Which type of sensor is used to measure heart rate in fitness trackers?

  1. Accelerometer

  2. Gyroscope

  3. Optical heart rate sensor

  4. Barometer


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Optical heart rate sensors use light to measure the amount of blood flowing through the wrist. This data is then used to calculate the heart rate.

What is the purpose of an accelerometer in a fitness tracker?

  1. To measure heart rate

  2. To track steps taken

  3. To measure blood pressure

  4. To measure oxygen saturation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Accelerometers measure movement and are used to track steps taken, distance traveled, and calories burned.

Which type of sensor is used to measure elevation in fitness trackers?

  1. Accelerometer

  2. Gyroscope

  3. Barometer

  4. Optical heart rate sensor


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Barometers measure air pressure, which can be used to estimate elevation.

What is the function of a gyroscope in a fitness tracker?

  1. To measure heart rate

  2. To track steps taken
