AMHERST, N.Y., Aug. 7, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- HealthSport, Inc. (OTCBB:HSPO) announced today that Enlyten(tm), Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of HealthSport, will sponsor the first ever Open Mic Audience Interview, hosted by Jim Kelly and JP Losman, at Bills training camp beginning at 6 PM on Monday, August 13th. After giving a brief overview of what will take place for that evening's practice and discussing the upcoming season, Kelly and Losman will field fan questions. Other members of the Bills will be on hand to answer questions, and Steve Tasker, the Bills former Special Teams ace and CBS Football Analyst, will emcee the event. Enlyten recently announced its partnership with the Bills to become the Official SportStrips provider for the team.
Bills fans will have the opportunity to ask the players questions during the interactive fan forum. Fans can bring their questions on 3 x 5 index cards to submit before the interview. Enlyten will also sponsor an on-air giveaway on 97 Rock as fans will be able to win an exclusive Enlyten SportStrips prize package which includes four tickets to the night practice, Dick's Sporting Goods gift certificate and coupons, and Athlete Packs of Enlyten SportStrips and other Enlyten promotional products. Fans submitting their questions at the Open Mic will be eligible to win special guest passes to watch the night practice with Jim Kelly.
Enlyten's partnership with the Bills was developed to help generate awareness for Enlyten's electrolyte delivery technology and help build awareness of the importance of hydration and electrolyte replenishment. Athletes know there are many different modes of electrolyte replenishment on the market, and finding a fast and efficient method is very important, especially during the hottest temperatures of the summer when the risk for dehydration is at its peak. The Bills' partnership is part of the Defense Against Dehydration national campaign being developed by Enlyten featuring several athletes including Losman, Miami Dolphins Defensive End Jason Taylor, U.S. Women's Soccer Star Brandi Chastain, Buffalo Sabres Goalie Ryan Miller, and U.S. Marathon Runner Peter Gilmore.
"I am excited to be participating in the Open Mic at Training Camp," said the Hall of Fame quarterback, Jim Kelly. "Bills fans are the most dedicated group of fans, and they really care about their team. Whether they travel from Buffalo and beyond or live in Rochester, the Bills training camp is well attended by eager fans wanting to get a glimpse of their favorite Bills players who are going to run onto the field of Ralph Wilson Stadium. I am looking forward to interacting with the fans and hearing their thoughts on the team."
Enlyten SportStrips replace the electrolytes lost during vigorous athletic activity through a proprietary edible film strip delivery technology. Demonstrated scientifically to be a faster and more efficient way to deliver nutritional supplements and drug actives than ingesting them into the gastro-intestinal tract, the electrolyte content of the flavored film strip is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the soft tissue of the inner cheek and gum -- a direct mode of electrolyte absorption unique to Enlyten SportStrips. On a cellular level, fluid is generally rejected by electrolyte deficient cells, so athletes try to compensate by consuming excessive amounts of fluid which can result in conditions like cramping and vomiting. Enlyten provides an effective new method of maintaining proper electrolyte levels helping athletes to optimize hydration and their level of physical performance.
