MOTION INTENSITY MEASURING APPARATUS AND MOMENTUM MEASURING APPARATUS

摘要

A motion intensity/momentum measuring apparatus capable of measuring a motion intensity of a motion irrespective of a kind of the motion and irrespective of whatever motion being performed, and measuring a momentum for only a motion having a suitable intensity for a user. The user estimates VO2max of his own by a known "indirect method" and inputs the value to the apparatus. The apparatus determines upper and lower limit values with a pulse rate corresponding to this VO2max as a center value. While the pulse rate exists between the upper and lower limit values during motion, CPU (308) increments the accumulation time stored in an RAM (309) at an interval based on a clock pulse supplied from an oscillation circuit (311) and a frequency division circuit (312). At the same time, the waveform of a pulse wave at the time of motion is compared with that at the time of rest and the motion intensity is estimated.
