SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSESSMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS

摘要

A system and method for assessing cardiovascular fitness of a subject. A local monitoring device is coupled to the subject for acquiring input data related to the subject. A remote monitoring system is communicatively coupled to the local monitoring device over a network for receiving the input data. The remote monitoring system includes a non-transitory memory having stored thereon an algorithm to be applied to the input data. A processor having access to the memory and algorithm is configured to calculate heart rate complexity (HRC) data based on the input data, compare the HRC data to at least one predetermined threshold value, and process the HRC data in relation to the at least one predetermined threshold value to generate a cardiovascular fitness level of the subject. A display is coupled to the remote monitoring system and configured to display a report related to the cardiovascular fitness level of the subject.

1. A system for tracking athletic fitness of an individual, the system comprising:
a sensor configured to be coupled to the individual to acquire cardiac information about the cardiac performance of the individual over time; a processor configured to receive the cardiac information from the sensor and configured to:
determine, from the cardiac information, a measure of heart function that includes heart rate complexity;compare the measure of heart function for the individual to a reference dataset that includes correlated information for a range of individuals of different, known fitness levels to determine a measure of fitness of the individual; and a display coupled to the processor and configured to display the measure of fitness for the individual.
