Muscle fatigue measuring equipment is provided by which one can know muscle fatigue status objectively and easily. Embodiments include equipment for performing the steps of substituting a myoelectric value based on a measured myoelectric potential and a stored myoelectric value into an arithmetic expression for determining a myoelectric change; and substituting an extracellular fluid measured using biological impedance and a stored extracellular fluid value into an arithmetic expression for determining a change in extracellular fluid. The presence or absence of muscle fatigue, the equilibrium state of muscle fatigue, and the progress of muscle fatigue is determined using the determined myoelectric change and extracellular fluid change.

There is provided a skin condition estimating apparatus which allows a user to know a skin condition by more sensory characteristics. In impedance measuring means 101, a contact impedance and an internal impedance are measured. In biological equivalent model associated parameter estimating means 102, parameters associated with an equivalent model constituting a living tissue are estimated based on the measured internal impedance. In skin condition estimating means 103, a skin condition is estimated based on at least one of the measured contact impedance, the measured internal impedance, and the estimated parameters associated with an equivalent model constituting a living tissue.

There is provided an apparatus capable of carrying out an accurate bioelectrical impedance measurement by determining whether contact of a living body with electrodes used at the time of the bioelectrical impedance measurement is normal or not more accurately. The apparatus uses a parameter associated with a phase difference in determining the contact condition of the living body with the electrodes. As the parameter associated with a phase difference, the apparatus uses a value represented by X/R wherein R is a resistance component in a bioelectrical impedance to be measured and X is a reactance component in the bioelectrical impedance and determines that contact of the living body with the electrodes is not normal when the value of X/R is out of a determination range such as a

A living body impedance measurement apparatus is provided which measures a voltage attributed to the impedance of a living body, and separates it into a voltage attributed to a resistance component and a voltage attributed to a reactance component. Then, the voltage attributed to the resistance component, the voltage attributed to the reactance component, and resistance and reactance components of an impedance of an external reference unit are substituted into an impedance calculation formula that accounts for impedance fluctuation. A fluctuation constant is thereby calculated that is a constant for a fluctuation variable representing fluctuation caused by impedance change factors. The resistance component and the reactance component of a true impedance of the living body are then calculated based on the fluctuation constant and the measured living body impedance.

Disclosed is an apparatus for measuring an activity of autonomic nerve, comprising: a sympathetic nerve activity measuring unit; a parasympathetic nerve activity measuring unit; a memory unit; and an evaluation unit. According to the present invention the sympathetic nerve activity measuring unit measures an activity of the sympathetic nerve and the parasympathetic nerve activity measuring unit measures an activity of the parasympathetic nerve antagonistically functioning with the sympathetic nerve. The memory unit stores reference data acting as the criterion for comparing with relation between psychosomatic conditions based on the activity of the sympathetic nerve and the activity of the parasympathetic nerve. The evaluation unit compares measurement data representing the activity of the sympathetic nerve measured by said sympathetic nerve activity measuring unit and the activity of the parasympathetic nerve measured by said parasympathetic nerve activity measuring unit with said reference data stored in said memory unit for evaluating the relation between psychosomatic conditions.

An activity information meter is provided which is capable of stable transmission between a measuring device and an output device and is highly convenient. In a measuring device 1 or 101 and an output device 51 or 151, a selector is placed between a current output section and each electrode and between a voltage detection section and at least one electrode and a transmission route is selected as appropriate, thereby making possible bidirectional transmission using a body as a medium, a change in potential is detected based on a reference potential at the time of reception without using the earth as a reference potential or a voltage generated based on a body part impedance is detected without using the earth as a reference potential. As a result, the activity information meter is hardly influenced by the environment.
