• 2．A new study，a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania，finds that a fitness tracker （健康追蹤器） probably does not help with weight loss．
     The trackers are designed to record your physical activity．They are usually worn around the wrist （手腕），where they record a person's heart rate．The research team looked at two groups of people．The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health consultation with experts for best weight-loss plan．The researchers compared this group with people who only got health consultation．
     The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms，but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms．John Jakicic，the lead researcher，questioned the use of these trackers for weight loss．
     The study involved 470 people aged between 18 and 35．Some of them were overweight，while others were considered obese．Over three fourths of them were women．All were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet．They had their weight measured once every six months．After six months，researchers divided the group into two parts：one continued with monthly consulting，while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker．Eighteen months later，both groups showed great improvements in fitness，physical activity and diet，with no big difference between groups．However，when it came to losing weight，the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight．
     Jakicic said， "The study's findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to deal with America's obesity．" More information is needed，he added，to learn how to best use these trackers to help adults who want to lose weight．
