An acceleration sensor measures accelerations of the subject which act in directions of axes x, y, and z orthogonal to each other when the subject walks. A leg strength calculation unit calculates leg strength of the subject based on values of the accelerations measured by the acceleration sensor.

Leg strength calculation device, leg strength calculation method, and program

An endurance calculation device according to the present invention includes: an acceleration sensor measuring acceleration acting on the subject; an impulse calculation unit calculating impulse acting on the subject based on a value of the acceleration outputted from the acceleration sensor; an output unit outputting walking information, which is information prompting the subject to increase walking speed from low speed to a maximum speed; and an endurance calculation unit calculating, based on a value of the impulse calculated by the impulse calculation unit, endurance of the subject corresponding to the value of the impulse after the first walking information is outputted by the output unit.
