A Reversible Ergometer

Stefan J. A. Lichtneckert, D. Thomson, Susanne Åkesson

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

A new reversible ergometer for either positive (concentric) or negative (eccentric) muscle work is presented. The construction of the ergometer allows either arm or leg work to be performed. As the ergometer is reversible, a subject can work either forwards or backwards with his arms or legs. This is of importance when the effect of positive and negative work on various physiological parameters is compared.
