VO2Max Comparison Between Seated and Standing Ergometry
… studies show V02max during standing cycle ergometry protocols and treadmill protocols to be similar, while seated cycle ergometry V02tnax values are lower. Conversely, other studies show seated and standing cycle ergometry V02max to be comparable. Because previous studies are equivocal, the …

Cardiopulmonary analysis of habituation to simulated kayak ergometry
All forms of exercise equipment require a period of habituation in which individuals adapt to the novel movement required in operating the device and reach a point of physiological stability. During this adaptation period, physiological variables which indicate cardiopulmonary demand typically will …

Methodological developments in the assessment of physiological responses to arm crank ergometry
… years (2001 to 2007), focused upon arm crank ergometry exercise testing. A number of topical issues have been considered, including: 1) the development of fundamental exercise protocols; 2) the assessment of oxygen uptake (VO2) kinetics; 3) the assessment of external power production during …

The Effect of Varying Cadence in Cycle Ergometry on Submaximal Predictions of Peak Oxygen Uptake
… cadence had on the ability of a submaximal cycle ergometry test to accurately predict peak oxygen uptake (VO2) using the standard YMCA protocol workloads. There has been limited scholarship investigating the effect that varying cadence has on trained cyclists and almost none on untrained …

Ratings of perceived exertion during steady-state exercise using leg-only versus arm-and-leg cycle ergometry
Past psychophysiological research has led many investigators to believe that perceived effort during exercise is lower with greater active muscle mass (Hagan, et al., 1983; Sargeant & Davies, 1973; Shephard, et al., 1992; Stenberg, et al., 1967), presumably because the effort is distributed to more …

Effects of G-trainer, cycle ergometry, and stretching on physiological and performance markers of recovery from endurance exercise.
… 30 minutes of AlterG G-trainer or cycle ergometry (at ~40% VO2max) or static stretching exercises. A significant main effect for time was detected for lactate (p = 0.010) and cortisol (0.039) post-exercise. No other main effects for time,treatment or treatment by time interaction were …

Evaluation of dry-land ergometry in assessment of cardiopulmonary and metabolic responses to arm and leg exercise in swimmers.
Dry-land ergometry has been proposed as an alternative method to water-based testing in an attempt to circumvent the difficulties associated with physiological assessment of swimmers during swimming itself. The aim of the studies presented in this thesis was to evaluate the usefulness of dry-land …

Cardiorespiratory responses to altered rider position with conventional and aerodynamic handlebars
… rider positions while undergoing maximal cycle ergometry. The positions were determined by the position of the hands on the handlebars and the posture of the upper body: upright (UP), and drop position (DP) with conventional racing handlebars, and an aerodynamic tuck (AT) using Scott DH …

A randomised control trial for the restoration of functional ability in patients post total knee arthroplasty: Eccentric versus concentric cycling ergometry
… the effects of an eight-week eccentric cycling ergometry exercise intervention versus a concentric cycling ergometry exercise intervention in total knee arthroplasty recipients three to nine months post-surgery. This study aimed to a) investigate the change in joint kinetics, kinematics and …

The effect of measurement technique, and load and fatigue, with changes in crank arm length, on lower limb kinematics in cycle ergometry
… arm length, on lower limb kinematics in cycle ergometry; Pedal forces in a cycling task can be defined by joint moment cost functions which describe the optimal relationship between pedalling rate and bicycle-rider geometry for any given power level. In a task where power level changes, …

Force Dynamics of the Rat Lateral Gastrocnemius Muscle after Undergoing Sensory Protection
