1. A method of confirming a performer of a fitness exercise,the method comprising the following steps:
- measuring heart rate information associated with the performer of the fitness exercise as regards the fitness exercise;
forming an identifier value in one or more classes on the basis of one or more parameters of the measured heart rate information by means of a mathematical model comprising dependence information between said parameter of the heart rate information and said class;
confirming the performer of the fitness exercise by comparing in said one or more classes the identifier value with a reference value formed for the performer of the fitness exercise in the class.

Abstract
The invention presents a system for confirming a performer of a fitness exercise. The system includes a heart rate monitor (104) for measuring heart rate parameters (404A to 404N) associated with the fitness exercise from the heart rate of the performer. The system also includes a mathematical model (406) including dependence information between heart rate parameters (404A to 404N) and classes classifying the performer in classes (402A to 402N) such as age or weight. Heart rate parameter data measured from the performer and information in the mathematical model are utilized in identifying the performer of the fitness exercise.
