Abstract
The invention provides a state-of-exercise measuring apparatus and a biometric apparatus configured to measure a state of exercise of a user accurately and easily in real time by calculating biometric impedances of the user doing an exercise and utilizing a change of the biometric impedances. A state-of-exercise measuring apparatus according to an aspect of the invention includes: a conducting electrode configured to come into contact with the user to supply an electric current; a measuring electrode configured to acquire a voltage of the electric current being supplied from the conducting electrode and flowing in the user's body; a biometric impedance calculating unit configured to calculate a biometric impedance of the user from a current value supplied from the conducting electrode and a voltage value measured by the measuring electrode; and a state determining unit configured to determine a state of exercise on the basis of a first biometric impedance value of the user in a predetermined state and a second biometric impedance value of the user in a state of exercise different from the predetermined state.
