In order to individualize the intensity of an aerobic training program on different ergometers in healthy elderly subjects using a single test of muscular exercise, we analysed cardiorespiratory responses in 8 men (65.7 +/- 4.5 yrs) and 10 women (63.3 +/- 4.8 yrs). The heart rate corresponding to the ventilatory threshold was defined as individualised exercise intensity. All subjects carried ou...

The purpose of this study was to determine "whether there is a comparison aerobic and anaerobic capacities using stationary rowing bicycle ergometer". research method used descriptive with purposive sampling technique, namely 10 athletes training in the city Bandung, criteria for determining sample are female gender. instruments were modified Wingate ergometer test (WanTr) performed on Concept ...

The ergometer can be a versatile means of measurement if attachments are developed for special purposes or if attachment is developed for multi-uses. In this study, an ergometer attachment for the measurement of power was designed and the measurement of power and the maximum anaerobic power in swimming was tested. A rotation drum was attached to one pedal of an ergometer. The rotation of this d...

In this study, we assessed the extent to which 2000-m rowing ergometer performance predicted final rankings at the World Junior Rowing Championship in a sample of 398 junior rowers competing in 13 events. The rowers' ergometer performance times were examined using a questionnaire, and in all 13 events they correlated (P < or = 0.039) with the final rankings at the Championship. The strongest co...

Introduction: Research trials that involve testing of physiological response to exercise and that include tests from more than one institution, or tests across long time periods, may be required to include tests from different ergometer types, mainly treadmill or leg cycle ergometer. The purpose of this study was to establish equivalence of metabolic demand when comparing treadmill to cycle erg...
