  • Publication number: 20230157606
    Abstract: In a physical strength evaluation system, a reference storage stores a walking heart rate reference in which a correspondence relationship of a standard value of a relative heart rate with respect to a walking speed is defined for every gender and every age, a speed acquisition unit acquires a measured value of a walking speed of a subject, a heart rate acquisition unit acquires a measured value of the relative heart rate of the subject. A standard value derivation unit derives the standard value of the relative heart rate corresponding to the measured value of the walking speed that has been acquired, based on the walking heart rate reference. A level determination unit determines an evaluation value of a physical strength level of the subject, based on a difference between the measured value of the relative heart rate and the standard value of the relative heart rate.
