SIMULATOR PRECISION DEVICE APPLIED TO CYCLING

摘要

The device os the invention is specially intended to the training and improving the performances of and individual when using his or her own bicycle. The device is comprised of a special kinetic resistance electronic unit (31 and 32) which emulates with precision the dynamic effect of the mass of the user while controlling the resistance torque. A mechanical system of floating axles (21) ensures full operation of the bicycle. Electronic sensors situated at various locations send signs to the electronic control unit (31) which exchanges continuosly information with a computer or terminal (4) where in dynamic variables, physiological parameters and route profiles can be displayed and emtered in order to simulate a real competition situation and to make it more convenient for medical specialists to control the performances of the cyclist along the simulated traject. Special computer programs executed from the computer (4), enable to combine the presentation of the parameters and to generate historic or customised training programs which can be introduced or displayed locally or from a remote location by means of another computer with the use of an appropriate modem.
