Calibrator for an Electromagnetically Braked Bicycle Ergometer.

Abstract

The electromagnetically braked bicycle ergometer is frequently used in the exercise physiology laboratory as a source of known workload. Normally the accuracy of the device cannot be verified without returning it to the factory for recalibration, a costly and time-consuming process. An instrument that can provide either a quick check of the proper functioning of an ergometer or a highly accurate calibration curve is the subject of this report. (Author)
