timed games that are rewarded with scores that can be tracked to measure improvement over time.

SMARTfithas the capability to store thousands of gamified exercise routines and deliver them for each demographic at the push of a button. This ability to customize the system for any demographic and deliver exercises in a scale-able way is what makes SMARTfit technology unique, exciting, and timely today when most technology leads to inactivity and is impacting health at all ends of the age spectrum.

What makes SMARTfit exciting is its ability to adapt to the skill and ability of anyone regardless of age or ability. This means that the same system used for performance athletes can also be used for pre-schoolers, special education, and seniors. The systems play at the level of the players.

SMARTfit technology, focuses on providing a multisensory approach to exercise by simultaneously calling on the hands, feet, eyes, ears, vestibular, and proprioceptors while delivering cardio and brain training games. This is all accomplished with game technology using time and score to ignite engagement, the key ingredient to kicking off the need for the brain and neurological system to create new neurons.

Without engagement and desire to improve/learn, new neurons will not be created or strengthened. Talent is born and created through engagement, deep practice and master coaching. SMARTfit is the best tool to accomplish this fast and in a controlled and scalable way.

With SMARTfit, participants play cognitive games while running, playing ball, balancing, and doing core stabilizing exercises. They can play alone, with an opponent, or on a team, learning to think under pressure, applying strategy and technique while managing footwork, balance, ball control, speed and agility, all while having fun.

Studies continue to show that exercise has a significant impact on brain function, specifically in theaging population.

SMARTfit systems provide community centersand senior living facilities,fitness classes, which help save on staff and contractor-relatedoverhead.

SMARTfits unique combination of enjoyable, safe and ability-scaled physical activity, multi-sensory cognitive stimulation and social engagement provides a perfect foundation for any boomer and senior brain and body fitness program.

Active Agers have affirmed that play is for the kid in all of us. They report that their mental clarity is sharper for days after participating in a class. In an appealing way, SMARTfit represents a form of time machine; adults get to visit the playground again.

SMARTfit games can be used to increase upper extremity active range of motion and coordination, muscular and physical endurance and improve motor planning.

SMARTfits neuroscience-based programming concurrently triggers sensory and motor pathways, building and strengthening new brain connections by simultaneously engaging the whole body and multiple senses.

SMARTfits unique combination of enjoyable, safe and ability-scaled physical activity, multisensory cognitive stimulation and social engagement provides a perfect foundation for any boomer and senior brain and body fitness program.

A literature review uncovered 22 studies that looked at the effects of game play by older adults. Analysis showed thatplaying the games had positive effects, including improving physical function, decreasing depression, and increasing cognition and quality of life. Some older adults reported improvements in socializing and willingness to exercise.

The concept of neuroplasticity and neurogenesis (the ability to re-grow and repair neurological pathways in the brain through stimulus), has evolved from hypothesis to accepted science.
