Disclosed is an exercise amount measuring device using as an exercise signal generator an inclination detector commercially available, which can detect two-dimensional movements. Use of such inclination detectors facilitates the assembling of exercise amount measuring devices. The inclination detector 1 is connected to a counter circuit 3 via an input circuit 2, and the input circuit 2 and the counter circuit 3 are connected to an MPU 5 via an input-and-output port 4. The input circuit 2 comprises a CR circuit or a flip-flop circuit. The counter circuit 3 counts input pulses post-chattering exclusion, which input pulses are caused by the on-and-off switching actions, which are brought every time the contact ball 13 touches selected contact electrodes 12 in the inclination detector.
An exercise signal generator characterized in that it comprises means for counting movements in an exercise, comprising a casing, a spherical body rolling freely in the casing and contact switches responsive to the touching of the spherical body thereon for turning on, whereby the number of movements in the exercise may be determined judging from signals appearing at the cease of the exercise and from exercise signals appearing every time the rolling spherical body makes selected contact switches turn on or off.
