Benefits of technology

[0026]An advantage of the invention is that the intensity of the exercise performed by the person having an impact on the operation of the heart and on cholesterol metabolism can be measured without fixedly attached transducers on the skin of the person exercising.

Problems solved by technology

The most dangerous of the disorders in lipid metabolism is the increase of cholesterol concentration in blood.
Also physical exercise decreases the risk factors of heart disease.
However, there are no studies in prior scientific literature which would have studied the exact quantity and quality of exercise which decreases cholesterol concentrations.
The cross-sectional studies do not

Embodiment Construction

[0034]FIG. 1 shows by way of an example a measurement arrangement of cholesterol metabolism according to the invention. A transducer unit 2 records an acceleration peak every time the leg of a person 1 hits the ground. The kind of exercise used defines the quantity of the maximum value of the recorded acceleration peak. The repetition frequency of the acceleration peaks also describes the kind of exercise used. These measurement variables can advantageously be utilised in the classification describing the activity of exercise performed which in the transducer according to the invention is utilised in compiling a cholesterol metabolism forecast.

[0035]By means of the invention according to FIG. 1, it is possible to examine the quantity and quality of exercises performed having an advantageous impact on cholesterol metabolism. The target is achieved by continuously recording accelerations exerted at the legs during daily exercise performed by the person 1 with the transducer unit 2 inc...

Abstract

A measuring device and a method estimates the quantity and quality of exercises performed having an advantageous impact on cholesterol metabolism. In the method, accelerations exerted on a person during daily exercise performed by the person are continuously recorded by a measuring device including an acceleration transducer. The recorded results are visible in the measuring device or an external device. Based on the received feedback, the person can change the quantity and quality of his/her exercise so that it has an advantageous impact on cholesterol metabolism.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a method for measuring physical exercise promoting cholesterol metabolism on a person. The quantity and quality of exercise is typically measured with a transducer unit and measuring device system which was described in patent specifications WO 03055389 and WO 2005117703. The invention also relates to a transducer unit used in the method and a program application utilised in it.BACKGROUND[0002]Coronary heart diseases are the most common causes of death in industrialised countries. It has been estimated that today about 15 million people die of them annually and that this number will rise to 25 million by the year 2020 (Poulter, Heart 89, Suppl2, 2-5ii, 2003). The most important risk factors of heart diseases are disorders in lipid metabolism, high blood pressure and smoking. The most dangerous of the disorders in lipid metabolism is the increase of cholesterol concentration in blood. The rise of total cholesterol or LDL cholestero...
