Important results from the project
Our aim was to test if our apparatus could be used to detect ventilatory thresholds and to program a software to make data available to the consumer. We also aimed to test this during intense physical exercise.
Expected long term effects
The appparatus (hardware) worked and tests were performed in 18 individuals during intense physical exercise. We have developed an software that may extract and present data. The analysis however did not reach a completely automatic state, programming was too time (and money) consuming.
Approach and implementation
Practical tests were performed according to plan in 18 subjects. We bought an investigation regarding intellectual property that was delived as planned. Unfortunately the software development turned out to be more complicated than expected and the available time/money for made us reprioritize to get a working graphic software that made the idé usable, but not completely automated. It will require som training and interaction from the user to be useful. We do consider the project a success since we have shown the idea and reached a working technology.
