سؤال قراءة ستيب محلول — الاستنتاج (تدريب 7431)

(1) For most people, including fitness fans, the thought of having to watch yourself work out is not an attractive one. (2) We don’t look our best when we are working hard on a weights machine. But, as anyone who goes to the gym knows, there are always some people who like to admire their reflection in the big mirrors. It is perhaps these particular keep-fit enthusiasts who are most excited about the latest trend in home exercise – smart fitness mirrors. These are 1.8m tall, vertical, high-tech mirrors that contain a computer, connect to the internet, and also work as a video screen. The idea is you connect with an online trainer, who then appears on the mirror screen next to your reflection. On the more advanced devices the mirror is fitted with cameras and speakers, so the trainer can observe your movements and suggest ideas and changes. (3) The first smart mirror went on sale last year, costing 1300$, although there are plans for a simpler versions, at prices from 800$ to 1000$. The company describes its mirror as “giving completely personal sessions for body, mind and health.” But is there any actual advantage to being able to watch yourself workout? (4) Well, it can help you get the maximum benefits of the strength exercise and reduce errors in form that could lead to problems. Dr. Diana Johnson, a sports and fitness consultant at University of London agrees, but that she also has some worries. “Exercising in front of your reflection might provide important feedback; for example, on running technique or weightlifting form,” she says. “It may also increase people’s enjoyment during exercise – you can see the muscles in action and that can feel rewarding. However, my worry would be how do people who are unhappy with their body feel about this? It may be a problem for those new to exercise and looking to make a change in their life. Even for people who exercise regularly, we know there are many who are unhappy with their body, and for them, seeing a reflection throughout their exercise might be difficult.” (5) A similar form of high-tech mirror is also now entering the market – smart wellness mirrors. These are mirrors that use sensors and Al to measure a user’s skin and health. These are designed to replace the usual mirror above the sink in your bathroom. The mirrors use a camera, and infrared and ultraviolet light sensors to analyse a person’s skin and temperature, and then suggest a number of care routines. (6)The bathroom is a place where you have your hands full, or wet, or with cream on them, so the mirror is touchless – you just have to move your hand in front of it. It seems this product has made the famous line “mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” become a reality. (7) However, some doctors also have worries about both fitness and wellbeing smart mirrors. For someone who already notices every imagined problem with their body, these mirrors could result in them worrying more about their appearance. (8) Doctor Ali Ahmad agrees that there is a risk of some people worrying too much about their bodies, but he adds that the smart mirrors may improve health choices. How much will the cheapest smart mirror cost?
