Abstract: An electronic device and a wearable device for providing information on the exercise capacity of a user, and an operation method of the electronic device performing same. The electronic device may include: a communication module for receiving, from the wearable device, sensor data including movement information of a user wearing the wearable device; a processor(s) for estimating the exercise capacity of the user on the basis of the sensor data and generating exercise capacity information about the estimated exercise capacity; and a display module for outputting the exercise capacity information. The sensor data includes exercise information about movements performed by the user in accordance with one or more exercise programs presented to the user when the wearable device is in an exercise capacity evaluation mode. The processor(s) may determine the exercise capacity information on the basis of the exercise information and evaluation criteria information corresponding to the one or more exercise programs.

Abstract: An electronic device may: set a target heart rate for a user wearing a wearable device (e.g., walking assist device); receive information of the user's current heart rate; determine, on the basis of the current heart rate and the target heart rate, target exercise load such that the user's heart rate can correspond to the target heart rate; and control the wearable device such that the target exercise load is provided to the user. Various other embodiments may also be possible.

Abstract: An exercise program determining method and/or system may include obtaining basic exercise information of a user, determining at least one candidate exercise mode from among a plurality of exercise modes based on the basic exercise information, generating a plurality of exercise programs to include at least some of the at least one candidate exercise mode based on a target exercise result for the user, determining a target exercise amount for the user based on the basic exercise information, and determining a target exercise program from among the plurality of exercise programs based on the target exercise amount.
