One manufacturer’s electronic playground equipment can now measure the amount of calories burned by its users.
An online users’ area, linked to each individual unit, offers purchasers invaluable usage data including the number of games played, the total number of calories burned and the distance covered by players during games.
Playdale Sales and Marketing Director Barry Leahey told The Landscaper : “This was a natural product development for us. We know that i.play has proved effective in combating the effects of childhood obesity, but we wanted our customers to be able to measure this; presenting these figures to the local community should prove hugely beneficial in communicating efforts to engage youngsters in stimulating activities that improve their fitness levels.”
