The use of wearable devices or “wearables” in the physical activity domain has been
increasing in the last years. These devices are used as training tools providing the user with …

Maximizing healthy life expectancy is essential for enhancing well-being. Optimal exercise
intensity is crucial in promoting health and ensuring safe rehabilitation. Since heart rate is …

The virtual control strategy for mechanical systems has been recently proposed (Gnucci and
Marino, 2021) in the context of under-actuated mechanical systems. Such a strategy views …

Background Heart rate can be used to prescribe exercise intensity for development and
maintenance of cardiorespiratory fitness. The aim of this study was to identify the dynamics …

We prove the existence of a P-type (proportional-type) space-learning control, which, on the
basis of a kinematic third order nonlinear model of an autonomous nonholonomic vehicle …

A lighting system composed of three color light-emitting diode (LED) strings is considered.
On the basis of a simplified dynamic model (with uncertainties) for the aforementioned …

Nowadays, fuzzy-logic systems are implemented to control machinery or processes that
previously required human manipulation. The main objective of this research is to propose a …

Objective To develop a unified heart rate (HR) control approach for cycle ergometer (CE)
and treadmill (TM) exercise, and to empirically compare the common controller's …

The heart rate regulation problem is addressed for the well-known second order nonlinear
model of the human heart rate response during treadmill/cycle-ergometer exercises. The …

The aim was to develop and to investigate the technical feasibility of a novel smartphone-
based mobile system for feedback control of heart rate during outdoor running. Accurate …
