A method for measuring a physical condition of an individual by using a post-exercise heart rate recovery rate is provided and, has steps of: acquiring a heart rate of the individual during a recovery period after a physical activity of the individual； calculating a heart rates recovery rate of the individual using a nonlinear regression equation, which includes a parameter representing the rate of heart rate recovery； and determining the physical condition of the individual based upon the parameter. Hereby, the accuracy of measuring the heart rate recovery rate is better than other conventional methods.
