Abstract
Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal provides a lot of information about the cardiac functions through its patterns displayed. Besides to use ECG for cardiovascular diseases diagnostic function, the use of ECG has extended to wider areas such as monitoring the performance of athletes, lie detections, human authentication, stresses and emotion measurement. Moreover, from the ECG signal, the heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV) and R-R intervals can be obtained and relate these physiological response value with human physical activities. Thus, the using of an electrocardiogram (ECG) device or wearable ECG monitor to diagnose the heart condition for the training performance evaluation is desirable. The result is recorded and assessed by analyzer (prototype of this project) for diagnosis. This work employs the Metabolic Equivalent Task (MET) to perform the level of physiological activities from volunteers. Any deviation from target heart rate value indicate the current physiological condition proportional to result of training level (either achieved the target already or need to add more the intensity, load, and duration of training). Thus, this work will assess and evaluate the proposed physical activity performance based on the assessment of ECG signal during exercise. Keywords

Introduction
Due to the increasing numbers of people care about cardiac condition and the increase popularity of exercise especially workout/gym among society nowadays, two critical schemes can be enforced in order to ensure that low cost and qualitative health monitoring services can be delivered. However, the problem is people do not know how to carry out the N. Ibrahim (&) C.W.

training and the amount of physical activity is optimum to achieve the desired cardiac fitness state [1]. Compared to complicated fitness medical check-up procedures, the alternative method is using electrocardiogram (ECG) device or wearable ECG monitor to diagnose the heart condition for the training performance evaluation. By attach the electrode onto the skin, the portable ECG device will process the input and display the heart rhythm. The result could be recorded and analyzed by analyzer (prototype of this project) to diagnose the result in order to know better about our heart condition at own place. Any deviation from target heart rate value indicate the current physiological condition proportional to result of training level (either achieved the target already or need to add more the intensity, load and duration of training). This is because the different purpose of training would result in different heart rate variability
