Abstract(s)
This paper describes the experimental method focused on the acquisition of various physiological parameters
during different effort levels of physical exercise like walking and running at several velocities. The study
involved 57 young and adult people, 43 male and 14 female (24,37±5,96 years), from which 48 were soldiers
belonging to the Infantry Regiment n.° 13 (RI13) of the Portuguese Army and 9 were teachers or college
students of Sport Sciences, physically active but not competitive. The experimental measures provide a set
of information that offers insight about the health status and physical performance of the subjects during
exercise. This experimental method procedure is suited for the acquisition of physiological parameters with
both the wireless physiological data acquisition systems such as the bioPlux and the respiratory analyzer gas
systems such as Cosmed K4b2.The data was collected to allow the definition of a model that will be used to
estimate the energy expenditure of a subject using a wireless physiological data acquisition system, which is
much more comfortable and suitable to monitor physical exercise in everyday use than the standard method
that makes use of a respiratory gas analysis system.
