Abstract :
We proposed the non-contact measurement method of the respiratory movement under pedal stroke motion, by the application of optical technique. By the simultaneous measurement with the expiration gas analyzer, we examined the effectiveness of the proposal method. As the results, we clarified that the calculated value obtained by our proposal method is highly correlated with the tidal volume expiration measured by the expiration gas analyzer.
