Abstract
The present invention relates to a device () for measuring a cycling cadence, a method () of operating a device () for measuring a cycling cadence, and a cycling cadence computer program. The device () comprises a motion sensor (such as, e.g., an accelerometer) for detecting a movement of the device () and for generating a motion signal (x, y, z) corresponding to the movement; a cadence determination unit () for determining cycling cadence based on the motion signal (x, y, z). The device () can be worn on the cyclist's wrist or arm (). The motion sensor in the device is able to pick up the tiny movements of the arm or wrist that correspond to the cadence. Optionally, an algorithm is applied that can derive the cadence from a noisy signal.
