Abstract: A terminal is provided for monitoring at least one activity of a user. The terminal includes a connecting means, at least one acceleration sensor and a controller. The connecting means, which can include a strap, belt, clip, lanyard or the like, is adapted for attaching the terminal onto a body of the user. The acceleration sensor(s) are capable of measuring and providing acceleration measurement signals representative of movement of the user in performing an activity. And the controller is capable of operating an activity detection application, which is capable of receiving at least a portion of the measurement signals. The activity detection application is also capable of determining at least one value related to the user performing the selected activity based upon the acceleration measurement signals, the at least one value being an intensity value representing an intensity with which the user performs the activity.
