Abstract
The invention relates to measuring devices to be used in physical measuring, and more particularly, to a method and a device for measuring the progress of a moving person. In the solution according to the invention the quantities describing the progress of the moving person are being calculated based on step cycle-specific acceleration stage characteristic accelerations a+ and step cycle-specific braking stage characteristic acceleration a− obtained from acceleration values measured by means of an acceleration sensor, and on the measured time. The invention aims at providing a solution, better and simpler than prior solutions, for measuring the progress of a moving person, which solution is applicable for use in a multitude of measuring solutions for ways of locomotion of various types.
