LONDON, May 24 — Adidas has launched a new football cleat (or football boot if you prefer) that the company claims will revolutionise your game, increase agility, protect you from injury and give you more energy, all while tracking your fitness stats.

Also, the shoe features the Energypulse on the forefront sole, which Adidas says enhances push-off and gives you greater energy returns for your runs.

Other technical features include the Sprintframe outsole with TRAXION 2.0 stud placement, which balances traction, stability and light weight. The boot also features a protection mesh layer around the foot and protection pads around the most sensitive tackle zones such as the Achilles tendon.

Plus like the Adidas f50, the Nitrocharge also includes a dedicated space for the brand's miCoach speed cell to track fitness stats such as speed, distance, and other data. The device pairs wirelessly with an iPhone or iPod to upload that data for analysis and sharing.

The cleat is available for purchase from June and will be worn by players Daniele De Rossi (A.S. Roma), Dani Alves (Barcelona), Ezequiel Lavezzi (Paris Saint Germain) and UEFA Champions League Finalist Javi Martinez (FC Bayern Munich). — AFP/Relaxnews

LONDON, May 24 — When it comes to keeping gym clothes clean, a new survey finds that most people wash their clothes only after every third workout. Women are the worst offenders, the survey said, with just 21 per cent washing their gym clothes after each and every workout.

A new survey finds that most people wash their clothes only after every third workout. — AFP picA poll of 1,456 British fitness fans revealed that the top excuses included saving for a bigger wash, not having enough gym clothing, or just not being bothered. Still, 44 per cent said that working out next to smelly people negatively impacts their workout.

Even among those who washed their gym clothes after every use, a third revealed that they actually just meant that they switch out their workout top. The research, announced Wednesday, was conducted by sport and fitness retailer Sweatband.com.

"If you're out road running then I suppose delaying the wash isn't so bad," said Sweatband.com CEO Maz Darvish. "But if you're in the confines of a gym, you definitely need to respect the sensitivities of other gym users. I'm sure many of us have found ourselves next to somebody on the treadmill who doesn't exactly smell of roses. It's not a pleasant experience. Try not to be that person!" — AFP/Relaxnews
