Abstract
Pulses detected by an earlobe sensor are inputted in a microcomputer, so that the number of pulses is stored every lapse of a prescribed time. The as-stored numbers of the pulses are so cumulated that an average pulse rate is calculated from the cumulative result. On the other hand, a pulse rate is calculated from the as-stored numbers of pulses, to calculate a consumed calorie. A display part indicates the cumulative result of the pulse rates, the consumed calorie and the like with a lapse time.
