Painful phenomenon of the muscles tissues, occurring when the aerobic zone is exceeded leading
to an overproduction of lactic acid. In order to avoid it, the ergo_bike compares measured data, input parameters and
statistical values and displays the resulting aerobic zone status.
The training phase during which the load on the muscles is enough to keep them supplied with oxygen,
but not enough to cause an overproduction of lactic acid (aching muscles). Aerobics also makes use of the aerobic zone.
Acoustic and/or optical feedback on the metabolism and condition of the body.
Body-Mass-Index
Energy measurement unit. Officially obsolete, but still in common use. It refers to thermal energy
in particular. The conversion factor to the unit in use today (J): 1 cal = 4.1868 J, or the other way around 1 J = 0.2388 cal
Automatic training control oriented towards training objectives.
Uses the fact that electric currents induced in a conductor by a fluctuating magnetic field produce
joule-type energy which can be used for an electronically controlled brake.
The balance between energy intake and energy usage. There can only be a balance if intake and
output are the same. For example, in Germany every person consumes on average 400 - 500 Kcal more than he or she
can use.
Energy measurement unit, named after the british physicist James Prescott Joule. (see calorie)
Light Emitting Diode: when current is passed through a LED it emits light, either visible or invisible. It is used for
indicator lamps or remote controls.
Represents only the mechanical work done on the ergometer; it is computed by mean of the
following formula:
Power [Watt] * Time [Sec] = Work [Joule]
Exemple100 Watt * 60s = 6000 Joule = 6 kJoule
This value does not cover the energy needed by the body to maintain its vital functions (e.g. respiration, blood
circulation, metabolism).
The science of life processes
Using the data of the height, the weight, the age, and the sex, the system computes the approximate
basic and total quantity of burned energy. The system will then display the approximate amount of kJoule actually burned
during the training on the ergometer.
Revolutions per Minute.
When switched on, the ergo_bike computer checks the electronic circuits it uses to make sure every thing
functions properly.
An illusion of reality generated by technical means that is influenced by external impulses or gives
impulses to its surrounding. The ergo_bike uses these possibilities through an optional accessory set. This way, you can
travel through beautiful landscapes while training, or experience competition circuits.
Unit of measure of the work done per unit time:
1 W = 1 J / s = 1 Nm / s = 1 VA
