This paper describes the experimental method focused on the acquisition of various physiological parameters during different effort levels of physical exercise like walking and running at several velocities. The study involved 57 young and adult people, 43 male and 14 female (24,37±5,96 years), from which 48 were soldiers belonging to the Infantry Regiment n.° 13 (RI13) of the Portuguese Army and 9 were teachers or college students of Sport Sciences, physically active but not competitive. The experimental measures provide a set of information that offers insight about the health status and physical performance of the subjects during exercise. This experimental method procedure is suited for the acquisition of physiological parameters with both the wireless physiological data acquisition systems such as the bioPlux and the respiratory analyzer gas systems such as Cosmed K4b2.The data was collected to allow the definition of a model that will be used to estimate the energy expenditure of a subject using a wireless physiological data acquisition system, which is much more comfortable and suitable to monitor physical exercise in everyday use than the standard method that makes use of a respiratory gas analysis system.

A research program oriented toward the development of a portable data acquisition system for driver performance testing was conducted. This paper describes three tasks which were performed during phase I of the research, namely, identification of parameters that should be measured and definition of the minimum set of parameters, development of design requirements for the data acquisition system, and identification of the data storage and transmission architecture.

The physiological data acquisition system described in this paper is developed for the purposes of student laboratory exercises in biomedical engineering program. The system has the functionality of electrocardiography and electromyography monitoring and can be used as a photoplethysmograph. Alongside the portability, other significant capabilities of the system are concerned with the resources that allow the system?s complete functionality without the cable connections to other devices. Besides, the system's open architecture enables various types of expanding and modifications, which is suitable for student project realizations.

The availability of capable and relatively inexpensive microcomputers and versatile expansion devices has revolutionized education, research, and practice in engineering. A data acquisition and analysis system for use in full scale and large model dynamic testing based on a popular series of microcomputer has been developed. “Quick-look” and preliminary frequency analysis of data are completed in the microcomputer environment, while more detailed frequency domain analysis of single and dual channel data are completed in the mainframe environment. The system has been used for ambient and forced vibration testing of several prototype structures and large models.
