Determination of activity parameter with ECG

Within the scope of the project, a system for determining physical performance parameters is being researched, developed and tested. The ultimate goal is to give healthy test subjects and their carers an easy-to-use method for determining their physical performance as well as initial indications (screening) for possible pathological changes in cardiac activity. The "sports EKG" should make this possible by means of an EKG measurement under stress on the bicycle ergometer or on the treadmill and a new type of evaluation of the ST segment. The system enables the manual and, if necessary, the automatic determination of the anaerobic threshold and thus the training control and monitoring of ambitious amateur athletes. Furthermore, the aim is to find and monitor a “safe” training area during rehabilitation. Last but not least, the sports EKG can provide information on maintaining the health of large sections of the population and enable better prevention of cardiovascular diseases and their early detection. The internet-based analysis and management of the measurement data enables the involvement of medical specialists.
