Design of exercise quantity monitoring and recording device for navy serviceman / 医疗卫生装备

Objective To develop a portable device to monitor and record the exercise quantity of navy serviceman. The device was composed of control components, a oscillator clock, buttons, 3D acceleration sensor and a organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen. The monitoring involved in two modes of exclusive use and use combined with exercise apparatus.Methods The device could be connected with PC for data transmission through USB interface. Results Trials proved that the device met the desired requirements and could be used for the data acquisition and monitoring of the exercise quantity of the serviceman.ConclusionThe device can record and evaluate the physical fitness training of navy serviceman.

Design of an instrument of measuring individual physical consumption in army training / 医疗卫生装备

Exercise quantity is one of the important indexes used to evaluate physical consumption during training, so it is necessary to design a kind of instrument to accurately measure physical consuption. It must be practical, portable and with a low power consumption. This article introduces the mechanism of measuring exercise quantity. The methods of traditional and acceleration compared, the latter is selected. The design is described from the two aspects of general design and component choosing.

Magnitude of decrease in intraocular pressure depends upon intensity of exercise

The present study was planned to investigate the relationship between the magnitude of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction after short-duration exercise and the intensity, duration and quantity of exercise in healthy subjects. Twenty-five healthy, sedentary male of the same age group, performed exercises at the levels of 80%, 60%, and 40% maximum heart rate (HRmax) for 15 minutes, 80% HRmax for 7.5 minutes, 60% HRmax for 10 minutes, and 40% HRmax for 30 minutes. IOP was measured with the Goldmann applanation tonometer. The IOP reduction at 5 minutes after 15 minutes of exercising at 80% HRmax, 60% HRmax, and 40% HRmax were 4.7 +/- 0.9, 3.5 +/- 0.7, and 0.9 +/- 0.4 mmHg, respectively. At five minutes, after exercising 7.5 minutes at 80% HRmax, 10 minutes at 60% HRmax, and 30 minutes at 40% HRmax, IOP reduced by 4.5 +/- 0.7, 3.3 +/- 0.9, and 2.9 +/- 1.1 mmHg, respectively. This study concludes that intensity of exercise seems responsible for the magnitude of the initial IOP decrease after short-term exercise. Furthermore, it seems that other factors such as duration of exercise or quantity of exercise, blood pressures, body mass index are not related to the amount of the initial fall in IOP.
