  • Abstract
    This communication describes a computer-controlled cycle ergometer that generates any dynamic work rate stimulus between 0 and 350 W. The ergometer system features true "zero" watt pedaling and a response time less than 0.5 s. The work rate stimulus is generated via computer software.
