Human Motion Classification At Cycle Basis Of Repetitive Joint Movement

One or more computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed, implement a method for classifying human motion as corresponding to an activity, the method comprising the acts of:

• sensing motion characteristics associated with the activity using one or more motion sensors to generate a first set of data;
• identifying a cycle interval in the first set of data;
• and
• identifying the activity based on the interval.

A system for classifying motion as corresponding to an activity, the system comprising:

• a memory configured to store motion data;
• a processing circuit configured to carry out the following acts:
• sensing motion characteristics associated with the activity using one or more motion sensors attached to a subject to generate a first set of motion data;
• storing the motion data in the memory;
• identifying a cycle interval in the first set of motion data;
• and
• identifying the activity based on the interval.

A method for assessing fitness of a human subject, the method comprising:

• sensing characteristics associated with activities engaged in by the subject using one or more sensors attached to predetermined positions on the subject;
• identifying a cyclical pattern in at least one of the sensed characteristics;
• identifying the activities based on the sensed characteristics and the cyclical pattern;
• and
• assessing a fitness of the subject based on the identified activities.
