Axillary sweat was sampled by cotton pads over the course of one hour from 49 donors (28 males) in two situations: the first situation was a final oral examination at the university in order to acquire an academic degree (anxiety condition), and the second situation of sweat collection entailed a standardized
ergometer training (sport condition).
The first group warmed - up, cooled - down and did 30 cycles of eight - second sprints with 12 - second recoveries on a cycle
ergometer in the aforesaid 20 minutes.
Subjects were fed 1 g carbohydrate per kilogram body weight from either raisins or sports gel 45 minutes prior to exercise on a cycle
ergometer at 70 % VO2max.
Exercise tests, such as the maximal cycle
ergometer exercise test, are used to evaluate cardiorespiratory fitness.

Leg Ergometer Cycling.»
Mean power, peak power, and fatigue values were determined from 5 supramaximal, 10s cycle
ergometer sprints, each separated by 1 minute rest intervals.
Summary: Twelve, trained older (average age 63) cyclists did 2 x 5 - minute maximum efforts on a bicycle
ergometer separated by an 80 - minute recovery period on four occasions.
Read our top Rowing Machine Reviews to for a detailed analysis of the
best ergometers in the market.
With many installed workouts, the
modern ergometer is an excellent weight - loss tool.
The BikeErg is our latest sport -
based ergometer, bringing the accuracy and quality of the Indoor Rower and SkiErg to cycling.
Preceding the start of all experimental sessions, the subjects performed a warm - up on a Monark cycle
ergometer for 5 minutes at an intensity of 1 kp and 60 rpm.
The subjects participated in 2 identical exercise trials on a cycle
ergometer with a 35 - minute rest period between bouts.
In the second 6 of them did 3 x 3 - minute max efforts on a
bicycle ergometer at 110 % of their VO2 max.
Aerobic capacity was measured by having the subjects run to the point of exhaustion on a treadmill, while anaerobic capacity was assessed through seated
cycling ergometer.
Anyone who's ever competed in crew has spent countless hours on
an ergometer, a rowing machine made up of a vertical flywheel, a bicycle chain and a seat sliding along a central metal support.
He recently took part in a bit of Eurotrash sport —
an ergometer contest broadcast on Austrian TV — because of the generous appearance money.
Body adiposity, on the other hand, was measured using dual - energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed using a maximal exercise test on a cycle
ergometer.
For instance, if
the ergometer registers 300 watts, the scientists can check whether the athlete is generating the 300 watts or if they are having to work harder to compensate for power lost through the prosthesis or incorrect movements.
He took frequent height measurements, comfort and mobility surveys, skin swabs for hygiene assessments, and also exercised with the suit on the Station's bicycle
ergometer.
This light exposure was immediately followed by the performance test on the bicycle
ergometer.
To measure the impact of physical fitness on heart disease risk factors, the researchers selected 205 men and 44 women with heart disease, including coronary artery disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, and heart valve disease, and had them undergo a cycle
ergometer (stationary bike) stress test to determine their fitness level.
Exercise tests using a bicycle
ergometer were conducted prior to injection and on three other occasions.
The researchers used a bicycle
ergometer to determine that as the fatigue progressed, the insular cortex to the primary motoric region communication became more intense.
The name comes from Japanese researcher Izumi Tabata, who in 1996 authored a study that showed athletes who trained on
an ergometer (an exercise bike) for a total of 20 minutes per week experienced similar aerobic benefits to a group that performed more moderate exercise each week for five hours.
«One of the reasons that the original research was done on
an ergometer was so that there would not be easy place to rest.»
VO2 max (also referred to as maximal oxygen consumption, peak oxygen uptake) is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption as measured during incremental exercise, usually on a treadmill or cycle
ergometer.
A 2 hour rest followed the consumption of the drink, and then a 15 minute time trial was performed on a cycle
ergometer.
It's called
an ergometer or erg for short not a «rower», as a rower I find this disrespectful to the machine especially when they cost upwards of 2500 $
The participants underwent 12 sessions of cycle
ergometer - based HIIT.
The Indoor Rower, also commonly referred to as
the ergometer, was first introduced as a military training device for beginners to learn technique and train on - shore before they went on board ships.
Rowing aerobic sessions on
the ergometers are rarely more than an hour and a half, and racing lasts only between 6 and 20 minutes.
Each exercise session ended with a 5 - min cooling down period on the cycle
ergometer.
After a 5 - min warm - up on a cycle
ergometer, the training session consisted of 4 sets on both the leg press and the leg extension machines (Technogym); these 2 exercises were performed every training session.
At the beginning of the study, they examined the 191 women, aged 38 to 60 years, by having them perform
an ergometer cycling test designed to test their level of cardiovascular fitness.
Increased cardiovascular fitness, as measured by Wmax / kg by using
an ergometer cycle, was associated with better cognitive scores at age 18 y.
