Abstract
In the fat burning value calculating apparatus (), an electrocardiographic signal is detected (-) at the start of exercise, and a heart rate is calculated from the detected value. Further, a power of heart rate variability is calculated, and an AT level is determined from the variability power. Once the AT level is determined, a preset exercise program is executed. A work load during the exercise is detected, and consumed calories are calculated. Thereafter, the electrocardiographic signal during the exercise is detected, the heart rate is calculated from the detected signal, and a fat burning rate during the exercise is calculated. A fat burning amount is calculated from the consumed calories and the fat burning rate, their accumulated values are also calculated, and these values are displayed. As a result, it is possible to provide a fat burning value calculating method and a fat burning value calculating apparatus () which ensure accurate calculation of the fat burning rate and the fat burning amount of an individual during exercise, regardless of increase/decrease of exercise intensity.
