Physical fitness refers to the ability of the body to perform tasks or do one of the physical activities well without being tired quickly. The objective of this research is to develop a physical fitness instrument for measuring oneself heart rate, grip strength, and reaction time that could develop a model for a self-check-up on physical fitness which helps to plan the improvement for health which is called the "FIBER-FIT" model.
The physical fitness measuring instrument is composed of three modules; (1) heart rate meter module using a green light emitting diode and a photosensor, (2) grip strength meter module using a load cell transducer, and (3) reaction time meter module using a computer graphical function. All modules are controlled by computer programming, LabVIEW. The program could measure the physical fitness parameters in real-time and display the results in graphs, values on a computer monitor. The data could be recorded on cloud storage and could be retrieved for viewing and analyzing from anywhere via the internet.
Getting the "FIBER-FIT" model, a physical fitness measuring instrument to evaluate and analyze the results in real time. Overall performance test results were comparable to the standard commonly used instruments. The satisfaction survey scores from the participants were 33.33% and 66.67% for the highest level and the high level, respectively.
The Cloud "FIBER-FIT" model is recommended for physical fitness applications for health improvement.
身体素质是指身体能够完成任务或出色地进行一项体育活动而不会很快感到疲劳的能力。本研究的目的是开发一种身体素质测量仪器,用于测量个人的心率、握力和反应时间,从而建立一个用于自我健康检查的模型,以帮助规划健康改善方案,即“纤维健康”模型。
身体素质测量仪器由三个模块组成;(1)使用绿色发光二极管和光电传感器的心率计模块,(2)使用称重传感器的握力计模块,(3)使用计算机图形功能的反应时间计模块。所有模块均由计算机编程LabVIEW控制。该程序可以实时测量身体素质参数,并在计算机显示器上以图表、数值形式显示结果。数据可以记录在云存储中,并可以通过互联网从任何地方检索以进行查看和分析。
获得了“纤维健康”模型,一种用于实时评估和分析结果的身体素质测量仪器。整体性能测试结果与常用标准仪器相当。参与者的满意度调查得分中,最高水平和高水平分别为33.33%和66.67%。
推荐云“纤维健康”模型用于改善健康的身体素质应用。
