ROLL BIKE: ELITE QUBO FLUID

Hi everyone!!!!!
We are going to explain the Sport accessory Elite Qubo Fuid, it is a Roll bike. Do you know what is a roll bike? Is our ideal partner when we have not time  (no more than 1 hour) to go out and train, or when weather conditions do not accompany. In addition, training in roll is excellent, though, can become quite boring, if we are able to overcome this setback, it is a good method to accompany our training. With it we can do interval training that perform us condition and can do be stronger than ever.

Ok, but many of you will continue thinking what is the difference between a roller and a stationary bike or spinning. Don't worry, we are going to explain with detail. For simplicity, let's say that the bike roll is the closest thing to go biking there, much more than an exercise bike, where labor usually be lower. In addition, with the roller you are using your bike, with the benefits that it is implies.

Once explained that it is and that it serves, we mean that there are a variety of bike roll in the market with different prices and quality. Today, we are going to analyze the Elite Qubo Fuid, of good quality and medium/high price.


Elite defines it our most powerful fluid unit ever, train simply in silence. They are right, it is a great bike roll.  The bike roll has a good quality and plus it's quiet, according to the reviews we found on  the internet (We can't tried it :( ).  It has a price around 200 €, but in this product we cannot have a good roll bike for more less. You can buy at the next link (Amazon):



Our opinion

We can not speak directly to this roll, since none of us have ever tried. But, we have analyzed the different opinions found on internet. Generally they are good , many of them talk about how quiet it is and conformity with the purchase, so our note will be good . Unfortunately not be more objective in this respect , but the fact of not having tried has forced us to read different opinions online .

ANALYSIS SPORT COMPLEMENT: Garmin Swim

Hi everybody!

Today we are talking about a very complete and useful for swimming and triathlon athletes accessory: the Garmin Swim.


The Garmin Swim is a specialized practice swimming in pool clock, but no GPS, so you can not use at sea. This watch is very easy to use and very intuitive, plus it is light and durable and classic design to use in day to day.

It has 6 buttons, 5 of which are metallic and used for different functions (timer, menu, pause, etc.). The sixth button is blue, plastic, and is used to enter the mode "SWIMMING" and training pages. But despite all the advantages of this watch has a drawback and appearance to improve, is that Garmin recommends that the buttons are pressed underwater, so we have to activate the functions before starting to swim.

The distance can be measured in meters and yards later to measure the training data and improve the functions, the pool where you must use has to be 17 meters and a maximum of 50 meters minimum.

Conclusion:


  • The Garmin Swim is an excellent device for pool training, both "popular" level and advanced level. Easy and intuitive operation has been 100% reliable measurement and data logging. This, coupled with the huge amount of data offered through its configurable screens, allows us to have a thorough analysis of our training. Also the price is quite content, narrowly beating the 100 euros. Moreover, if we consider that the USB connector purchased separately and costs 50 euros. We are facing the best product for measuring parameters swimming, so totally recommend them.

COMPRESSPORT R2

Hi everyone!!!!
We are here again. In this post, we are going to talk about the  compression sleeves COMPRESSPORT's R2. If you do not know what they are, quiet, then we explain in detail who they are and what they are for. 

Compression stockings or compression sleeves are often used in the legs, covering the calf muscles and as the name suggests, generates a constant compression while running. As compresses blood vessels, causes it to be harder allowing more blood and oxygen to the muscle comes, and that's discarded substances are eliminated improving in this way the effect of sport perfomance. However, research has not yet proven true whether it is beneficial or not.

Many people complain that not notice benefits to running with them. It is probably because it does many miles. They are made so that when you take the many miles you remove your legs feel less fatigued.




Well, the compression sleeves that we present below, appear to be on of the best available on the market today. It has a price around 25€.  In addition to product quality, the price is the most competitive in the market.
Click on the link to buy it:

Our opinion

The main difference in the market are the scales of the sleeve pressure exerted on our leg.  With this sleeve the pressure exerted will be the perfect, addition the price is most competitive. If we just asses their quality and compression stocking and not as product generally would surely have the highest possible grade. By contrast, in assessing what the product means the Athlete our note will be high but we need more evidence of performance improvement that these product have to put a higher score.

8.5/10



In a future post we will compare the different sleeves that exist in the market. See you soon!

S3+ Polar: Running sensor

Hi everyone!!
Today we are going to talk about Polar's running sensor S3+ which is an essential complement to the runners who have a heart rate monitor from Polar. The features it has (you can find it on the website of polar) are:

  • Measures speed/pace and distance in career.
  • Helps improve running technique to tell you the cadence and stride length
  • Index determines your career, providing information about your running performance.
  • Shock resistant and waterproof.
  • Ready to meet the most demanding careers.

You cand find more information on the website of polar:

The price we found on the official website is 105 € but you can find it for less if you want. For example, in amazon so we found a price of 90€:


Next, about the compatibility. the compatible with the stride sensor products are:
  • Polar RC3 GPS
  • Polar RCX3
  • Polar RCX5
If we haven't got any of them, we can't use it.

Our conclusion:

It is an accessory that really brings quality information for our training. Moreover, many of the views are bad in terms of difficulty of calibration that the product has. Although the precise speak all information provided as well as the quality of measurement. 
In other hand, the price is too high, and the fact that if we have one of the three listed products above heart rate monitors, is the only way to measure with this products.  If we want to measure from the new Polar running sensor, Bluetooth Smart Sensor running, we can only use it from the two new products Polar V850 and M400, as well as the mobile application, but not from our product RCX3, RCX5 or RC3 GPS :(...... Also, it's cheaper than S3+ (75€ vs 105€). In this aspect, it seems that polar has not succeeded because it takes advantage of the client already has one of the aforesaid heart rate monitors.

Our Rate:

6/10

Smart bracalet

Hi everyone!!

In a previous post we talked about one of the pioneers in the topic of smart bracelets, it was nike . Today we bring a comparison of the main bracelets, according to their characteristics , prices and more.



As we can see in the comparative table , if we want a cheaper bracelet the best choice will be the AM3 . It is the cheapest priced at 59 euros , but has two major problems : First, it is quite heavy compared to others and it is not waterproof in the water so we can not use if we want to swim,

Between 100 and 120 euros  we have several bracelets , with very similar characteristics , among which highlights the vivofit probably because it is the only one that uses a battery as a power source allowing you to have up to one year . Also for this price is the only next to the LOOP which is submersible in water, and therefore we can use while we are swimming.

Finally we found by 169 € Bracelet vivosmart which has almost all features : It is submersible, mobile alerts arrive , heart rate ...

Also noteworthy bracelet samsung is the only measuring heart rate without using a band in the chest, but has two major problems that make it not be the best choice : Firstly it is not waterproof , and secondly place is only compatible with phones samsung.

In conclusion we can say that if you are looking for a cheap bracelet AM3 be your best option, if instead you 're willing to spend some more money both polar as the two garmin are in our opinion the two best options because they are the unique submersible , but if you do not like swimming could be any other good option.



Thanks for your attention! SEE YOU SOON!

Google Fit vs IOS Health

Hi everyone!
Today we are going to talk about both fitness app Android and IOS' operative system. Both are IOS 8 Health app and Google Fit. The first one is the apple's App and after appears the Google's App.

  • Charts: weight, steps, heart rate,...
  • Feedback

In addition, you can connect your favorite apps, the most we have talked about them, for example: runtastic, endomondo,... These get the information about our activity and health and can do better things to follow and develop our track trainings. While not is a better record daily activity than a bracelet. Both are a perfect alternative for who doesn't wants to buy one. 

Comparison:

As we see, they have similar features, but the apple one has a little bit more of them. As we have test the two app, we can say to you that the IOS app is more exact quantifying our activity, although it is truth, the Google Fit doesn't have a bad quantifying our activity. We cannot choose any of two, because it depends on your Smartphone: if you have an iphone you just can have Health IOS and if you have an Android Smartphone you may have Google Fit, in fact, if you don't have any of two Operative System, you can't have nothing of both. The unique thing that we can say is: if you haven't got a bracelet to quantify your activity you can use one of these app, that althought is truth that they are less exact, yes, there are a good alternative. Next, we give you a PDF that you can see the differences of both.
