Apparatus for determining degree of fatigue of human body
First Claim
1. An apparatus for determining a degree of fatigue of a human body, comprising:
- two pairs of electrodes;
an electric current source;
a voltage measuring unit;
an arithmetic unit;
a storage unit; and
a display unit, whereby said two pairs of electrodes are configured to contact with a body of a person under test;
said electric current source feeds a measurement current via selected ones of said electrodes;
said voltage measuring unit measures a voltage between another selected ones of said electrodes;
said storage unit stores a bioelectrical impedance calculated by said arithmetic unit and a reference value;
said arithmetic unit calculates the bioelectrical impedance based on the measurement value from said voltage measuring unit and a degree of fatigue of the person under test by comparing the currently measured value of the bioelectrical impedance with the reference value of the bioelectrical impedance stored in the storage unit; and
said display unit indicates the degree of fatigue of the person under test.

Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for determining a degree of fatigue of a human body, comprising: two pairs of electrodes; an electric current source; a voltage measuring unit; an arithmetic unit; a storage unit; and a display unit. The two pairs of electrodes are configured to contact with a body of a person under test. The electric current source feeds a measurement current via selected ones of said electrodes. The voltage measuring unit measures a voltage between another selected ones of said electrodes. The storage unit stores a bioelectrical impedance calculated by said arithmetic unit and a reference value. The arithmetic unit calculates the bioelectrical impedance based on the measurement value from said voltage measuring unit and a degree of fatigue of the person under test by comparing the currently measured value of the bioelectrical impedance with the reference value of the bioelectrical impedance stored in the storage unit. The display unit indicates the degree of fatigue of the person under test.
