A recent study conducted by the Cybex Research Institute and the University of Massachusetts-Lowell uncovered how body posture can positively impact exercise. Published by the Journal of Exercise Physiology Online, "Arm Use and Posture Alter Metabolic Cost During Non- Impact Cardiovascular Cross Training at a Constant Machine Workload" determined the influence of using the machine's arms and shifting posture on calorie burn during exercise on a non-elliptical cross trainer, the Cybex Arc Trainer.
