| Popis: | Global population statistics demonstrate clear evidence that unhealthy lifestyle choices - including hyper-caloric, low-nutritional density diets and sedentary lifestyle - are raising the global burden of diseases, morbidity and mortality at alarming rates. Healthy diets and exercise are recommended by all health care professionals as a proven treatment and prevention measure for health conditions, yet less than 10% of the population in some countries rigorously follow the minimum physical activity recommendations. In addition, many that do follow physical exercise-and-diet recommended guidelines do not achieve tangible results due to questionable methodologies of such programs. Furthermore, the recent COVID-19 pandemic dramatically affected global healthcare and has contributed to exacerbate the situation due to imposed lockdowns, where the costs of sedentary lifestyles threaten to bankrupt an already overtaxed public health care. Consequently, the public health worldwide desperately needs practical and cost-effective measures to reduce the effects of non-communicable diseases. Muscle mass hypertrophy-based physical exercise and biological adapted diet could provide the physiological solution, while novel game-based technology could help the challenges of exercise compliance. This review aims to, firstly, to revise the importance of achieving, maintaining and recovering muscle mass and strength for improved health outcomes. Secondly, evaluate the benefits of directing the focus of medical interventions towards hypertrophic exercise and diet as an effective treatment to improve health and longevity. Thirdly, we propose the CyFit SmartGym, a novel device, as a potential screening tool for monitoring strength levels and as a HIIT/strength training for improving and documenting health outcomes. |
