Abstract

Exercising plays an important role in maintaining a healthy life. For patients who have undergone cardiac surgery exercise may help to restore physical condition and decrease the recovery time. Doctors perform on patients endurance tests such as the VO2 max using an ergometer to evaluate their condition, these tests however are very intense and cannot be used for exercising as a regular basis. This paper presents a system that can be used for the evaluation of the response of vital parameters to physical activity without exhausting the patient and can motivate them to do exercise. A small study consisting on 14 healthy subjects is presented to show the usability of the proposed system.
