- Abstract:
- Estimation method of consumption energy for human daily cycle was studied using triple axes attached on the sternum. It is important to estimate the posture and movement in order to get reliable values of consumption of energy. Consumption of energy for various postures and movements was obtained in relation to consumption of oxygen during respiration. In our 24 hour daily cycle, the most common postures and movements are walking, running, standing still, standing with a little movement, sitting still, reclining, and sleeping. And consumption of energy for our living depends on the type of movement. Consumption of energy for human movement is varied, but appropriate data could be obtained by accelerometer to estimate consumption of energy. Additionally, type of movement and consumption of energy could be shown to have a correlation.
