Dynamic Measurement to Keep Suitable Physical Strength in Exercise by Body Area Network Sensing System

This paper shows the dynamic measurement system to keep a constant physical strength by monitoring a heart rate in exercise. To monitor the heart rate, the measurement system had been constructed as a wearable and small scale wireless network system put on body. That was named Body area network sensing system(BANSS). BANSS is constructed with a host system and plural sensing nodes. Sensing node has sensors, microprocessor and near field communication device(NFCD). The sensing node is the subsystem which measures the physical parameters of user in exercise, and sends them to the host system regularly. BANSS is not only the system to measure physical parameters. By analysis of them, BANSS estimates present physical condition and generate a suitable advice to keep constant physical strength and informs it to the subject in exercise. In actual exercise by using BANSS, it is confirmed that constant physical strength is kept. This means that the interaction between user and BANSS has functioned successively.
