  • Tried and tested: 4 fitness trackers to buy right now

    All you need to know about your health is at the touch of a button with these crowd-favourite activity and fitness trackers Like your numbers and figures? Monitor your health and activity effortlessly with these smartwatches and fitness bands – we put 4 to the test and see how well they measure up to the demands of daily life. Polar A370 A sleek fitness band that’s equipped with a colour touchscreen, a single side button and changeable wristbands. The A370 is Polar’s first unit to offer continuous heart rate tracking but one of its most unique qualities is its advanced sleep metrics. It offers an in-depth insight into your sleep quality, differentiating between ‘bed time’ and actual sleep time, along with any sleep interruptions and provides feedback on ways to achieve better sleep. Within the training function, there are various pre-set sport types such as ‘Group Exercises’ and ‘Running’ but you can customise your own exercise profiles on the app and load them into the unit. The verdict A slim and sporty fitness tracker that’s relatively straightforward to set up and use. Best for the casual gym-goer. Actxa Spur The most affordable of the lot, the Actxa Spur is the training wheels’ equivalent of a fitness band. Actxa first produced the Stride as a free step counter for the Health Promotion Board and the Spur is its jazzed-up, upgraded version. It supports heart rate monitoring through six heart zones: Relax, Warm Up, Fat Burn, Cardio, Intense and Max, and shows you the duration spent in each zone in a handy coloured chart on the app. While you can’t swim with it, it’s able to withstand sweat and lasts up to 10 days in between charges. The verdict An entry-level, easy-to-use activity tracker for basic day-to-day tracking. Best for the tech-adverse lot. Apple Watch Series 3 The third iteration of the Apple Watch takes the best features of the Series 2 and plays them up – it straddles the line between smartwatch and phone, especially the recently launched version with both built-in GPS and cellular service. It comes with all the notifications functions you need, altimetre, 50m water resistance and allows you to talk to Siri too. Of course, you have full access to the app store which is an unbeatable quality. The verdict An all-round smartwatch that gives you on-the-go connectivity. Best for busy folks. Fitbit Ionic Fitbit Ionic is the brand’s first foray into fitness smartwatches – it allows you to make payment with your pre-saved credit card and pops notifications of your fancy. There are a handful of apps to tap into, including Strava and the Weather app, but nothing to shout about. Its fitness tracking functions, though, are impressive – steps, distance, heart rate and quick access to workout modes are all neatly visualised in the app. There’s also a nifty built-in Relax function that reminds you to rest and meditate. THE VERDICT A lightweight smartwatch that’s better as a fitness tracker than as a smartwatch. Best for the sporty crowd and zen-seeker.

  • IFA 2018: Robots, medical devices and ... a huge keyboard

    Smartband that indicates the level of sugar I came across this device absolutely by accident. A small smartband that looks similar to, for example, Xiaomi Mi Band 3 has one quite unique functionality - it can determine whether the user's blood sugar level is high, low or maybe appropriate. Marcus Soo, product manager of Actxa from Singapore, explained to me how the device works. It uses a database collected on the basis of many studies in Singapore hospitals (the company has a contract with the local health care). It compares the measured parameters (mainly heart rate and body temperature) with the results in the database and returns one of three results (low, normal, high). Of course, it will not replace a glucometer for people with diabetes, but it will work as an early warning system against sugar drops.

  • Actxa Steps Up Its Fitness Game with Improved Active Wearable, Actxa Spur+

    For immediate release ACTXA STEPS UP ITS FITNESS GAME WITH IMPROVED ACTIVE WEARABLE, ACTXA SPUR+, FEATURING ALL-NEW VO2 MAX AND FITNESS AGE FEATURES Level-up your exercise, fitness and health by tracking and stretching your cardiorespiratory/aerobic fitness with the all-new Actxa Spur+ SINGAPORE, November 2018 – Actxa, local developer of digital health and fitness products, has launched its all-new active wearable, the Actxa Spur+, to empower not only the fitness enthusiasts but also the average Joe on the streets to be in better control of their fitness and enjoy the health benefits that come with improved fitness levels. The Spur+ now includes a new key feature – VO2 Max – the gold standard metric that defines an individual’s cardiorespiratory and aerobic fitness level. It describes your body’s ability to bring oxygen into your body through your lungs, transport it through your blood supply to your muscles, and use it as part of your body’s most efficient energy production method. The Spur+ accurately measures VO2 Max using a proprietary method from Firstbeat Technologies, the leading provider of physiological analytics for sports and well-being, founded in the hub of sports sciences of Finland with the University and physiology labs. According to a white paper by Firstbeat Technologies, an individual’s VO2 Max decreases by 1% every year after the age of 251. However, individuals can actively improve their VO2 Max regardless of age, by engaging in regular exercise to maintain fitness performance and endurance for overall health and well-being, for longer work ability, better quality of life and longevity. 1 Firstbeat Technologies White Paper (2014). Automated Fitness Level (VO2max) Estimation with Heart Rate and Speed Data With the all-new VO2 Max feature, the Spur+ is also able to determine an individual’s Fitness Age in comparison to their chronological age. The higher the VO2 Max , the more aerobically fit a person is, and the lower their Fitness Age is. Available in a sleek black or midnight blue design, the Actxa Spur+ wearable is water-resistant and comes with a face-lifted interface that features a colour touchscreen display. The gadget tracks and displays “Intensity Minutes ” , giving wearers the instant visibility of their progress as they work towards achieving the WHO-recommended weekly goal of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activities (MVPA). To get a personal VO2 Max reading, users simply need to record a workout of at least 15 minutes, either by jogging or brisk walking. The improved gadget also provides All-day Heart Rate Monitoring , with a five-minute reading interval. It also features Move Alert to remind users when a (customisable) period of inactivity is detected. With all these data and information effectively synchronised to the Actxa mobile app, users are presented with an easy to use interface to view and track their data as actionable insights. “We are excited to launch the Actxa Spur+ this October. The product has been carefully designed with new features that give users more in-depth and meaningful insights into the effectiveness of their exercise regimes. By capturing data that sheds light on how workouts and day-to-day routines translate into improved fitness levels, we hope to make the Actxa Spur+ a big part of our users’ lifestyle as they strive for a more healthy and active living,” said Mr. Lim Chun Hong, CEO of Actxa. The Actxa Spur+ is available for purchase at retail outlets island wide at S$109.00. Tag & Hashtag Us: @Actxa | #ActxaSpurPlus | #ActxaSG

  • Meet the Singaporean company that created fitness trackers for the national steps challenge since 2015

    Fitness trackers have spiked in popularity in recent years, with more paying attention to their health and activity levels. Actxa is a homegrown brand, and has been providing hundreds of thousands of Singaporeans with fitness trackers via the National Steps Challenge since 2015. Here’s their story. Never has counting the number of steps we take daily been a common method to measure our activity levels (or score shopping and grocery vouchers ) – until recently. Of course, pedometers have been around for hundreds of years , but they were typically singular in their purpose, and thus only appealed to a smaller group of consumers. Now, pedometers are integrated into our smartwatches and fitness trackers, both of which do so much more than just count the number of steps we take. With the introduction of the annual National Steps Challenge by the Singapore Health Promotion Board, Singaporeans of all ages and backgrounds have also become more aware and incentivised to pay more attention to their activity levels. To help Singaporeans get started on their fitness tracking journey, the Health Promotion Board also gives out fitness trackers to participants every season. What some might not know is that the trackers are made by Actxa , a Singaporean company that also made its debut with the first-ever National Steps Challenge in 2015! Activate Interactive , the parent company of Actxa, is also the developer of Healthy 365 , the official app for the National Steps Challenge. I got in touch with the CEO of Actxa, Mr Lim Chun Hong, to find out more about how its founders went from developing games for dementia sufferers to creating pedometers for Singaporeans of all fitness levels. From Activate Interactive To Actxa Actxa was established by the founders of Activate Interactive, a local developer of digital health and fitness products that aims to improve the quality of people’s lives through technology. Founded in 1997, Activate Interactive has gone from developing games for individuals who suffer from dementia to designing products that help diabetic patients monitor their blood glucose levels in a non-invasive manner. Its founders, Leslie Wou, Dawn Teh, and Karen Ho all have backgrounds in game development, mobile and interactive media. They have also won awards for their products along the way, including the Singapore Infocomm Award, GSMA Global Mobile Award, Nokia Forum Pro Award, Asia Web Design Award, and World Web Design Award. In 2015, Mr Joel Chin, the current CEO of Activate Interactive, came into the picture with the acquisition of the business. He then founded the latter within the same year. Under his leadership, Actxa was positioned to be the Internet of Things (IoT) arm of Activate Interactive to “focus on bringing digital health products and services to market, while Activate Interactive continues to focus on software and technologies”. “Back in 2015, good quality fitness trackers were costly,” explained Mr Lim. [Mr Chin] believed that health and its associated technologies should be made affordable and easy to use to benefit as many people as possible. Making Strides Since 2015 Mr Lim shared that the starting days were “tough, […] considering that there were many firsts” that they were embarking on with the manufacturing process of fitness trackers. 2015 was also a particularly eventful year, with them winning the tender to supply fitness trackers for the very first season of the National Steps Challenge. Working with manufacturing partners, conducting integration, testing, all the way through to going live in an 8-week span… it was really sink or swim, and I’m glad to say that we managed to swim. The Actxa Stride, their first product, was released to the public in the same year. “The reception was overwhelmingly positive with roughly 250,000 Actxa Strides ending up on the wrists of the public by 2016,” revealed Mr Lim. Sold Almost 800,000 Fitness Trackers So Far Since its inception 3 years ago, they have sold “a little shy of 800,000” fitness trackers. Most of their current customers and users are located in Singapore, but their products have also made their way around the world. “We have recently started efforts to distribute our products globally,” said Mr Lim. Actxa through the years He has also noticed a “steady rise in awareness” of the importance of an active lifestyle among Singaporeans, and credits it to “national-level programmes like the National Steps Challenge”. Globally, the credit goes to the work that has been done by established fitness tracker brands like Fitbit and Garmin, and we hope that in the very near future, Actxa. As for future plans, Mr Lim shared that users can look forward to the launch of the Actxa Glo in January 2019, a fitness tracker that can predict a person’s blood glucose levels non-invasively. “We believe this product will help, in a very big way, to prevent the onset of the diabetic condition for a lot of people, as well as help users understand how their body is reacting to sugar over time,” he beamed proudly. He also teased that the team has started work on “an interesting solution” that will help children form good health habits. 2019 will also mark the year when the homegrown brand looks to accelerate their overseas expansion plans which have already taken root this year. I’d like to thank Mr Lim for his time! Take the first step (pun intended) and check out Actxa and their products here . Source: https://vulcanpost.com/652248/actxa-fitness-trackers-singapore/

  • Understanding your Heart Rate Zones

    The Actxa app automatically uses the standard formula of 220 minus your age to get your Maximum Heart Rate, which would be used to calculate the range for your five training zones. Tracking your heart rate with a heart rate monitor and understanding what’s happening in each heart rate zone is important if you want to fully utilise your workout and fitness tracker. There are five different zones you can train in, with different benefits to each. 50-63.9% of Max HR Warm Up Zone You can reach this comfortable zone by walking briskly. Exercising in this zone will improve your general health but not your endurance or strength. This is a good zone to be in for those with heart problems or are starting to work out on a daily basis. Workouts in this zone usually include long, slow runs or easy recovery workouts. As this is at a very comfortable effort level, you can use this zone for warm-ups and cool-downs. 64-69.9% of Max HR Fat Burn Zone Reach this zone by jogging slowly. Perfect for easy rest and recovery days, training in this zone improves your body’s ability to utilize oxygen and general endurance. Your body will get better at burning fat and you’ll build muscular fitness. 70-79.9% of Max HR Cardio Zone Most training is done within this zone, which should feel comfortable enough for you to hold a conversation. Effective for overall cardiovascular fitness, exercising with moderate effort helps increase your body’s efficiency in transporting oxygenated blood to your muscles, and carbon dioxide away from them. Over time, your heart increases in strength and size, and you metabolize carbohydrates and fats equally. This is also the zone in which lactic acid begins to build up in your bloodstream. 80-89.9% of Max HR Intense Zone You can reach this zone by going harder, as you get faster and fitter. Exercising at this intensity feels comfortably hard and you should still be able to say short, broken sentences. However, this is where you will “feel the burn” and most people won’t be able to keep exercising within this zone for more than an hour. Here, you’ll improve your speed, endurance and lactic threshold. You’ll be breathing hard while your body gets better at using carbohydrates for energy. 90-100% of Max HR Max Zone This is where you go “all out” for a few minutes. You won’t be able to hold a conversation at this pace while your lungs and heart work at maximal capacity. Training in this zone is hard, and often reserved for those who are very fit. However it doesn’t mean you should avoid exercising in this zone. You can incorporate exercise in this zone safely with interval training or HIIT workouts. Be careful though, as most injuries happen during workouts here.

  • Health Alert! It’s Time to Move

    Are you seated as you’re reading this? It won’t be surprising if you are. A study[ 1 ] published in 2015 found that almost 40% of all Singaporeans spend at least 8 hours a day seated. This number excludes the time we spend asleep, and our sitting hours increase as we grow older. It’s easy to see why. We drive or ride to the office, work at our computers, have drinks at the pub, do our homework at the table, unwind with our favourite programmes on the couch and read in bed before sleep. It all sounds so normal, but there’s a problem. This love affair with our chair has been “identified as an independent risk factor for premature mortality”.[ 2 ] In fact, sitting for too long has been directly linked to an increased risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes . Research[ 3 ] has shown that when we sit for long periods, our blood pressure rises, metabolism slows down, we become less efficient in regulating our blood sugar, and fat starts to accumulate around our waist. But I work in an office! I can’t take exercise breaks. Lengthy breaks are not realistic for everyone, especially for those of us who get caught up in meetings and deadlines. However, taking a movement break every 30 minutes is effective in reducing the negative effects of prolonged sitting. Try walking over to your colleague instead of calling. Stand up while brainstorming at a meeting or watching television. Take a toilet break or make yourself a cup of tea. Or simply get up for a good stretch. The key to minimising cardiovascular disease is to “stand up, sit less, move more, more often,” says Tan Tock Seng Hospital’s Senior Therapist, Jaclyn Chow. To make this really work for you, set a vibrating reminder on your phone to move every 30 minutes. Some fitness trackers like the Tempo 3C and Actxa Spur+ comes with Move Alerts you can customise. These reminders nudge you gently when you’re deep in thought or feeling the stress of a deadline. It will only be a matter of time before you start to feel uncomfortable when you’re not moving. So that’s it? That’s all I need to stay healthy? Not quite. The Singapore Heart Foundation also recommends 30 minutes of physical activity at least five times a week, and this includes exercises like brisk walking, aerobic dancing and swimming. Build movement into your lifestyle by getting off the bus (or train) several stops earlier to walk the rest of the way or taking the stairs instead of using the lift. If you already have your own fitness tracker, well, what are you waiting for? It’s time to move it.

  • VO2 Max Explained

    VO2 Max is the metric that defines your personal cardiorespiratory/aerobic fitness level. It is your body’s ability to use its most efficient energy source — Oxygen. Your body needs oxygen to walk, jump, run, move, and simply function. The more oxygen your body can process and feed your muscles with, the more energy you produce to go faster, stronger, further and longer. This processing-feeding-producing ability is your maximum aerobic capacity, also known as your VO2 Max, or the maximum amount of oxygen your body uses per minute. The higher your VO2 Max, the fitter you are and the younger your Fitness Age! If your score is lower than you’d like, good news — you can work on improving it with frequent physical activity! VO2 Max Fitness Level classification ranges from “very poor” to “excellent”. Check out the VO2 Max Fitness Level Classification for males and females. Most of us will reach optimum fitness and physical levels in our 20s. However, beginning from our mid-30s, it starts to decline by about 10% per decade. Should this fact worry us if the only activity we do each day is run for the morning train? If we are not professional athletes, is there a need to monitor our VO2 Max? Short answer: Yes. Comparing your VO2 Max score with others in the same age group is a good indicator of your fitness level. If your VO2 Max is below average for your age group, it might mean that you need to start investing time in aerobic activity. A lower VO2 Max (your body processes less oxygen per kilogram of bodyweight per minute) has been associated with “high risks of cardiovascular disease, all-cause mortality, and mortality rates attributable to various cancers” ( American Heart Association , 2016). In other words, the higher your VO2 Max, the healthier you are, and the younger you feel. Don’t we all want that? Start your VO2 Max measurement with the Actxa Spur+ or Actxa Spark+! Create a healthy-intensity exercise plan (the kind where you can only talk in spurts between breaths) and work out at least thrice a week, monitoring your progress as you go. Slowly but surely you’ll start feeling more energetic and strong, as your body increases its ability to utilise oxygen more efficiently.
