SportsArt, a Woodinville, WA based supplier of premium cardiovascular fitness products, will unveil their new, patent-pending, dual-action adjustable stride elliptical at the Health and Fitness Business Show, August 9-10-11 in Denver, Colorado.

Elliptical trainers have been the fastest growing category in health clubs for several years. More recently, several manufacturers have added an upper body component-hence dual-action-to their elliptical products. Dual action, which enables a more full body workout, has been very well received by club members nationwide.

With the advent of their patent pending adjustable stride, SportsArt's new 8300 addresses several key issues not currently served by other products in this category. First and foremost is that fixed stride machines work best for those users who have that particular stride length. Obviously a 5'3" user will have a different stride requirement than someone 6'3", yet prior to the 8300 no dual action commercial elliptical product addressed that issue.

Next is the issue of training effect. With adjustable stride you can vary the training effect. For example, utilizing a shorter stride with higher strides per minute will mimic a sprint workout (fast twitch muscle fibers), while a longer, more casual stride will train the slow twitch muscle fibers.

The Health and Fitness Business show, held annually in Denver, CO is the largest trade show in the country geared exclusively toward specialty fitness retailers.
