SUPPLIER & TRAINING NEWS Green CV kit gets first order
The first UK order has been placed – by the Spectrum Leisure Complex at Willington – for a new cardio system that turns human energy into usable power. The revolutionary Green
System – by fitness supplier SportsArt Fitness UK – uses a ‘pod’ of elliptical trainers and cycles, attached to an inverter, that harnesses human- generated power from the exerciser and feeds this back into the power grid as usable energy. This can then be used to save facilities thousands of pounds in energy costs. The system is, says SportsArt, the first ‘plug
The new equipment harnesses and re-uses human-generated power
and play’ solution of its kind for health club owners who want to offset power costs by freely harnessing human energy. Ian Hirst, CEO of Spectrum Leisure and
Management, which operates the Spectrum leisure centre, says: “We strive to provide
innovation in the way we operate, and constantly look to reduce our carbon footprint where feasible. “The new SportsArt Green System provides
the technology to assist us in supporting the environment plus the community we serve, and we believe that our customers will appreciate the new equipment.” Details:

RAPs launched for swimming professionals
The registry is for all aquatics professionals and will become the industry’s single qualification framework
SkillsActive has launched a new professional register for the aquatics sector, designed to become the single qualification framework structure for the industry. Called Register of Aquatic Professionals
(RAPs), the scheme will be owned and operated by SkillsActive and developed in partnership with employers. RAPs will look to provide verification that
those working in the sector are fully qualified to perform their role. The qualifications accepted by RAPs will
only include courses offered by the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA), the Swimming Teachers’ Association (STA) and The Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS).
The three industry bodies are now working
together as equal partners to develop a new qualification framework for each aquatic role (teaching, coaching, maintenance and lifesaving), as part of efforts to provide consistency across the sector and clarity to employers. The initial launch of RAPs, in 2012, will
be based on existing qualifications from ASA, STA and RLSS. This will be followed by a transition to the new single qualification framework by 2014. RAPs members will also have the
opportunity to progress to The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA) on obtaining relevant qualifications and experience.
