Fit-for-Driving No. 14: Road Glare

admin — Sun, 13 May 2012 22:44:00 +0000

Bright vehicle headlights can create even more glare for drivers than previous lighting due to their brightness and positioning. A couple of hints provided by researchers might help with this issue. Simple suggestions such as keeping the windshield clean while using anti-glare products, and using anti-glare devices commonly built into the rear-view mirror, will provide some relief for nighttime road glare while driving. New and emerging patents for nighttime glare are portable anti-glare screens, advanced driver assistance systems, anti-reflective coatings for lenses, and anti-glare panels with LED light panels that are positioned above the driver’s seat. With headlamp heights reaching as high as 54 inches and as low as 24 inches, and the intensity of light regulated be bright enough to reveal vehicles and persons at a distance of 200 feet, road glare at nighttime will continue to be an issue.

Team Fitness Gurus No. 27: Posture for Chair Exercises

admin — Fri, 11 May 2012 02:02:00 +0000

When participating in chair exercises, use a chair that does not have wheels, is comfortable, with a fairly flat seat, and sturdy back support. Good posture requires effort especially during chair exercises. Being aware of your posture and adjusting as needed will help you to receive the most benefit out of your chair exercise class, and reduce the chance of injury. It is important to maintain good posture and balance throughout your chair exercise class, and rest as often as needed. It is beneficial to have the feet on the ground, and knees should be level or slightly higher than the hips. The shoulders should be down, back, and relaxed. (Sit and Be Fit, 2003)
