Device and method for measuring power and energy of human running and walking in their physical meaning

摘要

The subject matter of our invention is a device apt for measuring the physical efficiency and power output of human running, walking or other motions, which is made up of at least a measuring device fastened in or on a shoe (21) and/or on its sole (22) and a central measuring device that performs data transmission (2) with it, and an accelerometer (25, 51) and sensors (23, 31) suitable for measuring various physical parameters. Another subject matter of our invention is a method for the application of the device apt for measuring physical efficiency and power output of human running, walking or other motion caused by forces exerted by the lower extremity. A characteristic feature of our invention is that it has arithmetic unit (43, 48) apt for computing physical data of motions; a measuring device that is made up of a shoe unit (41) that is responsible for measuring the components of the force (15) emerging on the contact plane (11) between the sole (22) and the ground; the shoe unit (41) contains a transceiver unit (44) and a battery (45); furthermore the central measuring device is made up of a central unit (46) fastened close to the centre of body mass (17), which is apt for capturing velocity data; this central unit (46) is made up of a central transceiver (49) and a central battery (50). Fig, 1 is deemed as characteristic.
