WALKING-LOAD-DEGREE CALCULATION APPARATUS, MAXIMUM-OXYGEN-CONSUMPTION CALCULATION APPARATUS, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND CONTROL METHOD

摘要

A walking-load-degree calculation apparatus includes a rate obtainer that obtains a rate that is a heart rate or a pulse rate of a user, a walking speed obtainer that obtains one or more walking speeds of the user during a walk, a weight obtainer that obtains a weight of the user, and a walking-load-degree calculator that calculates a walking load degree that is an indicator of cardiopulmonary exercise of the user during the walk.

主权项

1. A walking-load-degree calculation apparatus comprising:
a rate obtainer that obtains a rate of a user, the rate being a heart rate or a pulse rate of the user; a walking speed obtainer that obtains one or more walking speeds of the user during a walk; a weight obtainer that obtains a weight of the user; and a walking-load-degree calculator that calculates a walking load degree of the user, the walking load degree being an indicator of cardiopulmonary exercise of the user during the walk and being defined asτ=∑t=1n(HRw(t)-HRr)∑t=1nm·v(t)2,where
τ denotes the walking load degree, HRw(t) denotes a rate of the user obtained by the rate obtainer for a t-th period during the walk, a period of the walk being divided into n periods including the t-th period, each of the n periods being a predetermined period of time, t being an integer of 1 or greater, and n being an integer of 1 or greater, HRr denotes a resting rate of the user obtained by the rate obtainer for the predetermined period of time, m denotes the weight of the user obtained by the weight obtainer, and v(t) denotes a walking speed of the user obtained by the walking speed obtainer for the t-th period among the one or more walking speeds.
