Abstract
The present invention involves a test subject performing a sit-to-stand (STS) operation while wearing a device (MD) that contains an acceleration sensor () on the front of the chest. The present invention derives a muscular strength index (maximum acceleration value per unit of muscle mass during STS activity) representing the muscular strength of a human body by obtaining maximum acceleration value data from a signal expressing the size of an acceleration vector comprising a tri-axial component in detected acceleration, and using the maximum acceleration value data and the muscle mass or body fat mass of the text subject.
