摘要:
The invention determines an efficiency value (E) denoting preferably the relative period of muscle fibre activity during a recorded period of exercise, and a spatial value (S) representing the number of muscle fibres recruited during a movement as part of the exercise or of a muscle contraction, and a temporal value (T) representing the frequency with which muscle fibres are activated repeatedly during exercise, and finally combines the efficiency value (E), the spatial value (S) and the temporal value (T) by a mathematical operation to obtain an index value (ESTi) indicative of the fitness level of the individual. The obtained ESTi score is useful for assessing the training level of an animal or human individual and the individual's potential for different types of sports and other activity. Also the effect of past training or diet can be assessed, and the possible need for changes in training or diet can be assessed.

摘要:
A system (10) for acquiring data representing sound in a human or animal body. The system comprises a disk shaped piezoelectric element (30) with a fist side (31) and a second side (32) opposite the first side (31). The piezoelectric element (30) is capable of generating, when exposed to the sound, an analogue electrical signal representing the sound, and the first side (31) is adapted for placing in acoustic contact with the skin of an animal or a human being, and the second side (32) is directly exposed to ambient air, and a device (20) for receiving the electrical signal generated by the piezoelectric element (30). The piezoelectric element (30) can be covered by a protective coating. The electrical signal is sampled at a sampling frequency as high as 96 kHz.
