Embodiment 1

[0088] A first preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0089] 1.1 Structure of the embodiment

[0090] First, the maximum oxygen absorption amount estimating means of the first embodiment will be explained. According to the maximum oxygen uptake estimating device described in this embodiment, in order to estimate the maximum oxygen uptake (VO 2max (liter / min)) instead of the Astrand-Ryhming nomogram (Astrand, P.O and Ryhming, I.: Nomogram for the calculation of oxygen demand (physical strength appropriate) from the pulse rate during submaximal activity.

[0091] J. Appl. Physiol., 218-221, 1954). This estimate is then divided by the test subject's body weight to obtain the maximum oxygen uptake per unit body weight (VO 2max / wt (unit: milliliter / kg / min)).

[0092] 1.1.1.Astrond-Ryhming nomogram

[0093] Before explaining this embodiment, a brief description will be given to the aforementioned Ast...

Embodiment 2

[0196] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be explained.

[0197] Although there are small differences between individuals, it is generally believed that when the cadence of running is increased, the stride length is shortened. However, in the first embodiment, since the step value set in the RAM 203 is used without modification, the step value used is constant despite the fact that the step frequency is increased. That is to say, the first embodiment does not consider this characteristic during running.

[0198] Therefore, from this point of view, the first embodiment has a defect that the exercise intensity obtained in step Sa3 is inaccurate.

[0199] Therefore, in the second embodiment, a graph showing the relationship between the pitch frequency and the pitch correction coefficient is prepared and stored in advance. When the stride frequency changes during running, the stride correction coefficient corresponding to the changed stride frequency is read...

Embodiment 3

[0207] A third embodiment of the present invention will now be explained.

[0208] When running, you don't need to limit your range of motion to flat roads. Instead it can be on normal roads which usually have some slopes. When running with an incline, the stride length will be shorter when running uphill and longer when running downhill (however, when running a marathon In people, this relationship is reversed).

[0209] Therefore, when running on an incline, the stride length will change even though the stride frequency remains the same. Therefore, the intensity of exercise changes. However, in the first embodiment described above, the step value set in the RAM 203 is used. Also, if the cadence is constant, the intensity of the workout is calculated based on the constant cadence value even if there is a slope.

[0210] So the disadvantage of the first embodiment is that the exercise intensity obtained in step Sa3 is not accurate.

[0211] Therefore, in the third embodi...

Abstract

An apparatus which can obtain a maximum oxygen intake without being restjrained by any large-scaled apparatus and accompanied by a complicated word, and present upper and lower limit values of pulse rate corresponding to a reasonable amount of motion, and which realizes transfer of information such as a pulse wave signal to and from an information processing device for processing of pulse wave information in a wireless manner through optical communication. The apparatus comprises a pulse wave detecting unit for detecting a pulse wave pattern of a subject, an FFT processing unit for finding a heart rate of the subject from the pulse wave pattern, a body motion detecting unit for detecting a body motion in the event of the subject performing running motion, an FFT processing unit for finding a pitch in the running motion of the subject from the body motion, a motion intensity calculating unit for finding intensity of motion in the running motion from the pitch, stride and a body weight of the subject, and a nomogram memory unit for storing a relationship indicated by an Astrand-Ryhming nomogram to find a maximum oxygen intake from the heart rate and intensity of motion, the maximum oxygen intake found being divided by the body weight of the subject for calculation of a maximum oxygen intake per unit body weight. Subsequently, an upper limit value (UL) and a lower limit value (LL) of pulse rate are found by finding a pulse rate corresponding to the maximum oxygen intake and sexuality, and multiplying the pulse rate by a coefficient for the upper limit value and a coefficient for the lower limit value.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an auxiliary device for an exercise test suitable for use by a user when performing a prescribed proper exercise. [0002] Specifically, the present invention is applicable to a maximum oxygen uptake estimating device capable of enabling a user to easily determine his own maximum oxygen uptake; an exercise test assisting device capable of displaying upper and lower limit values ​​of pulse rate corresponding to an appropriate exercise intensity; a design a portable pulse wave measuring device that can measure pulse rate or other pulse wave information; or a technique involving the transmission of information between a portable pulse wave measuring device and a data processing Measurement data of a pulse wave measuring device. Background technique [0003] In recent years, many people engage in physical exercise to improve their health. [0004] However, when exercising, it is very necessary to exercise at an appropriat...
