  • Method for adjusting of controlling the diet and/or a person's consumption
    Patent number: 7175595
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for adjusting or controlling the diet and/or consumption of carbohydrates and/or fats and/or proteins of a person who is subjected to a certain physical strain taking into consideration his/her individual performance potential to be determined.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for determining the stress capacity of a person
    Patent number: 6899676
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the stress capacity of a person taking into consideration the individual anaerobic threshold by measuring lactate concentrations in relation to physical effort. To make it possible to deduce from the changes in lactate concentration other performance data characteristic of the person tested, the invention provides for the following process steps: measurement of time-dependent lactate concentration changes above the individual anaerobic threshold; adjustment of the measurement cure, in which lactate concentration is recorded in relation to time, to the measurement values obtained in this way; determination of a first rise in the measurement curve at a time tIAT which corresponds to the individual anaerobic threshold: determination of at least one other rise in the measurement curve at a time tx where tx>tIAT and subtraction of the second rise from the first rise to determine a difference ?A.

  • Device and method for determination of the individual anaerobic threshold of a living organism
    Patent number: 5782772
    Abstract: A device for dynamic recording of respiratory, metabolic and/or ventilatory quantities during a process or influence conducive to lactate production, having a data processing facility (18) incorporating a display unit and also a computing unit, and having a device (20) connected via an analysis instrument (22) to said data processing facility for determination of respiratory minute volume and also of O.sub.2 content of CO.sub.2 content of said respiratory minute volume of inhaled or exhaled air, wherein with said computer unit using the respiratory measuring quantities of respiratory minute volume V.sub.e of the O.sub.2 content of the respiratory minute volume V.sub.o2 and of the CO.sub.2 content of the respiratory minute volume V.sub.co2 according to an algorithm, to permit determination of a quantity x as a function of the work performed per unit of time (P).
