When the person A to be measured stands up, the switch unit 6150 positioned in front of the person A to be measured is horizontally swept by hand, that is, in the horizontal direction ((b) of FIG. 4 ). Then, the switch unit 6150 is switched between on and off (step S908), and the sensor 500 detects the switched state, and the time measurement by the measuring instrument 400 ends (step S910).

The measured measurement time information is sent to the terminal device 300, and the attribute information including the information about the person A to be measured and the measurement date and time is attached (step S912). After that, the measurement time information and the attribute information are sent to the server 100 and stored in the subject information storage area 140d and the user information storage area 140g under the control of the user information management unit 150 (step S914).

It should be noted that the measurement of the standing ability by the standing ability measuring device 610 may be performed twice and the earlier measurement time may be adopted. Alternatively, the average value obtained by measuring a plurality of times may be used.

The gait ability is measured by the gait ability measuring device 620. Before the measurement, the person A stands on the back side (left side in FIG. 5) of the mat switch 6210 with respect to the traveling direction, and the person A turns the mat switch 6210 on. Measurement is started by stepping on one foot (see step S1002 in FIG. 10) (step S1004). That is, since the on/off state is switched by stepping on the mat switch 6210 with one foot, the sensor 500 detects the switching state and the time measurement by the measuring instrument 400 is started.

The person A to be measured moves forward while avoiding the obstacle 6220 by zigzag walking, turns back at the obstacle 6220 located at the rightmost end in FIG. 10, and zigzags in the opposite direction in the same way as the outward path, and again presses the mat switch 6210. When stepping on (step S1006), the on/off state is switched, so that the sensor 500 detects the state of the switching and the time measurement by the measuring instrument 400 ends (step S1008).

The measured measurement time information is sent to the terminal device 300, and the attribute information including the information about the person A to be measured and the measurement date and time is attached (step S1010). Then, the measurement time information and the attribute information are sent to the server 100 and stored in the subject information storage area 140d and the user information storage area 140g under the control of the user information management unit 150 (step S1012).

After that, the person A to be measured (not shown in FIG. 8) first stands with the ball in his right hand toward the wall surface 6520, and touches the lower mat switch 6510 with the ball to turn it on and off. It switches (step S2104). The sensor 500 detects this switching state, and the time measurement by the measuring instrument 400 is started (step S2106).

After touching the lower mat switch 6510, the person A to be measured touches the ball on the right mat switch 6510, the upper mat switch 6510, and the left mat switch 6510 in this order. After that, when the person A to be measured again touches the lower mat switch 6510, the sensor 500 detects the on/off switching (step S2108), and the time measurement by the measuring instrument 400 ends (step S2110). .

Subsequently, the person A to be measured carries the ball in his left hand and performs the same measurement (step S2112). When the measurement with the right hand and the left hand is completed (step S2114), the total time is calculated by the four arithmetic functions of the measuring instrument 400 (step S2116), and the identification information regarding the person A to be measured and the attribute information including the measurement date and time are attached. (Step S2118). After that, the measurement time information and the attribute information as the total value are sent to the server 100 and stored in the subject information storage area 140d and the user information storage area 140h under the control of the user information management unit 150 (step). S2120).

When the terminal device 900 requests the server 100 to provide an exercise program that is valid or appropriate for the person A to be measured based on the measurement data (see step S2302 in FIG. 23), the server 100 recognizes the request information, The control management unit 110 activates the user information management unit 150. Then, the information about the person A to be measured is recognized by referring to the person-to-be-measured information storage area 140d and the user information storage area 140h (step S2304), and the person-to-be-measured A is matched by referring to the table information storage area 140f. The exercise program is created based on the information in the physical activity support information area 140c (step S2306).
The exercise program created here relates to the exercise mode, exercise intensity, exercise time, exercise frequency, and exercise period in consideration of the age, sex, and disease state of the person A to be measured.

The exercise program created in this manner is stored in a predetermined area of the storage unit 140 and is also sent from the server 100 to the terminal device 900 (step S2308). The terminal device 900 specifies the subject to be measured by the management unit 960, stores the received exercise program in the memory 980 by associating the personal information with the subject to be measured (step S2310).

Thus, the exercise program associated with the personal information can be confirmed by the input/output unit 940 (step S2312).

To check the created exercise program for the person A to be measured at a later date, it may be performed via the input/output unit 940 of the terminal device 900.
