Wearable sports monitoring equipment and method for characterizing sports performances or sportspersons

摘要

The invention concerns wearable electronic devices, systems and methods for sports performance monitoring. In one embodiment, the invention provides a device comprising a heartbeat sensor for providing a heartbeat signal, a motion sensor for providing a motion signal and processing means adapted to calculate at least one performance parameter depicting said sports performance and/or the person using temporal characteristics of periodic features of the heartbeat signal compared with temporal characteristics of periodic features in the motion signal. The invention allows for utilization of an existing relation between cadence and heart rate for characterizing the performance or the person in a novel way.

1. Wearable electronic equipment for monitoring a sports performance of a person, comprising:
a heartbeat sensor for providing a heartbeat signal in response to heartbeat of the person, a motion sensor for providing a motion signal in response to movement of the person, and a processing means adapted to calculate at least one performance parameter depicting said sports performance and/or the person based on temporal characteristics of periodic features of the heartbeat signal compared with temporal characteristics of periodic features of the motion signal.
