Abstract: A measuring device and a method estimates the quantity and quality of exercises performed having an advantageous impact on cholesterol metabolism. In the method, accelerations exerted on a person during daily exercise performed by the person are continuously recorded by a measuring device including an acceleration transducer. The recorded results are visible in the measuring device or an external device. Based on the received feedback, the person can change the quantity and quality of his/her exercise so that it has an advantageous impact on cholesterol metabolism.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for detecting the type of physical exercise, in which method the accelerations caused by the exercise of a person are measured by an exercise type detector (10) in three dimensions and in which characteristics describing the acceleration, so-called membership degree functions, are calculated from the measurement results, by means of which characteristics the type of exercise is detected. In the method according to the invention, only an identifier indicating the type of exercise is saved in the memory of the exercise type detector, for which reason the memory capacity required in the device is small.
