METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING EXERCISE CAPACITY
First Claim
1. A method of estimating exercise capacity of a subject using output radiofrequency signals transmitted to the subject during exercise and input radiofrequency signals received from the subject during exercise, the method comprising:
- determining a phase shift of the input radiofrequency signals relative to the output radiofrequency signals;
calculating cardiac output based on said phase shift; and
using said cardiac output for estimating the exercise capacity of the subject.

Abstract
A method of estimating exercise capacity of a subject is disclosed. The method uses output radiofrequency signals transmitted to the subject during exercise and input radiofrequency signals received from the subject during exercise. The method comprises: determining a phase shift of the input radiofrequency signals relative to the output radiofrequency signals; calculating cardiac output based on the phase shift; and using the cardiac output for estimating the exercise capacity of the subject.
