Characterization of photoplethysmographic blood volume pulse waveforms for exercise evaluation

The changes in the blood volume pulse (BVP) of exercising subjects are monitored and analyzed using three different approaches: averaged histogram, average periodogram and average beat amplitude and area. The results for all of these methods of analysis are shown.
