Abstract
Methods and systems for assessing cardio-respiratory fitness (CRF) with the use of body motion data is disclosed. Specific measurements of body movement (for example, motion amplitude or velocity, or distance covered during repetitive displacement) are dependent on a user's fitness level. Embodiments prompt the user to execute a simple set of periodic movements which can be used to estimate cardiovascular function (e.g., VO). Body motion data, such as activity count, accelerometer signals, or cadence of motion, is captured and analyzed to estimate the user's fitness. The combination of body motion data with various physical measurements (e.g. body weight, height, BMI) permits the method to predict the user's VOor similar physical fitness parameters.
