Abstract

An exercise analysis system includes: a calculation unit which calculates exercise energy of a user, based on output of an inertial sensor which is put on the user; and a generation unit which generates exercise ability information which is information relating to an exercise ability of the user, based on the exercise energy, a running distance, and a running time.

Claims

1. An exercise analysis apparatus comprising:

a calculation unit which calculates exercise energy of a user, based on output of an inertial sensor; and

a generation unit which generates exercise ability information which is information relating to an exercise ability of the user, based on the exercise energy, a running distance, and a running time.

2. The exercise analysis apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

an evaluation unit which evaluates the exercise ability of the user, based on the exercise ability information.

3. The exercise analysis apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

an output unit which outputs a comparison between the exercise ability information of the user and exercise ability information of another user.

10. The exercise analysis apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

an acquisition unit which acquires the running distance and the running time.

4. An exercise analysis apparatus comprising:

a calculation unit which calculates exercise energy of a user, based on output of an inertial sensor; and

a generation unit which generates physical ability information which is information relating to a physical ability of the user, based on the exercise energy, a running distance, and a running time.

5. The exercise analysis apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising:

an evaluation unit which evaluates the physical ability of the user, based on the physical ability information.

6. The exercise analysis apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising:

an output unit which outputs a comparison between the physical ability information of the user and physical ability information of another user.

11. The exercise analysis apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising:

an acquisition unit which acquires the running distance and the running time.

7. An exercise analysis apparatus comprising:

a calculation unit which calculates exercise energy of a user, based on output of an inertial sensor; and

a generation unit which generates exercise ability information which is information relating to an exercise ability of the user and physical ability information which is information relating to a physical ability of the user, based on the exercise energy, a running distance, and a running time.

8. The exercise analysis apparatus according to claim 7, further comprising:

an evaluation unit which evaluates at least one of the exercise ability and the physical ability of the user, based on the exercise ability information and the physical ability information.

9. The exercise analysis apparatus according to claim 7, further comprising:

an output unit which outputs a comparison between the exercise ability information and the physical ability information of the user, and exercise ability information and physical ability information of another user.

12. The exercise analysis apparatus according to claim 7, further comprising:

an acquisition unit which acquires the running distance and the running time.
