Outline of Final Research Achievements

A personal AT (Anaerobic Threshold) cloud be estimated in correlation coefficient 0.92 using only 0, 4 and 8 [km/h] runnings by neural networks. It was found that the cortisol density that was a stress index was minimized in 97.0% of AT by running experiments in 80%, 100%, 120% of AT. And it was also found that Two Dimension Mood Scale that was a psychological arousal index was maximized in 89.8% of AT by the same running experiments.
A real time heart beat rate control system by running to rhythm was designed and its prototype was made. The target heart beat rate for Emotional Fitness was set in 97% of AT and then outdoor running experiments were conducted wearing the prototype controller for two runners. It was confirmed that the errors between the target and average heart beat rates for 10 minutes were 0.6% and 3.6% for two runners, respectively.
