トレーニングの効果はどの程度なのかを客観的に把握す
る簡易な計測装置がないのが現状である。(Background Art) In recent years, people who play sports such as baseball and tennis tend to engage in a lot of weight training in order to gain basic physical strength for exercise. However, at present, there is no simple measuring device that can objectively grasp the current level of muscle training or the effectiveness of training.
（発明の目的）
本発明は上記の点に鑑みてなしたもので、その目的とす
るところは、運動中に於ける筋肉の緊張レベルを簡単に

筋肉の収縮・緊張ｉ、その筋肉を支配している運動神経
系の興奮活動によって起こる。筋肉が神経系からの刺激
を得ると活動電位が現れ、筋が収ｉする。すなわち筋肉
が弛緩しているときには、活動電位は現れないが、少し
でも活動すると、それに対応して活動電位が現れる。(Disclosure of the Invention) Muscle contraction and tension i are caused by the excitatory activity of the motor nervous system controlling the muscles. When a muscle receives stimulation from the nervous system, an action potential appears and the muscle contracts. In other words, when a muscle is relaxed, no action potential appears, but when the muscle is activated even slightly, an action potential appears.

而して、筋電波形の密度は、各人の筋肉鍛練塵によって
それぞれ異なり、同じ負荷をかけても筋肉の緊張レベル
が異なる。これが個人差である。Therefore, the density of myoelectric waveforms differs depending on each person's muscle training, and even when the same load is applied, the muscle tension level differs. This is an individual difference.

゛れぽよいことが１′りる。Therefore, to measure muscle strength during exercise, first contract the muscle you are about to measure to the maximum, hold that value, and then set the muscle relaxation state during exercise to 100% from the time of maximum contraction.
Compare the level of level when expressed as %”4
There will be 1' good things to do.
