Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. Physical activity encompasses all activities, at any intensity, performed during any time of day or night. It includes exercise and incidental activity integrated into daily activity. This integrated activity may not be planned, structured, repetitive or purposeful for the improvement of fitness, and may include activities such as walking to the local shop, cleaning, working, active transport etc. Lack of physical activity is associated with a range of negative health outcomes whereas increased physical activity can improve physical as well as mental health.

Cardiac Function Assessment System

PendingUS20250359772A1Health-index calculationSensorsArrhythmia sinusCardiac functioning
An assessment of basal cardiac fitness uses noninvasively obtained physiological measures to determine the presence of a basal physiological state and cardiometric measures to determine cardiac fitness. In the presence of preload independence and cardiac vagal control, cardiometric signals are acquired that are sensitive to cardiac function and include information indicative of the opening and closing of the individual's aortic valve. The cardiometric signals are analyzed by a cardiac fitness assessment system for the determination of basal cardiac fitness. The invention assures preload independence through the assessment of observational physiological parameters or the use of physiological parameters obtained following alterations in venous return. The invention assures the presence of cardiac vagal control by assessment of measured parameters, including the presence of respiratory sinus arrhythmia. The resulting test is specific for cardiac function without dependencies on physical activities associated with heart rate elevation or respiratory capabilities.
