    摘要: The invention provides a measurement device and method for measuring a cyclist's power output, in response to an external force provided by said cyclist applied to a bicycle, including a force sensor (13), characterised in that said force sensor is embedded in a bicycle cleat (11) bolted to the shoe (10). The invention further provides an accelerometer (14) for measuring a cyclist's power output. The inventive device and method provides a number of advantages over prior art solutions. The device of the invention means that the installation does not need any part of the bicycle to be replaced. The present invention does not restrict the type of components that may be used on the bicycle. Because the sensors are embedded in the cleat it is very simple to move the system to another bicycle. The invention also allows for detailed analysis of pedalling style, leading to improvements in efficiency.

    摘要: The invention pertains to the establishment, implementation and management of a personalized information system pertinent to a user's general health, wellness and/or sport performance. A novel set of portable devices with calorimetric, metabolic sensing, computing and communication capabilities are used for non-stop real-time measurement and display as well as long-term logging of highly accurate information about a user's metabolic state. Continuous real-time feedback on the user's respiratory quotient (RQ) and other data may be provided. A novel dual-battery system is also provided by which an uninterrupted power supply can be provided for electronic components. The personalized information system is further designed to consider measured and calculated metabolic parameters in relation to manually specified, user-specific goal(s), and to provide feedback about the user's progress with regards to these goals over the short- and long term. The system may be used to continuously determine the real-time nutritional state, energy uptake and energy expenditure level of the user, and may provide subsequent personalized nutritional- and exercise guidance to advance the user's efficiency at achieving and maintaining his/her specific health, wellness and/or sport performance goal(s). The invention also integrates user information, such as, but not limited to real-time energy uptake and real-time energy balance with social networking/gaming and other social interactions.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a device (100) for measuring a cycling cadence, a method (500) of operating a device (100) for measuring a cycling cadence, and a cycling cadence computer program. The device (100) comprises a motion sensor (such as, e.g., an accelerometer) for detecting a movement of the device (100) and for generating a motion signal (x, y, z) corresponding to the movement; a cadence determination unit (300) for determining cycling cadence based on the motion signal (x, y, z). The device (100) can be worn on the cyclist's wrist or arm (110). The motion sensor in the device is able to pick up the tiny movements of the arm or wrist that correspond to the cadence. Optionally, an algorithm is applied that can derive the cadence from a noisy signal.

    摘要: A solution for monitoring accumulated physical activity is disclosed. A method according to the solution comprises: acquiring target accumulation parameters defining a target total amount of physical activity for a user to accumulate within an observation interval, wherein the amount of physical activity is defined in terms of an attribute measurable during the physical activity; distributing the target accumulation parameters into a plurality of subsets in a time domain such that each subset is associated with a time sub-interval and a target accumulation value, wherein the sum of the sub-intervals equals to the observation interval; and monitoring the physical activity of the user during a sub-interval by comparing a measured accumulation of the physical activity with the target accumulation derived from at least the target accumulation value of the sub-interval and by outputting a progress indicator indicating the measured accumulation of the physical activity with respect to the target accumulation.
