Abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine whether a group of volunteer subjects could produce and maintain a pedalling cadence within an acceptable range of error. This, in turn, would aid in determining the reliability of pedalling rates employed in work tests on the bicycle ergometer. Forty male college students were randomly given four different treatments. These consisted of pedalling the ergocycle for six minutes at 40, 50, 60, or 70 revolutions per minute. Surface electrodes were applied to the subject's right leg. A metronome was set in front of the subject so that he could pedal the ergocycle in cadence with it. The metronome cadence was then compared with the EMG Trace to determine whether the subject had maintained the correct pedalling cadence. No significant difference was found. (PB) |
