The Measurement of Maximal (Anaerobic) Power Output on a Cycle Ergometer: A Critical Review
Figure 1
(a) and (b) modelling of cyclist legs with three rigid segments; H, K, A correspond to hip, knee, and ankle joints; black dots and empty circles correspond to the centers of mass of the thighs, lower legs, and feet; dotted circles correspond to pedal trajectory. (c) and (d) changes in gravitational potential energy (continuous lines) and translational kinetic energy (dotted line). Comparison of experimental data collected in a track cyclist on a Lode ergometer at 120 rpm ((a) and (c)) and 220 rpm ((b) and (d)). Personal data.
