Abstract
A wearable measuring device comprising a measuring apparatus that comprises at least two measuring units for monitoring a skeletal muscle of a person (or animal, etc.), and comprising a holding apparatus for attaching the measuring apparatus to a body part of the person having the skeletal muscle. It is provided that the measuring units each comprise a force sensor and an associated spring unit, the spring units differing from one another in their spring constant, that the measuring units can be attached to the body part in such a way that the spring units can be tensioned by a particular different section of the skeletal muscle, and that the force sensors are designed to detect a tensioning force of the associated spring unit.
