It is important to mesure energy metabolism for human health. Current mainstream activity meters show large inaccuracies in the estimation of energy metabolism for small mothion. In this study, we examined the estimation method of energy metabolism during exercise with small motion by using electromyography and heart rate, both of which are correlated with energy metabolism. We chose wrist curl a type muscular strength training to represent movement with small motion, and considered the flexor carpi radials and biceps brachii as target muscles. Multiple regression analysis was used to estimate energy metabolism; this allowed us to estimate that there is an error of about 25% when estimating total energy metabolism. Although comparison was carried out at ten-second intervals, estimation was difficult because of the large variation of experiment values. This study suggests that total energy metabolism during exercise with small motion can be estimated by using myoelectric potentials and heart rate.
