Abstract:
1. An exercise amount measuring device provided with a body fat measuring function comprising: a wearable casing having a display mounted on its front; electrodes appearing on the surface of the casing for measuring the bioelectrical impedance of a person who is using the device; personal data inputting means for inputting the sex, age, height and weight of the person; body fat percentage calculating means for determining the body fat percentage of the person from the personal data and the bioelectrical impedance of the person; basal metabolism calculating means for calculating the amount of the basal metabolism of the person from the personal data and the body fat percentage of the person; means for presetting a given body fat percentage as a goal; “to-be-reduced” body fat amount calculating means for determining the amount of “to-be-reduced” body fat from the difference between the present body fat percentage and the given body fat percentage preset as the goal; “to-be-reduced” calorie amount calculating means for calculating the calorie amount to be reduced for consuming the amount of “to-be-reduced” body fat; exercise amount measuring means responsive to two- or three-dimensional movement for determining which mode of movement and for measuring the amount of exercise; and consumed calorie amount measuring means for determining the calorie amount consumed actually by the exercise from the so determined mode of movement, the so measured amount of exercise and the so calculated amount of the basal metabolism of the person; whereby the “to-be-reduced” calorie amount and the calorie amount actually consumed by the exercise taken by the person in addition to the body fat percentage may be given in the display.
