ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an electronic device for measuring the time interval between the occurrence of any two successive ones of a plurality of similar events, specifically, the time interval between footsteps in jogging, running or walking, or the leg or arm motion associated with bicycling, rowing, swimming, cross-country skiing or the like, and for providing bio-feedback information to a user in the form of an alarm signal when: the measured interval is less than a predetermined low limit; the measured interval is greater than a predetermined high limit. The device includes a transducer for producing a signal at the detection of the occurrence of each event. The signals are fed to both a timing circuit and a detection circuit. The timing circuit measures the time interval between two successive events, and the detection circuit determines if the measured interval is between the high and low limits. If it is not, a signal is fed to an output circuit which then provides an audible alarm. The audible signal is different for a low interval than for a high interval. As a result of this bio-feedback information, the user can appropriately modify his behaviour.
