METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR MONITORING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES, ESPECIALLY SPORTS ACTIVITIES

During a personalized monitoring procedure facilitating safe and effective sport or rehabilitation activities, in the preparatory section user anamnesis and activity protocol data are recorded; at an idle phase, based on current heart rate measurement, we decide whether the activity can be continued; at a load phase, we monitor changes in physiological parameters, related to the physical activity, primarily the parameters that determine safe heart operation and, if necessary, provide a warning; in a regeneration phase, heart rate deceleration stage is monitored, heart rate variability parameters are calculated, and the result obtained is taken into account when monitoring in relation to the next training, while evaluating the idle phase. Related apparatus comprises a data processing unit connected to measuring electrodes and sensors and a display unit in wireless communication with the data processing unit. The latter is preferably a smartphone, while the data processing unit includes expert knowledge of the physiology of the monitored training that enables procedure execution.
