AI may help shorten workouts to 20 minutes and still unlock 'fountain of youth'

FOX News

Doctors believe Artificial Intelligence is now saving lives, after a major advancement in breast cancer screenings. A.I. is detecting early signs of the disease, in some cases years before doctors would find the cancer on a traditional scan. Artificial intelligence could hold the key to "the fountain of youth" for America's aging population, as AI-powered fitness equipment stakes a bigger claim in the world of health, according to the CEO of a high-tech gym franchise. When COVID-19 pandemic restrictions kept Americans from public spaces, including gyms, people flocked to innovative ways to stay in shape, including downloading apps such as FitnessAI, which generates personalized workouts using AI, or buying personal expensive AI-powered equipment. The Exercise Coach, which has fitness studios across the country and overseas in Japan, has risen in popularity since 2020 by the tune of 125%, according to the company's CEO Brian Cygan.


Albumin as a Blood Biomarker of Aging

The application of artificial intelligence to the study of aging in 2013 led to the development of tools for measuring biological age and predicting mortality, which is defined as the frequency of death in a defined population during a specified interval [1]. Public access to these tools creates the opportunity for self-studies, allowing individuals to gain insights into how their bodies would respond to diet, lifestyle, exercise, and supplementation interventions aimed at changing their biological ages or risks of death. In 2013, Steve Horvath developed a highly accurate artificial intelligence-driven method of determining biological age [2]. This long-awaited development ushered in a new era of aging research. For the first time, it enabled researchers in academia and industry to measure the results of their work in terms of changes in biological age. For example, in 2019, Dr. Greg Fahy and his colleagues carried out an experiment aimed at regenerating the thymus.


The Morning After: Peloton reveals its smart camera for strength training

Engadget

You can't keep a fitness company down. Following some rough financial news from one of the companies that thrived during the pandemic as many took up at-home workouts, Peloton is looking to bounce back, like a burpee, but more business-like. It just announced the Peloton Guide, a strength-training camera system that looks like Kinect, hooks up to your TV and uses machine learning to understand your movements. The movement tracker feature is compatible with hundreds of existing Peloton strength classes. The idea is to encourage users to carry out all of the exercises in a class and keep up with instructors (but it's not a big deal if you can't stick to the instructor's pace).
