I get a lot of use out of my Polar chest strap, as the sensors in the bars on the Precor cardio equipment die so very often at my gym.  Pretty nifty how it interfaces with the cardio equipment, and with something like this I'm sure they could give even more information to exercisers.  I'll have to keep up with this.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 19th 2007 12:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Zephyr's smart fabrics to gauge physiological data]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/18/zephyrs-smart-fabrics-to-gauge-physiological-data/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/18/zephyrs-smart-fabrics-to-gauge-physiological-data/</guid><description><![CDATA[I like Polar (but now use a garmin gps w/ hr monitor), however polar has always been 5 to 10 years behind in the technology arena.

Activity is a measure of how hard the wearer is working.  The device has applications beyond just sports coaching.
