Fitness Myth: Sweating means calorie loss

Many people believe that an increased amount of sweat corresponds with an increased physical activity level, and an increased rate of calorie loss. A good workout is often associated with a shirt covered in sweat, as well as excessive body odour and a red face. However, all of these factors are independent of the use of calories.

When the body sweats, it is evaporating water off the surface of the skin in order to cool the body. This is why the body sweats more during hot days rather than cool ones. In theory, it is possible to perform an entire exercise session without sweating if the conditions are cool enough. It is also possible to completely drench a shirt with sweat without performing any exercise should the conditions be hot enough.

When performing exercise, it is vital to ensure that one doesn’t forgo their normal routines and goals in order to facilitate the heat or cool. While it can be harder to train in hot conditions, as long as one keeps hydrated throughout the session it is possible to maintain the high standards required to continue improving.

Aspartame - is it unsafe for consumption?

Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame are found in over 6000 diet products, beverages and pharmaceuticals. They replace sucrose in foods, enhancing flavour while reducing calories and the risk of dental caries. As obesity has become a major public health issue, more individuals of all ages are choosing to use these products. However, their safety has been controversial. Aspartame received a lot of media attention in 2006 when a report claimed that aspartame was a multi-potential carcinogenic agent. As a response, further investigations were undertaken into the effects of aspartame on health because if found to be true, then food standards would have had to be revised. These epidemiological studies provided no evidence to support an association between aspartame and cancer in any tissue but pointed out that risks associated with foetal exposure were not evaluated. Currently, the food safety authority Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) and other international regulatory agencies have approved aspartame for general use in a range of foods including tabletop sweeteners, carbonated soft drinks, yoghurt and confectionery.

As a food additive, aspartame is required to be identified by its class name (i.e. sweetener) and by an individual name or code number. The additive number for aspartame is 951. It also needs to be labeled because aspartame is unsuitable for individuals with Phenylketonuria (PKU) since aspartame is broken down into the amino acid phenylalanine.

In summary, FSANZ has concluded that, in Australia, aspartame is a safe food additive, and levels in food are well below those at which adverse health effects might occur.

Lisa Seiler

Hi my name is Lisa Seiler and I have just completed a double degree in Human Movement / Nutrition & Dietetics at Queensland University of Technology. Currently I am doing voluntary hours here at Fitnance to achieve the required total amount of working with the apparently healthy population so I can get accredited with Exercise & Sport Science Australia (ESSA). I have finished all my other practical placements where I worked with clients who had spinal cord injuries, back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions. My latest prac was at a cardiac rehabilitation centre which I really enjoyed. Taking blood pressures while patients were rowing or walking on the treadmill was definitely a challenge and I believe a useful skill. In terms of my career, I can see myself working as an exercise physiologist or dietitian (or both) in a multi-disciplinary team where a holistic approach to health and well-being is valued. I would also love to combine the knowledge and skills gained in both degrees and work with children to achieve a healthier and more energetic young population.

As far as my hobbies are concerned, I’ve done ballet, jazz, Latin and ballroom dancing, figure-skating, kickboxing, and Tae kwon do in the past. These days I usually go to the gym for a workout. In my free time I enjoy inline-skating, going for walks outside, and reading.

Zumba at Fitnance

Come join the fitness revolution at Fitnance. Zumba is a form of exercise which combines dancing with cardiovascular exercise, and is fun for all involved. All ages and fitness levels are welcome. Classes begin at 6:30pm on Mondays, $15 per person. For enquiries call Diana Moncada at 0423594752.

Power Bands and Bracelets: Do they work?

What is a power bracelet?
Power bracelets are simply a bracelet containing either a magnet or composed of materials such as copper or titanium. Power bands contain Mayer holograms that supposedly resonate with your body’s natural frequency. Power bracelet/band usage has recently been on the rise due to their claim to “regulate the body's natural electric currents through cell ionization, thereby promoting muscle relaxation and providing relief from pain, stress and fatigue and improving blood circulation”. Quite a bold claim in light of the very vague description we are given in how it works.

Cell ionisation, what does this mean?
Cell ionisation can refer to a couple of definitions. One refers to the splitting apart of the molecular structure of the cell. This in itself is dangerous as cells undergoing ionisation can potentially be permanently damaged. The other is the effect on the regulation and exchange of ions (K+, Na+, Cl-) between the cell membrane and extracellular fluid. If magnetic bands are meant to improve performance the first definition is very unlikely. As for the second definition, there is little to no research that explains a relation between a power bracelet and its affect on these systems.

Is there any research supporting power bracelets?
Other then testimonials from sports stars in various disciplines, which are simply subjective, there is not much to go by in terms of research. Opinions are generally of the consensus that the bands create a placebo effect. The closest associated research is related to magnetic therapy and arthritis and even then results suggest that improvements were nothing more than a placebo effect. Since power bracelets/Bands are a reasonably new “technology” more research certainly needs to be done. In particular randomised trials should be of particular use in identifying a definite placebo effect. Specific research should also be done on the cellular reactions to various bands to see if there is indeed an improvement in ion regulation within cells. This will be more useful rather than having a claim that it “optimises the body’s natural energy flow”.

So is it worth wearing one?
At this point in time power bracelets/bands are a bit in the dark but the general opinion at this point is they do nothing more than promote a placebo effect. However in saying that the placebo effect is still a positive one and any improvement in performance is good. In my opinion I would take it as a grain of salt at this point until better research is done. The bands do no harm so there is no issues in wearing one the only question is are you willing to spend $60+.
