PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a health-state determining method by which biological signals required to determine the health state of an examinee can quickly be collected and also an accurate determination result can quickly be obtained, while providing a health-state determining device for achieving maintenance and improvement of human health and furthermore for determining the health state.SOLUTION: By giving an external stimulation to the examinee performing an exercise, the health state is determined from a change in the biological signal of the examinee by the external stimulation and the age of the examinee. The health state determining device comprises an exercise equipment part, a stimulation means for giving the external stimulation to the examinee, a measuring means for measuring the change in the biological signal of the examinee by the external stimulation, an input means for inputting the age of the examinee, and a determining means for determining the health state of the examinee from the change in the biological signal.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】被験者の健康状態を判断するのに必要な生体信号が迅速に収集できると同時に、精度のよい判断結果が迅速に得られる判断方法を提供する。また、人の健康の維持増進が図れ、さらに健康状態を判断できる健康状態判断装置を提供する。【解決手段】運動を行っている被験者に対して外部刺激を与えて、外部刺激による被験者の生体信号変化と、被験者の年齢とから健康状態を判断する。健康状態判断装置として、運動器具部と、被験者に外部刺激を与える刺激手段と、外部刺激による被験者の生体信号の変化を測定する測定手段と、被験者の年齢を入力する入力手段と、生体信号の変化から被験者の健康状態を判断する判断手段とを備えた構成とする。【選択図】図1
