NEW YORK If Kevin Durant plays a triple-overtime NBA game and Lance
Armstrong runs a marathon, who worked harder?
.
Nike unveiled a high-tech wristband Thursday purporting to answer that
question. The FuelBand, with a suggested retail price of $149, displays
measures of calories burned and steps taken that many weekend warriors may
be familiar with through gadgets and apps already on the market. But this
device also counts something called NikeFuel, billed as a way to compare
different activities through one metric.
.
Running, dancing, skateboarding they all earn these points.
.
Nike measured the intensity of various actions, and recorded the
corresponding motions, to create formulas to determine how much NikeFuel
should be awarded when, say, Durant shoots a basketball.
.
Scientists who study physical activity have been using a similar process
with such devices, called accelerometers, for several years to measure how
much energy subjects are expending. Nike isnt releasing details about its
calculations for competitive reasons, so outside researchers in the field
couldnt judge whether they considered the NikeFuel totals accurate.
.
NikeFuel doesnt take into account factors such as a persons weight that
affect the number of calories used. Patty Freedson, the chair of the
kinesiology department at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, said
that made it difficult to compare the activities of different people.
.
If a person is moving a certain amount and they weigh 100 pounds, a
200-pound person who weighs more actually expends more energy, she said.
