Article Abstract
Shinshu University and an NPO "JTRC" (Jukunen Taiiku Daigaku Research Center; a health promotion and support organization) provide exercise guidance focused on walking activity with the object of enhancing strength among elderly individuals. Sanyo Electric has developed an exercise meter as a tool to promote these efforts effectively. This exercise meter is equipped with a function providing estimates of energy consumption, leg muscle strength, and endurance based on triaxial acceleration data from the lumbar region. In this paper, we provide an outline of the estimation techniques and present an application of this exercise meter.
